The Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells, owned and operated by Arno A. Evers FAIR-PR, Starnberg, Germany, was once more the meeting point for the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell industry at the HANNOVER FAIR ’03. 99 international exhibitors and 122 Forum participants from 19 countries displayed and exchanged their latest developments and products.

Overall, exhibitors were extremely satisfied with their participation at the Group Exhibit. In particular, they valued the high level discussions with the large number of fair attendees and the exchange of experiences with other exhibitors. The Group Exhibit also drew a large number of VIP’s from political and economical backgrounds to Hall 13. Minister Presidents, Erwin Teufel and Christian Wulff, other German politicians of high rank, as well as with various delegations from China, Canada, Denmark, Switzerland and India, informed themselves on the latest developments regarding Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. General Motors, USA, and Adam Opel AG, Germany, for example, presented their new design study AUTOnomy for mobile applications. Companies producing Fuel Cells for stationary and portable applications were confident to enter the commercial market in the coming years. It is possible to review the entire event with the help of detailed Internet documentation at www.hydrogenambassadors.com.

The world’s first “real” Virtual Fair has been launched this year with four international companies meeting at this virtual platform. This new concept has been developed to offer a “real” marketplace on the Internet for trade fair visitors and exhibitors to share information as if they were together at one location, at one venue.

Since the HANNOVER FAIR ’95, Arno A. Evers FAIR-PR has owned and operated the Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells. With 90 international exhibitors displaying their products on 3000 m² of exhibition space, it has developed into the biggest commercial exhibition of this kind worldwide. In 2004, Arno A. Evers is proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Group Exhibit being part of the HANNOVER FAIR. The Dates for the HANNOVER FAIR ’04 are 19th-24th April.
