The 2009 edition of IBC Amsterdam took place from the 10th to the 15th of September. The event is dedicated to the media industry composed of a conference followed by a fair where firms can exhibit and promote their latest products.

An important delegation of Israeli firms took part in the event, exploiting this opportunity to show their state-of-the-art solutions dedicated to the media industry.

The Israeli team was coordinated by the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute. At the following link: http://innovations-ibc2009.com/ one can find a website which offers an overview of the operations of Israeli firms in this sector and a short description of the members of the delegation.
