This location is an excellent choice. On the one hand, we have increasing demand for modern environmental technology. Who else is better positioned to serve this demand than the German industry.

The number of participants at the show underscores the fact that German companies have realized both.” Manfred Predl, Managing Director, PREDL GmbH, Austria: “We are participating in a show in Turkey for the first time and were not sure what we should expect in Ankara.
