From 31 October to 2 November 2007, the 4th Analytica Anacon India invites decision-makers and users from Indian laboratories in science and industry to its new location in Hyderabad
The change in the fair's venue is being accompanied by a new cycle - as of 2007, Analytica Anacon India will be held every other year, on uneven years.
Both changes have been very well received among international market leaders in the analysis, laboratory technology and life science industry, says the organiser.
So far, Agilent, Millipore, Perkin Elmer, Shimadzu, Thermo, and Waters have confirmed that they will be participating in Analytica Anacon India at the new Hitex Exhibition Center in Hyderabad.
The capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh and the sixth largest city in India is considered the hub of the Indian biotech and pharma industries.
It is reinforcing its position by founding a new 'genome valley' and nanotechnology park.
It is an attractive research location that has attracted international and Indian companies including DuPont and Biocon.
Located in the heart of India, Hyderabad is easy to reach using various means of transportation.
Indian visitors attending Analytica Anacon India can reach the fair quickly from all parts of the country.
Analytica Anacon India will occupy the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, a state-of-the-art trade-fair centre that meets international quality standards.
As an international trade fair for analysis, laboratory technology and the life sciences, Analytica Anacon India focuses on one of the industry's most important growth markets in Asia.
The fair has established itself as an important platform for international exhibitors who are looking for potential business opportunities in India and who want to present their products and solutions to Indian decision-makers and cooperation partners.
It is positioned on the Indian continent as an exhibition that showcases the entire range of solutions for chemical and biotechnology laboratories in the industrial, research and scientific sectors, covering the entire value-added chain - from sample collection and preparation to efficient analysis using all modern and common analysis techniques and the interpretation and documentation of results.
Gathering for market leaders from around the world International market leaders in the analysis and laboratory-technology sector appreciate Analytica Anacon India's complete and compact exhibition profile and have already confirmed their plans to exhibit at the fair this autumn.
Hans-Joachim Heusler, managing director at Munich International Trade Fairs, expects the fair to be a complete success.
"The fourth Analytica Anacon India has continued to evolve into a global exhibition where the latest developments and trends for laboratories in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, medicine, food and the environment can be seen".
The head of Analytica Anacon India continues: "The special focus of this year's fair is the rapidly growing Indian biotech industry: the number of biotech companies that do business in India, currently some 300, is expected to more than double during the next few years".
International cutting-edge research for Indian laboratories.
How the latest analysis techniques support research work in Indian laboratories and can help the Indian industry to grow will also be the topic of the Analytica Anacon conference.
The motto of this year's conference is analytical instrumentation - enabling technologies for pharmaceutical and life sciences, and international scientists and researchers from the industry will hold lectures on state-of-the-art analysis techniques.
The Analytica Anacon conference, which is organised by the Indian Analytical Instruments Association (IAIA), will traditionally accompany the exhibition on all three days.
In the world market, India now holds one of the top positions when it comes to demand for superior-quality high-tech analysis and laboratory-technology equipment such as microanalysis or image analysis.
And demand is expected to increase: the country is consistently expanding its position as an attractive location for contract research, which involves increasing research capacities in Indian laboratories.
For this reason, the market for analysis solutions, which is currently estimated to be worth some 20 billion rupees, is expected to grow at a rate of between 15 and 20 percent during the next few years.
Above all, customers include laboratories in the pharma and biotech sectors, clinical research, environmental protection and universities as well as in nuclear and materials research.
An enormous push is expected between now and 2010, especially in biotechnology and the life sciences: according to India's Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham), the Indian biotech industry generated US£1.5bn (approx euro1.1billion) in sales last year.
Sales in this branch of industry are expected to reach $5bn by 2010.
