We also assist in finding accommodations in Hannover.

We market your products to agents and distributors through our global network of U.S. Commercial Service offices in Embassies throughout Europe. Our colleagues in these offices alert their local contacts in the ICT industries about your presence at CeBIT and availability to discuss business. We provide you with all leads generated via our promotion campaigns, even if a meeting during CeBIT is not possible. We provide you with information on approximately 20 ICT markets, including lists of agents and distributors from some of these markets. We also offer a quick assessment (Quicktake) on whether your product/s have potential in up to six markets. Finally,  ICT Commercial Specialists from around Europe will be on hand to counsel and assist you and provide information on their individual markets,as well as introducing you to any agents and distributors from their country who are present at the show and have expressed interest in meeting with you.
