Istanbul/Karlsruhe,
26 May 2010. INTERGEO East came to an end in Istanbul last Friday, 21
May, after three successful days. It was the first time that this two-day trade
fair and three-day conference for land management, geoinformation, the
building industry and the environment had been held in the Turkish metropolis.
As anticipated, this unique geographical location enabled the building of new
bridges - Istanbul is, after all, the only city in the world that spans two
continents. "INTERGEO East was able to extend its catchment area to now
include visitors from the Middle East and Russia, adding to those from
South-East Europe," said Olaf Freier, CEO of HINTE GmbH, who was
responsible for organising the event.
Nevertheless,
the sixth INTERGEO East had not met all expectations, added
Freier. Visitor numbers failed to reach their targets. Exhibitors
ascribed this to the public holiday on the Wednesday before the start of the
event. However, the new venue and all the potential it offers were rated
positively by the companies and institutions of 23 countries and the prospects
are considered bright for INTERGEO East 2012. The next few years are set
to see increased market demand thanks to numerous infrastructure-related
measures and developments.
INTERGEO
East will once again be held in Istanbul in spring 2012, announced
Freier. As well as Istanbul Technical University, the International
Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and the
Turkish association, this will also bring together the state surveying and land
registration agencies and INTERGEO East chamber of commerce
partners.
INTERGEO
East 2010 took place in Istanbul from 19 to 21 May.Further
