Cidex Trade Fairs from Oct 1

OUR REGIONAL BUREAU
Chennai, 14 June

Cidex trade fairs, a joint venture between two German trade fair companies - Messe Duesseldorf GMBH and Koelnmesse International GMBH, expects 25 percent of its stalls for the forthcoming Biotec India 2005, Pharma India 2005 and Interkama India 2005 trade fairs to be taken up by foreign companies.

"These foreign companies are on the lookout for Indian distributors and are taking a cursory glance at the Indian market. Since we market our shows abroad (through 114 marketing offices) they attract good visitors," said Japesh Thakur, project director, Cidex.

The three fairs are to be held simultaneously between Oct 01 and Oct 03 in Greater Noida. Pharma India 2005 is an exhibition-cum-conference on the pharmaceutical industry, Biotec India is an exhibition-cum-conference on biotechnology equipments, products and services, Interkama is an exhibition that will focus on process and manufacturing automation, and integrated IT Solutions.

Cidex expects to put up between 100 and 125 stalls. Cidex organises exhibitions, conferences and fairs niche segments including processed food, metallurgy and hospital equipment.
