"The partnership between these two industrial nations is testimony to
Europe's strength. As well as being home to their fair share of global IT
players, the UK and Germany each have a very healthy IT startup scene. The
closer cooperation envisaged by the Partner Country concept harbors major
commercial potential for both countries," commented Oliver Frese, the
Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of CeBIT.
This view was echoed by BITKOM President Dieter Kempf: "The UK is the second-largest ICT market in Europe after Germany. The networking and dialogue opportunities at next year's CeBIT will be of enormous benefit to exhibitors. For small and medium businesses in particular, the fair is an affordable, highly effective means of forging key international contacts."
The German-British IT Summit on 10 March, the opening day of CeBIT, will be attended by high-ranking government leaders from both countries.

UK ICT market in growth mode
Despite a difficult economic climate, Britain’s IT and telecommunications
sector has enjoyed moderate but steady growth in revenues over the past few
years. EITO (European Information Technology Observatory) is predicting the
sector to grow its revenues by 2 percent to around 128 billion euros in 2013 on
the back of growing demand for tablet computers and smartphones and increased
investment in software and mobile infrastructure.
