 Paptech Finland, held in Helsinki on March 21-22, gathered 35 exhibitors and a total of 457 visitors over the two day event period. The new event concept was well received by exhibitors and visitors.

- We are pleased about the organisation of the event and about the way it looked, says Marcus Bergström, CEO of Adforum, organisers of the event. - The concept was also well received by our exhibitors who appreciated the simplicity of participating. By offering complete stand packages at a reasonable price, exhibitors were just able to show up with their marketing materials and start networking.
- Of course we had hoped for some more visitors, Bergström continues, but we think that most exhibitors had a decent amount of qualitative meetings with existing and new potential clients.
- The idea behind the event was in my opinion brilliant, as the thought was to make for example the opening of conversations easier, says Heikki Mustalahti, Managing Director of ACA Systems Oy, who exhibited at Paptech Finland 2012. - I hope that more paper makers would attend the next Paptech, Mustalahti continues.

Paptech Finland was developed as a new meeting concept for the pulp and paper industry, enabling easy and cost effective meetings between suppliers and buyers. This two-day forum included informative seminars, an exclusive Gala Dinner, match-making areas and opportunities to catch up with colleagues over a cup of coffee. Paptech was developed as regional meeting place for the Finnish market in order to fill the gap between the two large PulPaper exhibitions, held in 2010 and 2014.

Paptech Finland was organised by Adforum with official support from PI, the Paper Engineers’ Association.

The next major international pulp and paper event held in Scandinavia will be PulPaper 2014, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of PI, the Paper Engineer's Association. Some 600 exhibitors and 12000 visitors are once again expected to participate in this world-class event.   

Paptech plays an important role as a regional meeting place for the Finnish pulp and paper market between the large, international exhibitions.

Adforum, the world leading organiser of trade fairs for the pulp and paper industry, is introducing a brand new event for the Finnish pulp and paper industry: Paptech 2012. The first edition of Paptech will be arranged in Helsinki, March 21-22, 2012.The event is based on a totally new meeting concept, enabling easy and cost effective meetings between suppliers and buyers within the pulp and paper industry. Key words for Paptech are intimate, targeted and business-oriented.

The new concept makes Paptech a versatile event. This is a two-day forum where suppliers and buyers meet and do business in a relaxed atmosphere. Participants will be inspired by product presentations, catch up with colleagues over a cup of coffee, meet new and existing suppliers, listen to talks in the Speaker’s Corner, enjoy themselves at the Gala Dinner and mingle in the hotel’s special Paptech bar until late at night. There will be informative seminars, cafés and match-making areas. The entire industry will be gathered in one place. “The design of the venue is all about creating a social scene which stimulates business”, says Marcus Bergström, Vice President at Adforum.

All-inclusive turn key stand packages will ensure that the exhibitor can focus on one thing: doing business. “The new concept entails many advantages”, says Bergström. “Exhibitors are offered a time-saving and cost effective way of participating. They just need to show up and be ready to do business, as all the practical details are taken care of. For the amount of a traditional advertisement in magazine, the companies will meet targeted companies from the industry.”

Another important feature of the new concept is to attract the right visitors. Adforum will together with important trade partners make sure that all the key players of the industry attend Paptech 2012.  The aim is for this event to be a stimulating and high quality meeting place for the Finnish paper industry.

Paptech will play a significant role for the Finnish pulp and paper industry. As the next international PulPaper will be arranged in 2014, Paptech will act as a regional meeting place for the Finnish market between the large, international exhibitions. “Companies have shown a lot of interest in Paptech, which clearly indicates that there is a need for this type of event”, says Bergström.
