The new centre, with capacity for up to
6,000 people, will bolster Salzburg’s posi-

industry. “We wanted to create a modern
infrastructure so that Salzburg could remain
a comp0etitive exhibition venue”, Daniel
Brenner, the vice-governor of the province
of Salzburg said. He also highlighted that
this new infrastructure would be a major
boost for the local economy.
The steel structure that covers the pavilion
weighs 1,200 tons. More than 350 km of
cables were installed and about 200 one-
family homes could fit just in the exhibition
area. Worth 34 million Euros, Salzburg’s
“Pavilion 10” is one of the largest inves-
tments ever made by the entity since its
founding. The completed steel and glass
building was presented to the public at a
press conference on 10 August of this year.
