ACHEMA 2009 Generates Great Optimism
Jul 24 2009
Chemistry and chemical engineering are looking confidently on the future: this sums up ACHEMA 2009. On five days over 173,000 visitors from all over the world visited the 3,767 exhibitors in the exhibition halls in
order to catch up on the latest products and technologies from chemical engineering, biotechnology, environmental protection and adjacent sectors. Moreover, in terms of exhibitors and visitors the 29th ACHEMA
was more international than ever before. 46.6% of the exhibitors and 28% of the visitors came from abroad.
Both the exhibitors and the organisers were highly satisfied with the outcome of the event. "The high number of exhibitors and visitors sent out an unmistakable message that will resound far beyond the
ACHEMA: our branches are going to tackle the challenges and leave the economic crisis behind them", stated
Prof. Dr. Gerhard Kreysa, Chief Executive of DECHEMA e.V.
But it was not only the figures that added up: the exhibitors unanimously praised the high standard of discussions and contacts. There was little hint of crisis at the stands and in the halls - "Everyone`s waiting for
someone to press the Start button and then it will be all systems go", is how one exhibitor described the prevailing mood. Experience shows that around 50% of all contacts made at ACHEMA lead to cooperations.
