SORMEC is pleased to announce it will be attending the NEVA 2011 Conference and Exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia, taking place on 20-23 September 2011.

For 20 years, since 1991, the NEVA international exhibitions have successfully promoted the massive redevelopment of the Russian commercial maritime industries.

Supported by the leading administrations and enterprises in Russia and by over 600 domestic and global exhibitors, NEVA 2011 will build on this historic platform to accelerate the future expansion and investment required to re-establish the influential position of the country in the world wide marketplace.

“Direct access to the fastest growth markets of Russia’s maritime and ocean industries,” remains the priority purpose of NEVA 2011. With each exhibition the numbers of foreign exhibitors and national pavilions increase. Each event welcomes thousands of senior directors and managers – we again expect over 25,000 qualified professional visitors in 2011.

NEVA provides the unique gateway to meet the shipping and offshore energy executives from all regions of this massive country under one roof during the four-day program in St. Petersburg, the ‘maritime capital of Russia.’

Each exhibition continuously presents the developments, activities and opportunities for the mainstream industries. Each NEVA also introduces new areas of focus.

In the words of the mayor of one of Europe’s leading maritime cities who attended the last NEVA exhibition in 2009: “The Russian market offers ample business opportunities….the transport sector and the offshore oil and gas and shipbuilding industries show tremendous growth on all fronts.”

The real growth and financial strength of these industries will again be reflected in the expansion and influence of the NEVA 2011 exhibition, which will occupy all Halls of the Lenexpo Exhibition Complex.
