City Networks, ProfitStars, SWIFT Germany and Trace Financial

London and Frankfurt, 2^nd October, 2006 – Transduco, the specialist provider of cross-border business development services for companies operating across the English, French and German speaking financial services technology sectors today announced the first Transduco Pavilion at EBIF in Frankfurt from 14^th to 16^th November, 2006, supported by top financial services players.

This years’ participants include London based City Networks and Trace Financial, Dallas based ProfitStars and the German division of SWIFT, all of whom are actively pursuing cross border business expansion and in the case of SWIFT, assisting financial services technology buyers and sellers into the German market.

“SWIFT is very pleased to be supporting the Transduco Pavilion at EBIF.  We welcome the opportunity to participate in activities that support the growing technology market in Germany, and particularly to help bring together financial institutions needs and technology provider offerings.” said Christian Kothe, Managing Director, SWIFT Germany.

“Our success in our home market doesn’t necessarily mean that we can apply the same sales strategy and approach to new markets. The Transduco Pavilion is an excellent concept for a company like ProfitStars that is based in the United States.  We feel we can totally rely upon Stefan and his team to ensure our organisation has the best possible opportunity to create awareness and attract interest to our product offerings and importantly we have the local language assistance if needed.” Comments Steve Tomson, National Sales Director, ProfitStars.

The Transduco Pavilion is the brain child of Stefan Mies, Founder and Managing Director of Transduco.  He comments, “after 20 years working in the technology sector and specifically the financial services market, we are well aware of the challenges facing companies who wish to expand their businesses into the markets where the language, culture and business environments are different to their own.  The purpose of our company is to help new and existing market entrants to take full advantage of the business opportunities in the German speaking marketplace and make effective use of their business development budgets.  The Transduco Pavilion offers a cost effective solution for these companies to have a prime position at EBIF and full exhibition support.”   

Stefan Mies adds “We are very pleased to have received such great support for our innovative new Transduco Pavilion designed for EBIF.  Our approach will ensure clients have excellent booth positioning, reduced costs due to sharing of space and full support from our team during the event.  Our “start to finish” approach takes the risk and stress away from our clients, allowing them to focus on what they do best whilst we handle everything from design to delivery of a first class exhibition space.  We look forward to EBIF being a great success and working with our clients again for other major industry events and tradeshows.”
