The organizer of the Fiera di Vicenza exhibitions is not going to slow down even in the extremely tough business environment. Many in the jewellery world consider the exhibition in Vicenza to be revolutionary in many sectors of the jewellery industry.
Fiera di Vicenza S.p.A. contributes to the organization of the exhibitions and fairs in Italy and abroad, as well as other events and meetings, to support the economic internationalization. Being a business centre, the Fiera di Vicenza group has also become a cultural center ensuring the promotion of the business image and presentation of the ‘Made in Italy’ goods internationally.
Despite the challenging and competitive market environment, Fiera di Vicenza has been showing positive results and a net profit of over EUR 1 million for the fourth year in a row.
Purpose
Fiera di Vicenza intends to fulfill its obligations towards its shareholders, clients and the parties concerned to interpret the changing business environment by means of foreseeing and providing quick solutions in all the areas and sectors where it is involved.
Positioning
The company is a leader in two fields: ‘Jewellery’ and ‘Lifestyle and Innovations’. Fiera di Vicenza hosts VicenzaOro standing exhibitions and is considered the most important exhibition centre in the world for the gold and jewellery manufacturing sectors.
Internationalization
Taking into account the shift in the global economy towards the USA, Asian-Pacific Region, the Middle East and the BRICS countries, Fiera di Vicenza took the decision to speed up its own internationalization process. In 2014, the company took part in the most important jewellery exhibitions worldwide promoting over 500 Italian companies on the international markets.
The international profile of the company was backed by the agreement on the setting up of a joint venture between Fiera di Vicenza and the Dubai World Trade Centre that was signed in May 2014, when the DV Global Link Company was founded. This agreement stipulates the co-operation in the organization of a new trade fair - VICENZAORO Dubai; its first edition will be on April 23 through 26, 2015. This exhibition will strengthen the status of Dubai as the indisputable capital of jewellery and luxury goods as well as the trading hub for the whole Middle East, Africa, Russia and the Central Asian and South-East Asian countries.
