MADE EXPO 2019 IN MILAN-ITALY, 13-16 MARCH: STRENGTHENING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Italy’s most important trade event for the world of construction and architecture will be held at the Milan‐Rho Fiera from March 13th to 16th 2019. The ninth edition of MADE expo was presented in Milan, confirming it as Italy’s most important event for creating dialogues and business interaction between the various members and components of the building sector; over 900 exhibitors, with a broad representation of the excellence currently available in the world of construction, architecture and interior design, and more than one hundred thousand professional visitors expected from Italy and abroad. "Building connections. The quality of living between design, production and markets" is the title of the presentation event and it expresses the intention of MADE expo to strengthen the links between companies, industry associations, professions, Universities and the national territory in order to contribute to the relaunching of the construction industry at a complex moment in time and with particular attention paid to the international promotion of the “Made in Italy” concept in collaboration with the ICE Agency. In particular, MADE expo aims to promote a common and shared industrial front able to bring materials and solutions to the attention of prescribers and buyers but also positions and shared proposals to the attention of institutions and public administrations in order to put a strategic sector for the national economy into motion. The event is guaranteed to be highly significant for professional operators and the entire sector thanks to the multi‐specialized conformation that offers 4 specially themed and designed Halls (MADE Construction and Materials, MADE Building Envelope and Windows, MADE Interior and Finishes, MADE Software, Technologies and Services). The themes at the heart of MADE expo are highly relevant and right up to date. The main topic, “Quality of Living” is expressed through focusing on urban and infrastructural regeneration and looking at comfort, safety, sustainability and innovation. The impact of the digital evolution on the sector will have a dedicated focus but it will also be a great cross-sectional component of the whole event. Materials, solutions and systems for design, construction and buildings, the complete doors, window frames and casing system sector, along with outdoor solutions and light screens and the world of finishes and interiors will all be ready to welcome visitors with their latest news and features. For this specialized audience MADE expo is also a meeting place representing common ground between design and production and innovative and high quality training thanks to the contribution of an extensive programme found at BuildSMART, an “event in the event” that welcomes many of the leading sector players and which will host the inaugural conference with top‐level political and institutional representatives. Within BuildSMART will be held the WOOD FORUM 2019 too, which aims to bring to light the state of the art in the design and construction of wooden buildings, involving actors of international standing.
There will also be features dedicated to interior design such as the exclusive Elle Decor Design Box exhibition and the world of doors and windows with the Fixtures and Fittings Forum while the Archmarathon Selections design competition is aimed at the world of architecture. "We are particularly pleased to have at MADE expo 2019, both among the companies and among the Federations, a broad representation from the Italian construction sector and a full representation of all types of materials. This year we will also have Associations from the worlds of cement and concrete with us and leading companies from this sector. In this way we will really be able to play a role as an accelerator of ideas and a driving force for relationships that will allow us to enhance the importance of our industry for the national economy", said Massimo Buccilli, President of MADE expo.
