Growing numbers for “H2O.” The International Water Exhibition, held recently in Bologna, recorded a 10% increase in visitor numbers as well as a rise in the number of exhibiting companies.
Organized by BolognaFiere and now in its 13th edition, the event is part of the SAIE platform—a network of exhibitions (also including Expotunnel, Ambiente Lavoro, Smart City Conference, and SAIE3) representing the entire construction supply chain across all its areas of specialization.
Overall, “SAIE 2016” concluded with a significant rise in attendance (+10%), drawing over 50,000 visitors and approximately 1,000 exhibitors across the entire platform. “H2O 2016,” specifically, featured 329 exhibitors occupying an area of around 15,000 square meters; hosted 77 conferences and workshops with a total of 430 high-level speakers; and welcomed foreign buyers from five countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Turkey).
The next edition is scheduled for 2018.
