10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY AT HANNOVER FAIR
RECORD NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITORS
AT WORLD’S PREMIER
HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELL GROUP EXHIBIT
(STARNBERG, GERMANY, March 2004) The Hydrogen
and Fuel Cells Group Exhibit today announced that it would
be breaking all previous records regarding the number
of exhibitors, the amount of floor space and the number
of countries represented at this year’s HANNOVER
FAIR in Germany, April 19-24, 2004.
114 companies from 24
countries will cover approximately 1500
square meters of exhibition space this year. These numbers
represent a massive increase from the first Group
Exhibit at HANNOVER FAIR 95 where 10 companies attended,
covering just 144 square meters.
The exponential growth of the number of companies, countries
and floor space at the Group Exhibit demonstrates that today,
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells (H2/FC) is a growing and commercially
feasible enterprise taking an increasingly important role
in the future energy sector.
With an expected 50,000 energy professionals
visiting the “Energy” trade
show at HANNOVER FAIR this year, the companies making
up the Hydrogen and Fuel Cells exhibit are preparing to unveil
a broad range of cutting-edge products, technologies and innovations
such as fork lift trucks powered by fuel cell systems. Exhibitors
will include a wide spectrum of companies from leading start-ups
to giant multinationals and research institutions who will
exhibit their latest developments, indicate future directions
as well as hint at new products currently in the very early
stages of development.
According to Arno A.
Evers, founder, owner and operator of the annual Hydrogen
and Fuel Cells Exhibition, “The amazing growth of the
H2/FC Group Exhibit over the past decade proves that hydrogen
and fuel cells are no longer a pipe dream. Today, our international
exhibitors represent a growing industry with groundbreaking
technologies, feasible solutions and actual products and services.
The 114 companies exhibiting in 2004 are the real life manifestations
of what politicians only talk about. This is the exhibit where
words turn into actions!”
Mr. Evers added that “Industry insiders all agree
that this is the one and only event that anyone with an interest
in hydrogen and fuel cells can’t afford to miss. Have
a look at our comprehensive internet documentation www.hydrogenambassadors.com.”
The Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Group Exhibit, now
in its tenth year, takes place annually at HANNOVER FAIR’s
energy trade show. This exhibit is widely regarded as the
most important and respected international business platform
for the growing H2/FC industry.
The 114 exhibitors and
forum participants will represent branches of the industry
including producers of hydrogen, fuel cell components, fuel
cell systems (stationary, portable and mobile), peripherals
and test systems for fuel cells, hydrogen transportation,
storage and infrastructure, reformers, and electrolysers.
Participants will also come from the aircraft industry, research
institutions and users of various fuel cell systems.
The HANNOVER FAIR is the world’s
largest industry and energy fair with over 6,000 exhibitors
from 70 nations. Visitors from 120 countries attend the fair
annually.
