No. 1 – June 2009

Let’s prepare for the ÖKOINDUSTRIA International Environmental Industry Exhibition!

We are going to organise the exhibition on 18-20 November 2009 in the SYMA Event Center,
Budapest.

In the current economic crisis the new exhibition has a special role. Now the environmental
industry could be the break out point for other industries to get out of the crisis, so it is very
important to enforce this in economic decisions.
We are convinced, that a new approach should be demonstrated. The increase of consumption
cannot be our main objective. The solution for the current economic crisis is not the expansion
of the producer industries, but to increase the sustainable, environmental industry.
We must show now, that the capacity for innovation can lead to success, and this is really true
for the environmental industry. We must show now, that the European Union has a competitive
environmental industry and send this message to the economies, societies and the whole world
economy.

- New themes: up-to-date themes
- New venue: SYMA Event Center ( Dózsa György út 1.,1146 Budapest, Hungary - at the
