T of the trade fair entity. A adaptation, currently kept alive with the start of a digitalisation process for the activity and the business.

5 Thus, amidst a collaboration climate, the Fair has managed to become a space in which competing companies present their new products with total transparency. This is the great proof that a fair is the best example of that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A space in which companies share their possibilities for business, national and international promotion, in a climate of transparency and trust. The city of Valencia conceived the Fair a hundred years ago and it has played a fundamental role in the development of the entity and its activity.

17 32 33 a venue for big events

18 A venue for big events The experience gained in the management of our own events, makes Feria Valencia the best partner for big event organisers." The exceptional facilities of Feria Valencia put the city on the map of major events. Over the past few years, these facilities allowed the arrival in the city of conventions such as the EU PVSEC, the most important photovoltaic energy congress in Europe, that gathered 60,000 attendees, the vast majority from foreign countries. An event similar in size to the largest ones being currently held in the world. T with premises such as the ones of Feria Valencia. A space with capacity to accommodate a wide range of shows, equipped with 21st-century technology to handle this type of events, and with a staff expert in the staging of the most complex exhibition events. The experience gained in the management of F ner for big event organisers. For these reasons, Feria Valencia has been an essential place for international presentations, new models of major vehicle brands, conventions of European trade networks for sports equipment multinational companies, large professional conferences involving the arrival of more than 3,000 participants from all over the world. These are events of great economic interest for the city because visitors are largely from foreign countries, with a high purchasing power.

19 the demand and its international nature 36 37

20 38 D Visitors from more than 150 countries attend Feria Valencia s own events each year. Over time, the importance of the trade fair business has shifted from being exclusively focused on the exhibitor to being shared with the buyer. Supply and demand should be balanced and for this reason, Feria Valencia increasingly works to attract buyers. This internationalisation work started in the 50s and the arrival of the monographic fairs was also key. SMEs have always found an opportunity in the fair to reach new markets. As such, the Fair engages the demand and has the ability to attract purchasing decision makers in those markets to the city of Valencia. Company internationalisation and its deployment in foreign markets has been confirmed as the best tool for growth and the best prevention before the cyclical crises affecting the world economy. In the internet era, Feria Valencia strengthens its role as a facilitator of internationalisation. 39 The capacity of Feria Valencia to attract foreign demand, as well as its capacity to promote their products at a global level, are two keys for the internationalisation of the Feria Valencia s clients.

23 sectoral relations 44 45

24 46 The fair was created in response to the need for promoting the productive fabric. An asymmetric need based on the sectors that require it. In this context, each sectoral organisation is key to determine these needs for promotion. In addition, the fair binds in its own business associations to defend its sectoral and territorial interests. Sectoral relations The relations of the fair with the sectoral organizations have another area of basic work. Great trade fair products are always planned and carried out in collaboration with the sectoral organisations representing the sector; organisations such as A ER ANIE E APA FE AI Feria Valencia also maintains a representation in the sectoral organisations of the trade fair sector. In fact, it has strong ties with other Spanish fair venues, venues at European level and also in the American continent. Firstly, at a national level, it is part of the Spanish Association of Fairs (AFE), an organization that brings together the main venues in Spain. 47 Ateval, Asfplant, AEF, Avep, Asfel, Aseban, Anffecc, Asepri, Fehv, APCV, AMC and ASEBEC. Public bodies such as the ICEX, IVACE or the Conselleria for Sustainable Economy, Productive Sectors, Trade and Labour are essential to successfully complete F Valencia was born 100 years ago as a result of the business initiative then grouped around the Guild Union. Now, a century later, the fair gets interweaved also At a European level, it participates in EMECA, the European Major Exhibition Centres Association, which is an exclusive club for the larger venues in Europe. In fact, to be part of this association it is necessary to have, at least, an area of 100,000 square meters. Feria Valencia is also present in America, as it is associated with AFI A I A of Fairs of America. Finally, Feria Valencia is a founding partner of UFI, Global Association of the Exhibition Industry. This organisation brings together, at a global level, all the members of the trade fair industry, from venues, to organisers and suppliers. into the business movement as a company that is directly associated to the Valencian Business Confederation, an organization representing companies from the Comunitat Valenciana.

26 Celebrating the centenary Daniel Orient and Susana Gisbert, at the presentation of Eixida Different moments of the celebration of Feria Valencia s centenary. The centenary of Feria Valencia held in 2017 was, in fact, the centenary of the modern fair activity in Spain. For this reason, on 10th of May 2017, exact- F Valencia, a great institutional act was held with the attendance of the king of Spain, representatives of the Spanish trade fair industry as a whole and the Valencian civil society. Feria Valencia made the most of this grant occasion, as it did one hundred years before, to look forward on two fundamental issues. T The technological advances seen in recent years are driving a global transformation of the world with an impact on all aspects of human industry. T these changes. And while it is true that the fair industry has returned to the path to recovery after the crisis suffered last decade, the changes imposed by the digital world are already affecting the business. Beyond the application of new technologies that fairs have always implemented, Feria Valencia wanted to start digitalising its business. With the collaboration of the accelerator Innsomnia, it launched a challenge in 2017 for start-ups to collaborate in the digitalisation of the fair business. T F line open with the objective of becoming a provider of on-line marketing. The fairs have always been the best marketing tool for small and medium-sized enterprises. And in the new on-line reality, they must get ready to keep being so in the digital world. On the occasion of the centenary, Feria Valencia also wanted to pay tribute to the society that supported it.

E T I tion focused on the situation of today's society, a state of apathy, in which it seems that the die is cast, and, therefore, whatever each of us may do has little relevance, when the truth is actually all the opposite. The second central issue is that future must be for all, otherwise there will be no future. This means that all the technological, health, labour, political progress must be aimed at reducing the gap between rich and poor. This is applicable to individuals, groups, provinces, autonomous regions, countries, continents
