– Industrial sectors are slowly recovering. In comparison with 2014, the Subcontracting Trade Fair exhibitors’ work situation has, on average, improved and customers are feeling optimistic. It seems that next year there will be a record number of international exhibitors setting the pace for Finnish companies, which means that competition in the global market will become even fiercer. Our aim is to offer companies some tools to tackle this challenge through next year’s themes which will be digitalization and leadership. The trade fair will focus even more on the aspects of what digitalization means in the industrial sector and how the Lean approach commonly used in refining industrial processes could be utilized in leadership, says Product Group Manager Jani Maja of Tampere Trade Fairs Ltd.

 

 

– Once again the Subcontracting Trade Fair showed that people want to meet each other face to face and this event meets that need excellently. The event is also becoming more and more international every year, which supports the companies’ opportunities to build networks and find partners to promote their competitiveness in the global market. Our international visitors have been positively surprised by the extent of the Subcontracting Trade Fair and the fact that they can explore the entire Finnish industrial sector’s offering in Tampere. Russian and Norwegian delegations, among others, visited the trade fair and were very happy with the event, says Managing Director Hannu Vähätalo of Tampere Trade Fairs Ltd.
