Hannover fair shows ‘new face of Poland’: deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin has said that the Hannover Messe, the biggest industrial fair in Europe, has shown “the new face of Poland” – creative, modern and innovative.

The fair,which is being held in Germany between 24 and 28 April, is being co-organised by Germany and Poland this year. Poland is its official partner country and has been promoting itself under the slogan “Smart means Poland”.

Gowin, who is also the Minister of Science and Higher Education, said: “Our German partners, but also scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world visiting the fair see the new face of Poland – the face of a young Poland, dynamic, creative, very modern and very innovative.”

“Especially with regard to the achievements of young Polish scientists and entrepreneurs, we are in the top league internationally,” he added.

Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydło and German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the Hannover fair together on Sunday.

Merkel said: “I hope that Poland’s presence at the Hannover fair will open a new chapter in Polish-German cooperation and that these contacts will become closer and better.”

Over 200 Polish companies are taking part in this year’s fair.
