The international trade fair, “MESSE NAGOYA 2010” will take place at Port MESSE NAGOYA from October 27 (Wed) ? 30 (Sat). MESSE NAGOYA is a cross-industrial trade fair that promotes business-to-business exchanges for local small and medium sized enterprises in the Greater Nagoya region. Greater Nagoya Initiative will staff three booths to promote foreign direct investment in the region.

The GNI will conduct the activities as follow: 1) Provide space to foreign companies that just launched in the region for their business activities, 2) Send a message on environmental-friendly research activities to visitors, 3) Promote international exhibitors by providing business matching opportunities with local companies. The service, called Alliance Partners Matchmaking Event (pre-arranged business meetings), is available. This business match-making service will serve as a place to make lively business exchanges for vibrant local and international companies and organizations that are proud of their competitive products, technologies, human resources and services.

Many international organizations from various countries will attend the fair, including Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Indonesia, Poland, Korea, Taiwan,
