Canadian systems on exhibit at trade show in Germany

Canada will be well represented at next month’s Geotechnica trade show for geosciences and technology in Cologne, Germany.

The country will, in fact, be the second-largest foreign exhibitor, with more than 20 Canadian firms and agencies on view. Also, several academics from this country have been invited to lecture.

Canada is a leader in exploration and remote-sensing systems and tools. The first such show, in 1991, generated $18-20 million in followup sales for Canadian exhibitors, according to the ProFairs travel consortium. About 500 exhibitors from 14 countries will attend the event, May 5-8. On display will be information-gathering and cartographical systems, including those used for collecting data from space via satellite.
