Thomas Stenzel, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf Moscow, commented on the successful start of the trade fair: "NEFTEGAZ and the National Oil and Gas Forum are a key event for the industry. The fact that the Russian business is now picking up speed again in the midst of the Corona pandemic makes the twentieth edition of NEFTEGAZ a very special one. Despite the difficult travel conditions, we were able to welcome 2,900 registered trade visitors on the very first day of the fair in Moscow! This was made possible by a well thought-out safety and hygiene concept. And of course, above all, thanks to the numerous innovations of our approximately 450 exhibitors from 23 countries, who will present their products and solutions to a broad trade audience today and in the coming days."
