&quot;10th Germany at CERN&quot; Industrial Exhibition and the first &quot;Innovation Forum at CERN&quot;

On 29 and 30 January 2008, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will join forces with CERN in organizing the "10th Germany at CERN" Industrial Exhibition and the first "Innovation Forum at CERN". The Industrial Exhibition provides the opportunity for some 30 German companies to present their products and services to the scientists and buyers of CERN, establish contacts and gather information on future purchasing opportunities. The main subjects will be the following: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, civil engineering and buildings, data processing, radiation protection and vacuum and low temperature technology.

The first ever "Innovation Forum at CERN" - open to all CERN Member States – will bring together under one roof researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs to understand and discuss CERN’s applied technology. They will learn about the know-how accumulated through the LHC, the five detectors and the worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), discuss possible cooperation and offer their own services.

More than 200 German and foreign participants representing about a hundred research institutes and enterprises are expected to attend.

On 29 January, Dr. Beatrix Vierkorn-Rudolph, BMBF Department Leader, and CERN Director-General Dr. Robert Aymar will open the exhibition and the Innovation Forum. This will be followed by a tour of the exhibition and presentations on technology transfer. In the afternoon discussions on individual cooperation opportunities will take place. During the evening reception at the "Globe of Innovation", participants and invited CERN employees will be able to continue exchanging ideas.

Further discussions and negotiations will take place on the second day of the exhibition as well as visits to the LHC and its experiments.
