The Company
Fiera Bolzano S.p.A./Messe Bozen AG has positioned itself as an exhibition center locale for the entire Alpine region. In so doing, the Exhibition Center views itself as the single most important contact exchange between companies from the German-speaking world and Italy. The city of Bolzano can look back on a tradition of tradeshows and fairs that dates back for centuries. The first evidence of trade with other Italian and foreign Alpine regions goes back to the year 1070. The geographical position of the city and the bridge function between Northern and Southern Europe that it has taken on have always required good trade, economic, and cultural relations with neighboring lands. The first tradeshow of modern times – the Mustermesse, or Trade Fair – took place in Bolzano in 1948. Fiera Bolzano / Messe Bozen has been a joint-stock company since January 1, 2003. It organizes all important events under its own direction.
The extremely service-oriented tradeshow team handles the wishes of its customers in a very individual, rapid, and reliable manner:
