With WorldSkills Leipzig 2013 now just over a year and a half a way, Claus Andresen, Chief Executive talks about their plans.

“This is a very exciting time for us as we start to shape up the 42nd WorldSkills Competition. We are delighted to have secured The Leipzig Trade Fair as the venue for the event and are confident that it will be an outstanding place to hold the Competition and surrounding activities. Newly built in 1996, with over 100,000 m2 in size and 70,000 m2 outside, the venue is considered as one of the most attractive event venues in Europe and the entrance hall built by the British star architect Ian Ritchie has became a landmark.”
