Said Mette Petersen: “ We regularly provide a North American Pavilion at photokina which is a very cost-effective tool for US and Canadian companies to enter into or to expand their business overseas. We have a very loyal following of companies that prefer to exhibit within this setting among them companies such as Micron/Aptina, ZBE, Omivision and Powis Parker and many others. The current low dollar evaluation paired with the current slow US economy is providing a truly unique opportunity for North American companies to find export channels.”

Exhibitors in the North American Pavilion are provided with a fully equipped turn-key booth. Koelnmesse Inc. will also provide translators, hostesses and a lounge area for meetings with potential customers. The U.S. Commerical staff will be on hand to assist with export and licensing questions.
