Sicily is historically central to the Mediterranean, strategically located at the crossroads of three continents and their associated economic and communication flows. More recently, the Sicilian Region's "Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation 2021-27 - S3 Sicily" has played a major role in identifying innovation areas and priority technology sectors, and in steering public investment in research and innovation. S3 Sicily takes a bottom-up approach that supports the smart, sustainable and inclusive development of the regional industrial ecosystem. The S3 strategy aims to foster market opportunities for new interregional value chains and European intergovernmental linkages, and to improve the technology transfer system to stimulate economic growth. The event will take place from 17 to 20 September.
The "MediEdil Construction Fair" is a civil and industrial construction exhibition organised every year in Palermo since 2017 by Mediexpo srl, a company with more than 25 years of experience in communication, marketing and event management in Sicily. In 2024, another satellite event will be organised, with B2B and pitch presentations, with the participation of international stakeholders. The aim of the exhibition is to support and promote the construction sector in Sicily. This event will serve as a reference event for Sicilian companies and operators, as well as an opportunity for business growth and international market access. During the Expo, industry experts, institutions and professional associations will organise seminars, workshops and training events. In addition, manufacturing companies will present a full sampling of industry innovations, materials and construction solutions to professionals and companies. 2022, a satellite networking event was held with the collaboration of ICBUILD project partners, with the participation of Sicilian and European companies, where around 20 companies with local and B2B European clusters presented their construction products (For more information: https://mediedil.it/)
