Euro India Transportation Systems to debut in November 09
The first Euro India Transportation Systems (EITS) trade show will take place in Metz, in eastern France, from 17 to 19 November 2009. The event will welcome 1,500 Indian and European companies from across the automotive, aerospace, rail, truck and bus, shipbuilding, transport and logistics industries. During the three days of the show, Euro India Transportation Systems will, for the first time, bring together 1,500 representatives from Indian and European companies across six sectors of activity (automotive, aerospace, rail, truck/bus, shipbuilding, and transport & logistics). There will be pre-arranged individual B-to-B business meetings between Indian and European companies, as well as a wide-ranging programme of 40 conferences. EITS is aimed at directors and decision-makers from both large and small or medium-sized companies who want to initiate a qualitative, targeted development of their business in the Indian or European markets. EITS will offer an excellent forum for Indian and European companies to meet players in the transport industry from the two continents in order to develop enduring industrial partnerships. In a context of rapidly increasing trade between Europe and India, the transport sector represents a market with considerable potential for development. In the automotive sector, which is currently experiencing difficulty given the economic outlook, there is still immense potential for growth between India and Europe. Taken together, the countries of Europe are still the world’s largest car producer. For its part, the Indian government has set an objective of 80 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants, as compared with the current figure of 8 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants, with an anticipated growth rate of 20% per year. In the aerospace sector, the modernisation of airport infrastructures and the increase in air traffic – both cargo and commercial – look set to generate business opportunities estimated at €30 billion over the next 10 years. The bilateral trade flows between India and Europe are expected to reach €70.7 billion in 2010 and €160.6 billion in 2015. India has a dynamic economy currently enjoying a 6.7% growth rate, despite the economic crisis. India has the 12th highest GDP in the world (figures from the IMF and the World Bank). Euro India Transportation Systems will provide opportunities for companies in the European and Indian transport industries wishing to initiate enduring industrial exchanges between Europe and India, and develop partnership agreements. The event is expected to attract 1,500 Indian and European transport companies to Metz. Euro India TS targets complementary industrial networks for which the development of transport reflects clearly identified offers and requirements in Europe and India: engineering and R&D, materials, plastics technologies, composites and polymers, metalwork, mechanics, microtechnology and nanotechnology, technical textiles, on-board electronics, electricity, metrology, satellite navigation, industrial IT, motorisation systems and energy. About Euro India Transportation Systems Euro India TS is organised by the Moselle Développement economic development agency with support from the PROXIMUM Group, an organiser of B-to-B events, and the council of the Moselle département. During Euro India Transportation Systems, there will be 5,000 pre-arranged individual business meetings, with the participation of 300 Indian companies and 1,200 European companies. The département of Moselle lies at the heart of the Saar-Lorraine-Luxembourg transborder region. The Moselle Council aims to make its département the ‘gateway to Europe for India’, by helping to establish networks of enduring industrial relations between India and Europe. Positioned at the heart of Europe’s industrial infrastructure, Moselle is a natural choice for hosting this flagship exhibition of Indo-European collaboration in the transport industries. EITS will take place from 17 to 19 November 2009 in Metz (France). For further information, please go to: www.eits-event.com FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT:
