Discover the Italian market
with Made in Steel
MADE in Steel is a conference and
exhibition for the steel industry, to be
held in Milan, Italy, 3-5 April 2013. This
will be the fifth time the event has been
staged.
The event, which is supported by
Centro Inox, aims at distinguishing
itself from traditional fairs thanks to
its formula hinged on two elements:
“conference and exhibition”. In addition
to the business opportunities offered
by the presence of top level Italian and
international exhibitors and visitors, a
full agenda of conferences, debates,
workshops and panel discussions
makes Made in Steel an ideal place to
exchange knowledge and information.
This is accompanied by a constant
and on-going commitment towards the
internationalisation of the event, also
underlined by the partnerships signed
with the Italian Chambers of Commerce
in the United Arab Emirates, Brazil,
India, Turkey, Sweden and Germany,
and by those being finalised with Saudi
Arabia, Russia, Poland and Switzerland.
These agreements will give participants
the opportunity to hold important B2B
meetings, useful to get closely in
contact with the represented countries,
paving the way to valuable business
opportunities.
Made in Steel addresses the whole
steel industry, and involves the main
industries of users, including building,
transportation and power and utilities,
stimulating their requests and drawing
from them to innovate and receive
valuable contributions. This ‘bottom
up’ approach, which follows the
natural movement of information from
the ‘bottom’ to the ‘top’, represents
an innovative idea in the world of
exhibitions.
These features, together with
collaboration with Centro Inox, turn
Made in Steel into an event not to be
missed to get directly in contact with the
world that lives ‘from’ and ‘for’ steel, in
Italy, and further afield.
