(3) There will be 100 Australian companies and Commonwealth Government

Departments exhibiting at CeBIT95. Nine of the companies are from the ACT

and the 7 Commonwealth Government Departments attending are

headquartered in the ACT.

The ACT, along with the other States will have exhibitions on the Australian

Stands promoting business and investment opportunities. These stands will be

staffed for the duration of the Fair.

Each of the States has been asked to conduct two seminars or presentations as

part of a series of Investment Promotion Forums.

(4 & 5) Senior representation from Economic Development Division will attend

CeBIT95. Their role will be to assist ACT companies exhibiting at CeBIT,

promote the ACT as a business and investment destination, to staff the ACT

stand and be involved in seminar presentations to the advanced technology

sector.

The representation has yet to be determined, but would involve skills in

marketing and promoting the ACT, working with the private sector and

knowledge of ACT industry and government.

I will keep you informed as the program develops.
