Fiera di Vicenza launches trade show in Dubai
Fiera di Vicenza S.p.A, the company that operates VicenzaOro, and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) will premiere a new international jewelry tradeshow in Dubai next year.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates--Fiera di Vicenza S.p.A, the company that operates VicenzaOro, and the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) will premiere a new international jewelry tradeshow in Dubai next year.
The first Vicenzaoro Dubai, operated by the joint venture DV Global Link, is scheduled for April 23-26, 2015.
According to show organizers, launching the show in Dubai comes as a strategic move in Fiera di Vicenza’s global expansion plan.
The company also said that Dubai is ready for the show because the United Arab Emirates is a country with “high potential,” which has increased its demand for Italian luxury products in recent years.
“The agreement reached with DWTC to launch Vicenzaoro Dubai is a decisive turning point in our company’s internationalization strategy and defines a systemic union that is not just economically highly valuable, but also for its cultural interconnection with a very prestigious partner,” said Matteo Marzotto, president of Fiera di Vicenza.

Fiera di Vicenza also organizes the VicenzaOro tradeshows held in Italy three times a year. The news of Vicenza Dubai was announced during the spring show, which ended Tuesday.
Earlier this year, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre and India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council also launched a new show in Dubai, this one featuring more than 130 exhibitors.
