India has just been designated the official Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE 2015, putting this vast nation of more than 1.2 billion inhabitants squarely in the spotlight at the world's leading industrial exhibition. "India is an emerging economic giant which is going to open up enormous sales potential for our German and international exhibitors at HANNOVER MESSE," commented Dr. Jochen Köckler, member of the Deutsche Messe Managing Board. "At the same time we will be offering even more exhibitors from India access to new global markets. Ultimately all our exhibitors and visitors as well as the trade fair venue of Hannover will benefit equally from the participation of this attractive Partner Country."
