Foreign participation increasing

Internationality remains the big issue at the IPM International Plant Fair in Essen, Germany. More than half of the exhibition space at the 31st IPM from 22 to 25 January 2013 will be taken by companies from abroad. The organisers also report that there will again be an increase in the number of exhibitors in 2013; more than 1 500 exhibitors from over 40 countries are expected to attend the event, as well as around 60 000 visitors again.
