1. Virtuelle Cluster Initiative
The VCI in turn sets the framework, being strategically positioned
around the world for SMEs to have easier access to foreign markets.
Each Exhibition is supported with one project manager for that country.
Which serves as the contact point for SMEs wanting to enter that Market.
Another interesting application of the platform is Virtual Job fairs which can be done, for example
in the city assisting in scholar retention from the universities, and at the same time reducing the
CO2 footprint. The possibilities are endless, Online training and virtual training, upload from videos
of Real Estate for potential investors, Virtual Corporate Event, Virtual Customer Day, Product
Launch .........
It is more than a Trade Fair, it is a virtual environment, visualizing the information which is intended
for transmission. The CeBit and other Trade Fairs could be a possibility for a Hybrid Exhibition,
meaning before, during and after extending the real exhibitions intent.
