2010 Participants' Feedback

The exhibition was well organized and covered all sectors of renewable energy and energy efficiency. All exhibitors of the German pavilion benefited of good contacts at the event. We will be back in 2011! Continue growing!!!

I thank your ViaExpo Team for the really good job you have done! The organisation of the exhibition in general and the Austrian pavilion especially was very good and my exhibitors and also the officials were very satisfied with the presence of Austria.

Everything was perfect. We will also participate in 2011. Thank you for your support.

I think you did a fantastic job. Logistic worked out and was fine, so that is most important.

The exhibition was very promising for us and we hope it will help our new office in Bulgaria make successful business and profitable deals.

We are very satisfied with the whole event. What did we like: good organization, very helpful and nice employees, the number of exhibitors which is steady growing, the high interest from the visitors’ side, the international visitors/exhibitors structure.

The exhibition met our expectation with the number of exhibitors and interest of visitors not only from Bulgaria, but as well as from the surrounding region.

The exhibition and conference was fine – thank you once again very much for your support and flexibility!

The organization of the event was on a very high level and our participation in the Congress will be an excellent start for the activity we begin to perform.

Our participation in the exhibition was very successful - we achieved our goal to check the market situation.

We established very useful contacts - the first meetings with companies which revealed interest to us during the exhibition, are already a fact.

We made very useful contacts with more than 50 potential partners and as a result we are already working on several projects.

The congress as well as the exhibition have covered all types of renewable energy, so this event is a major step in promoting alternative sources of energy. All exhibitors at the German pavilion benefited from the huge interest this event created. For sure, we will come back next year.

The congress was very successful, well organized with good speakers and audience.
Viki Georgakopoulou, Greek Ministry of Development

The contacts we had were very concrete. We got many inquiries from Municipalities (for district heating plants working with biomass) and Technical Agency’s. So we were satisfied with the quality of the visitors.
Thomas Hofmann, POLYTECHNIK GmbH, Austria

I am pleased to tell you that the comments were very good. The Austrian companies appreciated that the EE & RES exhibition was specialized and attracted only visitors with concrete interest in these topics. I was positively mentioned as well that the fair was relatively short – 3 days – and therefore not so time consuming. We believe that we will be able to attract more Austrian participants for the next fair scheduled for April 2010.
Michael Angerer – the Commercial Counsellor at the Austrian Embassy in Sofia

EE & RES is developing better and better in this part of Europe, even in a year of crisis. The strategic partnership with the more advanced EU member states, particularly with Germany, and the know-how transfer helps a lot to accelerate the EE & RES development in South-East Europe. The Congress efforts to network the experts gives its first positive results and we are happy for the foundation of the EE & RES Federation for SE Europe in 2009. The unification will help the Region to move faster forward. Energy Efficiency needs an improvement in all South-East European countries and Solar, Wind, Bio and Geo are trendy already in all of them.
