Comments of the participants about the exhibition 2009: |
"...One can think of the 15th International specialized Trade Fair of drinks industry Alco+Soft 2009, that was held in September, differently. No doubt that we have to give our due to the enthusiasm of ACCO International Company. One of the few specialized exhibitions took place in spite of crisis and was of benefit for both participants and visitors. However, if earlier exhibitors considered their participation to be the element of image, now even leaders of the market did not have an opportunity to buy a stand because of the expense optimization programs. This year, mostly regional companies belonged to the participants. The aim of their participation was to demonstrate new trademarks that are not sold in shops of the capital.
We can make a conclusion that nowadays foreign businesses are interested in Ukrainian companies. And so we have to recognize the fact that refusal of Ukrainian leading companies from the participation in the specialized exhibition displayed the industry as under-developed and not very attractive for foreigners that are ready to cooperation with domestic business-structures.”
