Happy Business To You, the first trade fair dedicated to Contract Made in Italy, on the side of 13th Architecture Biennale Di Venezia

The mission of Happy Business To You, a trade fair dedicated to the contract industry, is renewed by its support of the 13th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia. The important sponsorship initiative was created in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce of Pordenone.

Happy Business To You International Contract Fair (scheduled 13-16 February 2013 and organized by Pordenone Fiere Spa) has an absolutely unique and special feature: it is completely dedicated to the meeting between supply and demand in fields like ” turn-key ” supply which, despite the global crisis, is in constant expansion, involving specific projects and major orders in the Residential, Large Community, Hospitality (Hotel, Cafe, Restaurant) and Naval sectors.

Thanks to a strategic geographical position that puts the exhibition in the heart of the furniture manufacturing districts, Happy Business To You is able - as overwhelmingly positive data from last year's edition shows - to create new business opportunities for exhibitors (carefully selected from the best Italian brands in the furniture sector), international buyers, national and foreign architectural studios and the world's top contractors. For the duration of the fair, “Open Factories” allows participants to visit companies, know them inside their own walls and discover where and how real Made in Italy is born.

In addition to having understood the demands of the sector, the last edition of Happy Business To You achieved truly excellent results in the number of participating exhibitors (all strictly Italian) and the number of visitors and buyers from over 40 different countries.

“Given the solid foundation laid with the first edition, we are working with the Chamber of Commerce of Pordenone and other institutions in the area,” said Alessandro Zanetti, managing director of Pordenone Fiere, “so that, with time, Happy Business To You will become an international event of reference in the field of design contract, and encourage meeting between the excellence of Italian industry, and designers and contractors worldwide. This partnership agreement with the 13th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia is an important goal that we had set for ourselves.”
