Exhibitor Statements 2010

"The premiere of Real Estate North 2010 was very promising. Deutsche Messe turned a converted terminal into an efficient trade fair site with an airport ambience. And our clients were thrilled at the opportunity to take part in interesting discussions with visitors from abroad, for example from Switzerland and England. We are heading in the right direction."

Wirtschaftsförderung und Technologietransfer Schleswig-Holstein GmbH (WTSH) is the principal business development agency in Schleswig-Holstein. Its key tasks include location marketing and the acquisition of companies in Germany and abroad. To this end, international real estate shows are an important platform for presenting Schleswig-Holstein as an economic region.

"In northern Germany we have never had a flagship event that allows us to draw greater public attention to the region," says Dr. Bernd Bösche, Managing Director of WTSH. "We are delighted that REAL ESTATE NORTH has been established as an event designed to serve this purpose."

From WTSH's perpective, the involvement of exhibitors, investors and visitors from all over northern and north-eastern Europe offers an outstanding opportunity for promoting northern Germany's key benefits and attractive projects to an international audience.

"We are impressed by the REAL ESTATE NORTH concept and will definitely be exhibiting at the event in 2010," confirmed Bösche. "Moreover, as a member of the Exhibitor Advisory Committee, the WTSH will play an active role in the further development of the event."

"This new exhibition concept was overdue, and its debut fulfilled our expectations. The fair was the ideal combination of important talks with expert visitors and an efficient exchange of information at all levels. We are looking forward to being here again."

"Nglobal, Lower Saxony's business development organization, actively supports the continued development of the real estate trade show with its focus on northern Germany. The systematic inclusion of neighbouring countries bordering the North Sea and the Baltic increases the attractiveness of this commercial property event in northern Germany. Cooperation between the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony affords a broad foundation for the exchange of industry know-how - for instance, relating to logistics, ports and maritime industry - with business development experts from the municipal organizations. As the event organizer, Deutsche Messe AG is a professional, internationally oriented partner and also provides valuable support as regards international visitor advertising for Real Estate North."

"The Northern European region is important for the real estate market, which is why we are behind Real Estate North as a marketplace pushing the industry forward."
