Advantages of collective participation

Acimac offers companies a turnkey service for trade fair participation.
This involves collective participation in an Italian pavilion, where companies are hosted in high-quality stands with a coordinated and visually striking design.


In some cases, trade fair participation is organised with the support and funding of the Italian Trade Agency ITA.

  5. A single supplier in the form of the Association's service company or the Italian Trade Agency ITA
  6. Payment does not need to be made until shortly before the start of the exhibition
  7. Communication activities

Services and benefits during the trade fair:

  1. Support for exhibitor companies.
  2. Interpreters are provided by the Italian Trade Agency ITA.
