Pollutec 2008 results

Forecasts confirmed: a record show

The 23rd Pollutec, the international exhibition of environment equipment, technologies and services, which took place from 2nd to 5th December at Lyon Eurexpo, fulfilled all the expectations it had excited of outstanding success by attracting 73,668 visitors, representing a 9.4% rise on 2006 (67,326 visitors).

The show also confirmed its position as the world’s leading event for the environment market, with an 11% increase in the number of visitors from outside France to 8,422 professionals drawn from 110 countries, compared with 7,579 from 105 countries in 2006.

These exceptional visitor figures achieved despite a difficult end of year for many companies make clear just what a priority the environment has become today for the world of business and public bodies, and the sheer pulling power of a must visit event that this year featured 2,340 exhibitors (6% up on 2006), including 29% from outside France, who occupied a total of 108,300 m² of exhibition space (11% up on 2006).
