Trade shows in Bologna have built a reputation on a handful of sectors and gone deep in each sector. Most of the exhibitors are companies that exhibit at these shows for many years because they see visible growth and business-leading opportunities. Therefore, Bologna exhibitions carry more weight than those in many cities.
The 5 upcoming exhibitions in Bologna in 2026-27 cover ceramics and design, agricultural machinery, cosmetics and pharmacy, and industrial refrigeration. There are the sectors where Italy genuinely leads globally. If you belong to any of these, you have to exhibit here. And to ease your participation, ExproGlobal is already here to support you as a top exhibition stand builder in Bologna.
