Brokerage Event SECURITY Essen 2008

With some 40,000 trade visitors from 79 countries and an exhibition area extended to over 75,000 m² SECURITY Essen, the world fair for security and fire prevention, recorded its best result so far in 2006 and clearly increased its lead as the world's No. 1 fair in this branch of industry. 1,027 exhibitors from 47 countries presented their products and services at the last edition of SECURITY Essen 2006.

At the coming SECURITY Essen in October 2008 the Enterprise Europe Network North Rhine-Westphalia organises a matchmaking event at the NRW joint stand (Hall 7) on 8 October. This Brokerage Event is strongly supported by the Sector Group Security and Defence within Enterprise Europe Network. Companies and researchers are welcome to join.

The matching will be organised prior to the fair on the basis of the participants´ co-operation profiles. These profiles are compiled in a catalogue from which the participants select the ones of interest to them. The Enterprise Europe Network will coordinate these requests and draw up individual meeting schedules. The participants will be brought together for bilateral meetings on 8 October.

Target groups are companies, universities and research institutes with an interest in technology co-operation in the area of safety and security.

There is no participation fee.
