We are one of Italy’s leading exhibition organizers and the country’s major revenue earner for international events and services. Our strong domestic position is the result of our long-standing presence across the entire exhibition and event value chain.
Internationalization, diversification, sustainability, and strong local roots are the key pillars of BolognaFiere Group. From the outset, we have promoted opportunities for meeting, exchange, and growth among cultures and industries, both nationally and internationally.
