Rimini Fairs and Exhibitions Centre

Rimini Fiera S.p.A, a key player on the Italian and international trade fair market, is a member of the AEFI Italian Trade Fairs and Exhibitions Association and E.M.E.C.A. (European Major Exhibition Centre Association). Founded in the post-war period to support the tourist trade (the first exhibitions of hotel equipment date back over half a century), in 2001 it inaugurated a new expo centre that is one of the most modern and avant-garde in Europe. In 2002, the Ente Autonomo Fiera di Rimini changed its name and corporate structure to Rimini Fiera SpA (joint stock Company) and in 2004 opened up its capital to private partners. The majority of the company capital is now held by public partners (Rimini Provincial Government, Municipality and Chamber of Commerce with equal shares) and the remaining 15% held by private partners.
