Welcome to our 12th edition of our
newsletter timed to be available for the
matchmaking event which takes place at R+T
International fair from February 27th -

This is the fifth year that the Enterprise
Europe Network is organising an
International Brokerage Event during the R+T
International fair.

R+T
R+T is the leading international fair for
roller shutters, doors/gates and sun
protection systems. All important
international companies are represented
here: from exterior Venetian blinds to
awning control systems, from fire protection
doors and gates to security equipment. The
previous R+T fair was organized in 2015 and
the numbers impressively confirmed its
position as a leading world trade fair. 888
exhibitors from all corners of the world
(2012: 816) showcased themselves and their
products and services in 2015 in Stuttgart,
resulting in an increase of foreign
exhibitors compared to 2012 from 66 to 73
percent. In addition to the big exhibitor
countries such as Italy, France and the
Netherlands, new countries such as Ireland,
Latvia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates
and Romania were also represented in 2015.
The 59,057 visitors also came from all
corners of the globe: They travelled from
131 countries. A total of 54 percent of the
visitors came from abroad, 79 percent of
them from Europe.
It is exected that the 2018 R+T fair will
surpass the number of exhibitors and
visitors of the previous edition and thus it
is expected that the B2B will also be
significantly enhanced in mumbers and
quality of meetings. The event will offer
the exhibitors and visitors of R+T Stuttgart
the opportunity to find new customers,
suppliers and cooperation partners, present
themselves to visitors and exhibitors in the
online catalogue, select the profiles of
other participants before the event and meet
them during the fair.

Cité du Centenaire: energy retrofit and
neighborhood urban renewal
The energy renovation of 48 apartments
in a social housing estate in
Montignies-sur-Sambre (Belgium) forms part
of the global neighborhood rehabilitation
project of "La cité du Centenaire" which is
located in the city of Charleroi on the
easterly peripheral. This housing estate was
designed by the architect Victor Bourgeois
in 1957 and was based on the model of a
garden city, but over the last decades it
had become impoverished and the natural
landscape blighted. The area in its original
state was comprised of 7 identical buildings
each having 4 stories and containing 12
apartments; totaling 84 residential units.
There were also two parking structures with
15 garages each.

LINKS TO OTHER SGS

Cooperation with SG Energy was quite
fruitful during 2017. A tangible result of
such cooperation was the workshop “Europe’s
resource efficiency and clean energy to
sustaining SME green economy” co-organised
during the annual conference in Tallinn on
20th November 2017 along with SG Energy.
This collaboration will continue with the
preparation of a good practice related to
the workshop and the relevant questionnaire
prepared and distributed among the members
of the sector groups.
Other cooperation activities regarded
exchange of information between some members
of the two SGs, especially as far as partner
search and potential participation in
projects, initiatives or events is
concerned.
