30 November 2006, Berlin/GermanyiMEP - First International Media & Exhibition Presentation in Berlin
Hot Spot Russia: Booming Russian trade fair and media market
Under the new brand name iMEP - International Media & Business Presentation – the round table event, presenting two important Russian media and exhibition players: media and exhibition company RESTEC Group and trade magazine “Profil”, gathered almost 40 representatives of business, politics and media in the prestigious Berlin Capital Club.
In his opening speech W.P. Matwejew, minister counsellor of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Germany, pointed out that the countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe continue to be the world’s most dynamic regions for economic growth behind China and India at least until 2014. Within this scenario especially trade fairs and exhibitions as catalysts for supply and demand and therefore mirror of the markets play a decisive role, Matwejew emphasised.
The iMEP-Event was conceptualised by KME, an international consulting company for the media and exhibition industry, headquartered in Berlin, and endorsed by the publishing house local global business media, located in Stuttgart.
The first iMEP event focussed on the Russian market with the presentation of RESTEC Group, a leading Russian media and exhibition company, successfully operating since 1990 in Russia as well as in foreign countries.
For the print media sector Russia’s leading trade magazine “Profil” introduced itself. “Profil”, released since 1996, regularly publishes articles of Business Week and since 2001 cooperates with “DER SPIEGEL”.
Finally the iMEP event presented the German-Russian partner days taking place at the next HANNOVER MESSE in April 2007.
