May 26-27, CeBIT America - 2004: Comprehensive Russian Program
The Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council announces Russian - American program, which includes a conference and exhibition, in conjunction with the CeBIT America Information and Communications Technology Trade Fair on May 26 & 27, 2004 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, NY. This comprehensive Russian Conference program, which will provide opportunities for further business and technology cooperation between the U.S. and Russian companies, includes a seminar, panel discussions, and a special Russian Pavilion. The Russian Pavilion, organized by the Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council, has an extensive display (MARBC Pavilion #3841) in the Exhibit Hall featuring the vast array of Russian science and technology capabilities.
Since the establishment of CeBIT America, the Russian Conference, organized by the Mid-Atlantic - Russia Business Council, became an important component of the international program of CeBIT America. This year the Russian conference, organized by MARBC in association with BISNIS - a unit of the U.S. Department of Commerce, includes two days of panels and presentations covering the most promising and pressing issues of the Russian-American business and technology cooperation and will be held in CeBIT America-MARBC Theater #3833. The "Russian Science & Technology Opportunities for U.S. Business" seminar is a vital part of the Russian Conference. The seminar highlights various institutes, scientists and projects in Russia, and includes presentations by U.S. corporations with significant technology transfer collaboration experience in Russia. The presenters include a diverse group of representatives ranging from major corporations to small businesses, and from research universities to technology associations and foundations such as U.S. Industry Coalition (USIC), U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) and the U.S. Department of State's Science Centers Partners Program. USIC members participate in the Department of Energy's Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention, a program partnering weapons scientists in the former Soviet Union with U.S. industry to transform weapons technologies into viable products for the global market. The State Department's Partners Program, through Science Centers in Moscow and Kiev, offers U.S. businesses a protective infrastructure for funding basic and applied research projects, technology development, and technology demonstration research in the former Soviet Union.
A delegation from the Russian Federation, representing companies in the information technology, telecommunications and other technology industries, will be present to engage in two days of panel discussions and to exhibit the latest advancements in Russian technology for the duration of the CeBIT America. The Russian delegation visit will be organized by MARBC in association with The Ministry of Economic Development & Trade of the Russian Federation, The Ministry of Education & Science of the Russian Federation, The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, The Moscow Entrepreneurs Association, sponsored by EPAM Systems with promotional support from Integral, Algorithm Group, SiliconTaiga, and Groteck.
CeBIT is the world's largest and most influential information and communications technology trade fair. Emphasizing the entire spectrum of enterprise technology, CeBIT America joins an annual roster of international CeBIT events. This is the premier US forum to explore the full range of next generation global technologies and solutions. In 2003 CeBIT America started as an annual event to bring together a few hundred exhibitors and tens of thousands of senior decision-makers from technology and vertical industries, including the automotive, banking, education, government, healthcare, hospitality, insurance & finance, manufacturing, media & publishing, and retail sectors. Partnering with leading business and government organizations, CeBIT America will offer exclusive business and educational opportunities for exhibitors and attendees.
