interzum 2007 was a marketplace of new opportunities and the sector’s global trend forum. Here you were able to make contacts, meet new business partners, share your expertise and promote innovations. This leading international trade fair, which turns 50 in two years’ time, had once again set the benchmarks with its all-encompassing integrated approach. Various familiar elements, including the interzum Campus, the forums with their exciting supporting events, and the interzum Piazzas with their attractive meeting areas, offered excellent opportunities to share know-how. And that’s not to mention the many exhibitors from around the world who presented a wide range of products, technologies, developments and design objects spanning the entire value chain. Trade visitors and journalists alike were impressed.
