Dear Reader:
The show is over, and it was the best show
of recent years !
Much as a pilgrimage to Mecca is mandatory for Muslims, ICT
aficionados every March flock to a technological Mecca of
their own: the epic CeBIT fairground, and nothing can stop
them, as the German news magazine SPIEGEL online quoted a
visitor as saying:
" Worse than March in Germany is March in Hannover;
and worse than March in Hannover is March at CeBIT. A journey
to this bleak, wind-beaten plot of land at the end of the
universe by light green toy-like tram cars is hardly more
desirable than an expedition to Antarctica. But even polar
explorations can wake yearnings in human beings, and so every
year in March I am seized by the irrational desire to put
on warm clothing and sally forth to Hannover..."
And quite so they all came this year, to a streamlined, spirited
event with a most optimistic atmosphere. In contrast to other
sectors of the economy, it was evident that business is back
to the ICT sector, and an upbeat mood at one of the best CeBITs
ever confirmed it.
There is no need to tell more in this e-paper. For an after-show
summary in four parts please go to our homepage www.taiwan-technology.com
and retrieve it from the "headline news" section.
For those of you who were there it will be a fond remembrance,
while procrastinators may see what they missed. And for those
few export-oriented Taiwan manufacturers who have not exhibited
at CeBIT so far, it may serve as an encouragement for CeBIT
2005 to top the list of this year's 709 Taiwan exhibitors,
which again mustered the most numerous foreign contingent
at this world's biggest trade show.
And now for something completely different:
Many new readers subscribed to TAIWAN TECHNOLOGY at one of
our 11 service offices on the fairground this year, and so
this might be the first e-paper they receive. Therefore, a
concise introduction may be helpful:
TAIWAN TECHNOLOGY is a product of the e-media division of
the Hannover Pacific Corp., a Taipei-based marketing service
firm, official representative of Deutsche Messe AG and its
worldwide trade fairs. For a detailed scope of our business,
please click "about us" on our homepage.
Our search engine will link you to the most prominent ICT
manufacturers of Taiwan and to a host of information on ICT
trade shows around the world, including visa requirements,
travel connections, and local informations such as traffic,
culture, customs and after-hour entertainment. Do you seek
a Chinese restaurant in Dubai? You need seek no further, TAIWAN
TECHNOLOGY will know it, for example.
Our news section is divided into intelligence about new products
as well as a small, careful selection of those headline news
that might provide background information for you to back
up your purchase decisions.
And our e-papers, like this one, pinpoint-target topical developments
if the need arises, and also serve as frequent reminders of
our existence - - one must be insistive in this era of mass
communication!
Back issues of our e-papers as well as headline news and
product informations are also retrievable from our homepage,
as much as two years back.
Let's keep connected !
