日本成为汉诺威工业博览会合作伙伴国

October 19, 2007 - Hannover. The deal will be sealed in Tokyo on 20 November, when Japan will become the official Partner Country at HANNOVER MESSE 2008 (the Hannover Fair, running from 21 to 25 April next year). The invitation to a partnership came from a very high level, having been proposed to the Japanese government by German Chancellor Angela Merkel around six months ago. The cooperative arrangement is intended to benefit not just the two nations, but also HANNOVER MESSE as a whole. The focus of Japan's Partner Country presentation will be on research and development, industrial automation, robotics, energy, fuel cells, environmental technologies and micro- and nanotechnologies.

10月19日汉诺威消息——该协议将在11月20日在东京完成，届时日本将成为2008汉诺威工业博览会（汉诺威展，明年4月21日至25日举办）的官方合作伙伴国。合作伙伴的邀请来自很高的层次，由德国总理安格拉·默克尔大约6个月前向日本政府提出。该合作安排的计划不仅仅是让这两国受益，而且也使汉诺威展受益。日本的伙伴国介绍重点将集中于研究与开发、工业自动化、机器人、能源、燃料电池、环保技术及微型和纳米技术。

"Partner Country Japan add an extra shine to HANNOVER MESSE," says Wolfgang Pech, Deutsche Messe Vice-President with responsibility for HANNOVER MESSE. "No other nation in the world is as strongly associated with the notion of innovativeness as Japan. We are expecting a number of stimuli for the world market and productive information and knowledge sharing between the business and political communities from both countries."

德国博览会集团公司负责汉诺威展的副总裁Wolfgang Pech表示：“伙伴国日本为汉诺威展添加了亮丽的色彩。世界上没有其他象日本这样与创新概念具有巨大联系的国家了。我们期待为这两个国家商业和政治团体之间的生产信息和知识共享以及世界市场带来促进作用。”

Japan will be presenting itself in Hannover as a high-tech nation par excellence. At the core of the Partner Country participation will be a Japanese pavilion measuring 1,600 square meters in Hall 2, placed squarely in the middle of the Research & Technology innovations market, thus underscoring the Japanese focus on cutting-edge technologies and awarding tangible expression to the official Partner Country slogan of "Cooperation Through Innovation." R&D are of enormous importance in Japan, which has the world's highest expenditure in this area. Japan's particular openness to new products has inspired foreign enterprises to use Japan as a test market, often outsourcing their product development divisions to that nation. The Japanese government concentrates its industrial policy on the burning technology issues of tomorrow, and in so doing, has positioned Japan as a leading actor on the world market.

日本将在汉诺威上作为一个卓越的高科技国家向观众展示。伙伴国参与的核心体现将是位于2号馆的一个占地1600平方米的日本馆，置于研究及技术创新市场的正中，从而强调日本侧重于尖端技术，具体体现了正式合作伙伴国的口号“通过创新合作"。日本极其看重研发，在这方面的投入是世界上最高的。日本对新产品的特别开放性使外国企业利用日本作为一个测试市场，往往把其产品开发部外包给日本。日本政府把其工业政策集中于未来的主要技术领域，通过这样，使日本在世界市场占有领先的位置。

A further highlight will involve the German Japanese Business Summit, staged by the Federation of German Industries (BDI), at which leading lights from the world of business and government from both nations will engage in a dialogue. And Japanese participation is also planned for the WORLD ENERGY DIALOGUE. The topic of this international conference in 2008 will be innovative power plant technologies

进一步的焦点是由德国工业联合会筹备的德日商业峰会，会上来自两国商界和政界的重要人物将展开一场对话。日本还计划参与”世界能源对话“会议。2008年这一国际会议的主题将是创新的电厂技术。

Objective: Expansion of bilateral trade relations
目的：扩大双边经贸关系

Both the Japanese and German sides are expecting Japan's Partner Country participation to extend and deepen bilateral relations. The level of cooperation in research and technology is a particular target for an enhanced role. Here, HANNOVER MESSE assumes the role of a catalyst which will make it easier for countries from both countries to establish themselves in the respective national market. Japan and Deutschland are global drivers of industrial innovation and can go toe-to-toe with each other in this sphere. As the world's leading technology exhibition, HANNOVER MESSE provides a perfect platform for these objectives. Leading international figures from business, science and government traditionally come to Hannover to conduct talks and announce new ideas and policies.

无论是日本还是德国，双方都期待着日本的合作伙伴国参与，以扩大和深化双边关系。在研究和技术领域的合作水平更是一个特别的目标，发挥着更大的作用。在这里，汉诺威展承担着一个催化剂的角色，将会使各国更容易从两个国家建立自己在各自国家的市场。日本和德国都是全球产业创新的先驱，双方可以在在这一领域进行紧密的合作。作为世界领先的科技展，汉诺威展为实现这些目标提供了一个完美的平台。来自商业、科学和政府领域的国际要人历来都来到汉诺威展进行会谈，宣布新的创意和政策。

95 percent of the HANNOVER MESSE audience consists of industry professionals, 30 percent of whom travel to Germany from abroad to attend the event. These decision-makers come to Hannover to get an overview of the current state of the market, discover new technology applications, generate new leads and initiate investments. As a veritable one-stop shop, HANNOVER MESSE 2008 will showcase the latest technology trends and developments in all key sectors of industry, all under the same roof. The major display categories are automation, energy technologies, industrial subcontracting and services, and cutting-edge technologies. The upcoming HANNOVER MESSE will comprise 10 individual, international flagship shows, occupying a total of around 165,000 square meters of space. The organizers are expecting some 5,000 exhibitors from a total of 70 different nations. Japan's Partner Country participation was preceded by that of Turkey (2007) and India (2006).
