The main themes on which the Riva fair is based are internationality, sustainability and innovation. Through all these avenues, the aim is to consolidate and expand business opportunities, foster trade and develop the sector. For years, internal events have been organised at the fair aimed precisely at fostering relations and knowledge on these topics, as well as sharing information, training and know-how. Imagine that Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags is not just a place and time for exhibitors and buyers to meet, but a global sounding board. The players and protagonists of the industry who are here come from all over the world, bring with them their experience and bring their expertise to the table.
