Report this content

That's what over 50 exhibitors from Saxony-Anhalt aim to prove at Hannover

Saxony-Anhalt’s Prime Minister and Minister of Science and Economic Affairs agree: "The decisive factors for economic growth are innovation, investment and internationalisation".

As the world's largest trade show for industry, the HANNOVER MESSE is expecting over 5,000 exhibitors from 65 countries between 13 and 17 April 2015. Saxony-Anhalt will be represented at its joint stand of the federal state in hall 4, boot G05, as organised by the Investment and Marketing Corporation Saxony-Anhalt 24 companies and institutions from Saxony-Anhalt will be showcasing their products and services here on the themes of the ‘smart factory' and will highlight the close connection between science and the economy as key location factor.

"Saxony-Anhalt has manifested successful economic development over the last years, and we are proud of our industry and its solid growth, which is for the greater part accounted for by our SMEs. Those smaller companies have enabled a break from a past that was characterised by state-controlled firms, to a more social market economy, to new jobs and therefore to new prospects for the future. The defining SME character of the Saxony-Anhalt economy will also be able to cope with the competition that lies ahead, which will be at both national and international levels," these were the words of Saxony-Anhalt’s Prime Minister Dr. Reiner Haseloff to kick off today's start to the HANNOVER MESSE 2015. He would go on to stress the importance of strengthening the state's small and medium-sized companies.

"The state is basing its future on a clear growth strategy: we want to promote innovations, both in the product- and in the process-oriented senses. This requires that the state should foster an innovations-friendly environment, and one that makes knowledge available to the companies in order to improve their procedures and, at the same time, one that transfers inventions from the scientific community into marketable innovations," emphasised the Minister of Science and Economic Affairs, Harmut Möllring. "In parallel with this, our companies must redouble their efforts to open up new key markets abroad. The more innovative our companies are, the sooner they will be able to become active on international markets. If innovative business ideas are implemented, if firms that are strong in the technology sector invest, grow, and are present on international markets, in the final analysis everyone of us stands to benefit," Möllring continued.
