The 36th edition of the Grande Foire d’Été de Cuneo, of which the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Nice is a partner, will take place this year from Thursday, August 25, to Sunday, September 4, at the MIAC in Cuneo.
Building on the success of the exhibitors and the public recorded during the 2010 edition, the event aims this year to enhance its status as a “National Fair” by offering even more quality to those who visit.
The major success achieved during the previous edition is undoubtedly the foundation of this ongoing development process. Indeed, apart from the significant growth in the overall commercial offering’s quality, the number of visitors increased by 6% in 2010 compared to the previous year. Most visitors are from Cuneo and Piedmont, with an increasing number from other regions of Italy and the Alpes-Maritimes.
The objective of the 2011 edition of the Grande Foire d’Été, committed to establishing itself as a “National Fair,” is therefore unmistakably to continuously improve the quality standards of the event. Visitors benefit from an undeniably high-quality commercial offering to promote a prestigious image of the Piedmont territory.
The City of Cuneo, in turn, benefits from an increasingly unmissable event for the general public. Thus, around this quality of commercial offering, other aspects of the fair (shows, entertainment, conferences, dining, etc.) take shape.
Sectors represented
The two main sectors of the Grande Foire d’Été are:
– Furniture for the home and business, a strong point of the Grande Foire d’Été for several years, with 7,500m² dedicated to this sector;
– Technology, the most innovative solutions in all sectors for individuals as well as professionals offered by exhibitors in the 9,000m² Tekno pavilion
In addition to these flagship domains, there are major local institutions, the agri-food sector, health and wellness, as well as a wide variety of objects. In the outdoor areas, cars and large products will be presented.
The presence of the Côte d’Azur
For the past 5 years, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Nice has organized a collective participation of French institutions and companies to promote the Côte d’Azur to the public and professionals present at the GFE and to highlight investment opportunities in the Alpes-Maritimes.
For this edition, the cities of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Grasse, Saint Laurent-du-Var, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vence, Villeneuve-Loubet, Nice, as well as the Nice Côte d’Azur Urban Community, will be present on a 30 m² stand, strategically placed at the entrance of the fair.
Experimenta
The big novelty of the thirty-sixth edition of the GFE will be the presence of the Piedmont Region through the traveling exhibition Experimenta, an extraordinary space entirely dedicated to science and sports.
