Is Germany a winner
after all?
Dear readers,
A few weeks may have passed since the World Cup in Russia and
although the German team got kicked out far too early, the event
certainly benefitted the German economy thanks to a surge of additional
contracts.
According to details provided by the German/Russian chamber of
foreign trade, around fifty companies were involved in modernizing
the infrastructure, assisting with preparations, and maintaining the
premises where the events were staged for the World Cup. The chamber
of foreign trade estimates that the contract value is around EUR 3
billion. Large companies, like Siemens and Bosch, were also involved
and provided safety equipment, as well as air conditioning and heating
units. The Bosch team, for example, installed a video monitoring
system at one of the World Cup venues.
However, even once all of the orders relating to the 2018 World Cup
have been completed, numerous economic experts are certain that the
modernization of hotels and apartments will continue. The World Cup
attracted a lot of tourists from home and abroad. To ensure that
Moscow remains an attractive destination for domestic and foreign
investments, as well as company relocations, the local government has
already been investing in a renovation program since 2017. However, it
remains to be seen to what extent German
companies will benefit from this.
German and Russian companies will have an
excellent opportunity to discuss future cooperations
at Cemat Russia. A spin-off of
Cemat in Hanover, the annual trade fair for
conveying equipment, warehouse
technology, and logistics has become well
established on the Russian market. Cemat
Russia is also an excellent platform for
Russia to extend its potential in the
transport and logistics sector.
