The concept for 2011 revolves around four user-centric pillars. “CeBIT pro” will address professional users, “CeBIT gov” will target government and the public sector, “CeBIT lab” will be home to international research institutions and universities, and “CeBIT life” will cater to prosumers and the techno-savvy consum- er. The event 2010 also successfully reinforced its profile as an international economic policy platform. The concept of integrating corporate events into CeBIT was also termed a success. The next CeBIT will be staged from 1 to 5 March 2011 in Hannover. www.cebit.com  As this year’s CeBIT partner country, Spain sent more than 100 exhibitors to Hannover and played an out- standing part in the communication of the world’s by far largest ICT show. Deutsche Messe’s board mem- ber Ernst Raue said: “Spain’s performance here has definitively established it as one of Europe’s leading ICT nations.” The German Chancellor, Dr. Angela Merkel, and the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Ro- dríguez Zapatero, had officially opened CeBIT 2010. Zapatero highlighted the role of Spain’s economy as bridge to global markets: “Spain is not simply one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. It is also an attractive place for high-tech industrial compa- nies”. Due to their experience specifically on South American markets, Spanish companies are seen as highly interesting partners for joint ventures and co- operation.
