Fira de Barcelona
Since its creation almost a hundred years ago, Fira Barcelona has grown steadily. Its splendid, historical site, which has undergone successive renovations and is adapted to all kinds of exhibits, occupies a surface area of 250,000 m2 and hosts 20,000 firms and 2,500,000 visitors representing all industrial and commercial sectors.
The more than 70 exhibitions are managed with a business approach and with a clear determination to project internationally, especially to European and Latin American markets. These factors were key for the European Union to appoint Fira Barcelona for developing business co-operation programmes among these markets.
The inauguration of the Gran Vía (M2) facilities, with a surface area of 111,500 m2, has contributed to the consolidation of Fira Barcelona as a basic instrument for the business progress of its exhibitors and visitors.
