event. International companies made up about one-third of the exhibitors, with Austria, Belgium,
France and Germany represented by national pavilions.As of press time, show organizers have
confirmed that the German pavilion, organized by the Central Confederation of the German Textile
and Clothing Industry and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, will
return to Cinte Techtextil China 2004.According to Messe Frankfurt, China has been the top
investment country for the German textile industry two years in a row. The importance of the
Chinese market to the German industry can be seen in the cooperation agreement signed in August
2003 between the Confederation of the German Textile and Fashion Industry, the China National
Textile Industry Council (CNTIC) and Chinas Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles
(CCCT).

September 2 at the Shanghai International Trade Centre, adjacent to the show.According to Messe
Frankfurt, the symposium will focus on five themes: the present status of technical textiles and
development; building technology; agricultural technology; transportation technology; and medical
and protective technology.Additionally, in light of the growing use of membrane structures in
constructions across China there are more than 2 billion square meters in use now, and the number
is expected to grow by 30 percent annually the China Textile International Exchange Centre
(CTIEC) will hold the International Conference on Fiber-Reinforced Membrane Technology and
Structure during the symposium. The conference will focus on the application and development of
