However, it was also recorded as a successful one if the general world economy crisis is considered. The key word at the show was ‘Webciety’ which means web society, and the ‘Green IT’ exhibition zone was expanded by 5 times in comparison to that of last year because of the increased importance of the energy saving and environment.
CeBIT this year was good for small and medium IT ventures with power of technology rather that big business conglomerates, and because of the economic environment cost saving and the niche market were becoming an important trends in the business.
The CeBIT 2009 was ended with those small and medium enterprises activities to make the difficult situation changed to opportunistic the development of overseas market.
