At present, foreign investors from over 80 different countries are due to attend the world's leading fair for technologies dedicated to the tile industry .
Rimini, September 15th - Tecna's international leadership in the world trade fair arena has once again been confirmed at the 2022 show by the presence of top foreign buyers, i.e. select new investors interested in acquiring the most innovative technologies available on the market.
Of the visitors attending Tecna 2022 (27 - 30 September) - organised by IEG (Italian Exhibition Group) in association with Acimac at the Rimini Expo Centre - over 40% of those who have pre-registered are from abroad, coming from over 80 countries. The high percentage of international traders attending the fair confirms the appeal of the new exhibition format, inherited from previous show Tecnargilla, which is proving to be a key event for gleaning insights into the technologies on the market and developing new business opportunities.
Once again this year, ICE-Agenzia has accepted Tecna's invitation to support and accompany the internationalisation of the fair, creating a highly profiled incoming buyer program in association with its Industrial Technologies, Energy, and Environment Office.
At the moment, tile manufacturers running into the hundreds, from 27 countries, will be attending to meet exhibiting companies. Visitors will be coming mostly from Latin America, followed by the MENA region, as well as Africa and South East Asia. There will also be businesses and people attending from the USA, India, Iran, and Europe (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, UK).
The online booking platform for the business meetings has seen a record level of enquiries and interest, which has even lead to the addition of extra appointments for exhibitor/visitor meetings.
In a historical phase in which technology and renewal are among the drivers of change, Tecna offers an international showcase for advanced technology where design, innovation, and automation are the underlying theme uniting the products on display.
