elcomUkraine 2010: 260 exhibitors from 17 countries attend some 10,500 professionals
During the year 2009, the Ukrainian energy and electro-technology market experienced a considerable downturn. German exports of electro-technical products to Ukraine, for instance, decreased by 51.9 %, but nevertheless amounted to Euro 477.9 million. Meanwhile Ukrainian exports of electro-technology to Germany dropped by 11.6 % to now Euro 188.5 million. (Figures courtesy of ZVEI-the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association)
As outlined by Ubifrance for elcomUkraine, however, the Ukrainian market has got good prospects on the medium and the long run:
- With an amount of 193 TWH of electric power generation in 2008, Ukraine ranks 12th on a global scale. Because of aged technologies, the country offers plenty of business opportunities in the energy-efficiency sector in order to reduce power consumption, which for the time being is twice as high as in Germany.
- The majority of the 28 Ukrainian power distributing enterprises as well as 1 out of 6 power generation suppliers have been successfully privatised.
- International funds have been attributed and allow the sector to develop: US $ 200 million for the modernisation of sub-stations and the extension of the energy distribution network until the year 2012; and US $ 106 for the modernisation of production capacities.
- The target to harmonise the Ukrainian energy network with the European UCTE-norms has been adopted within the “Energy Strategy 2030”.
Given these promising prospects, it comes at no surprise having achieved a very considerable participation for elcomUkraine 2010. With 260 exhibitors from 17 countries and 10,500 professional visitors expected, the 14th elcomUkraine confirms its position as Ukraine’s most important and one of Eastern Europe’s leading business platforms for electro technology.
