The SAIE trade fair in Bologna is fully booked. The organisers claim that this event, which will be held for the 40th time from 13 to 17 October, is set to outstrip the results of last year’s fair. They amounted to attendance figures of 1 850 exhibitors and 170 542 visitors. The fair this coming October will have an exhibition area extended by 28 000 m² for an overall total of 220 000 m².
