Editorial Using international cooperations Dear readers, German companies represent leading technologies and specialist knowledge in many different disciplines around the world. They are used not only in their own country, but also help, e.g., to master the economic and social challenges of the future in emerging countries. They support infrastructure projects and sustainably promote industrialisation – optimistically viewed. The figures alone show that the demand in new technologies is immense: about 42 % of the global population live in the BRICS-states of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. In this issue, we want to focus on the “think tank” India. Estimates from the German-Indian chamber of commerce suggest that more than 2,500 German companies are active or represented in India. Even though the country fights a continuing downward economic trend, the market size and the demographic structure with its high share of young people gives reason to be optimistic for investments in the future. The German company Beckhoff has been present in India for many years with PC-based automation techniques. German Lapp group, a leading provider of cable and connection technology, also maintains a close relationship with India. The company entered the Indian market in the mid-1990s and is now producing in two sites. One thing is certain: the demand for consumer goods, better energy supply and mobility will continue to increase. Industrialisation will continue to pick up speed, and with it the demand for high-quality components, machines and plants will increase. The World of Industry INDIA 2014 trade fair in New Delhi from 10 – 13 December 2014 is a good opportunity to learn about new developments, to ask questions and to engage in exchange. There will be demonstrating complete range of products and services, from Hydraulics to Electro-Mechanical Transmission, automation components to process and factory automation systems to logistics infrastructure systems. Be inspired by the diversity of automation. Yours, Nicole Steinicke, Editor, Automation Technologies Thomas Labendsch, Project Director, Hannover Fairs International AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES 5/2014
