IPM goes to Moscow

Messe Essen would like to establish another offshoot of the International Plant Fair (IPM), this time in Moscow. The Flower-IPM-Tech-Moscow is expected to take off in September 2008. This new offshoot of the IPM will be docked onto the existing Flowers trade fair, which is held in the All-Russian Exhibition Centre. However, not all the necessary conditions have so far been fulfilled – the hall designated for the new fair has yet to be built.
