As a result of the current global recession, which has hit industry particularly hard, many potential participants have been unable to sign up for the Cumbre Industrial (“Industry Summit”) event, a technology fair with three sub-events under the names Subcontratación, Automatización and Trasmet, which was scheduled to take place in September this year. It is not therefore possible to assure an event of the standard, quality and size required by the Bilbao Exhibition Centre to meet the business expectations and maximise the returns of exhibitors and visitors alike. To ensure success in the proper setting, the organisers have decided to postpone this veteran event until 2011.

The decision to hold over the event scheduled for this September was taken in the wake of an extensive survey of players in the relevant sectors. This benchmark event for capital goods manufacturing sectors will be reconvened in 2011 with a new design better adapted to the changing circumstances and commercial requirements of its target market, in line with the trend in economic and commercial affairs in the coming months.
