CDRinfo presents its exclusive report on the CeBIT 2006 exhibition in Hannover, the world's biggest high-tech fair, that wrapped up on Wednesday.
CeBIT 2006 was held under the "Digital Solutions for Work & Life" banner. Organizers said about 450,000 people attended the seven-day event in the northern German city of Hanover this year, some 25,000 fewer than in 2005, which they attributed to unseasonably cold weather.
About one-third of the visitors came from abroad, with a major boost of about 30 percent seen among guests from North America. The show traditionally attracts sector professionals rather than average consumers.
