The venue, India Exposition Mart (IEML), Greater Noida, Delhi-NCR, will be hosting the event for the first time.

India is the fastest growing economy in the world today – an impressive position it has held since the year 2015. Our theme for this year at ACREX India 2017, Rising India: Enterprising and Cool, is directly linked to the growing economy of India, laying emphasis on how welcoming a country can be.

“India is currently one of the favourites of the major international players. The world views our country as an engine for growth for their business,” said Mr. Ashish Rakheja, Chairman, ACREX India 2017. He added, “There is a greater focus on energy efficiency and end consumers, skilled workers and installers all consider there will be more and more need for energy-saving technologies. There is growth in all areas – Hospitals, Retail, Industry, Infrastructure and Commercial development zones – which offer incentives for central industrial plant businesses. The Refrigeration industry is also enjoying continued growth. All of this offers the ideal conditions to make ACREX India 2017 a success”.

Focus on MSMEs

The intention is also to give small and medium-sized enterprises better opportunities to participate in the trade show. Special packages have been developed for them, including an exhibition area of 6-9 m² with a Hostess provided, along with Airport transfers, Hotel accommodation and tickets for important industry events as part of the trade show.
