ZOOMARK 2021 - Bolognafiere

 ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL 2021: ENTHUSIASM AND BUSINESS FOR THE PET CARE COMMUNITY THAT CAME TOGETHER IN BOLOGNA FOR THE ONLY INTERNATIONAL EVENT OF THE YEAR
Mission accomplished successfully for ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL 2021. A success in terms of exhibitor numbers with more than 450 exhibitors, 60% of who arrived from abroad from 44 different countries. 

A success in terms of international attendance because, in spite of the travel limitations on certain geographical areas imposed by the pandemic, foreign operators were among those taking centre stage at this edition of the event. A success in terms of business, which was lively and supported by an expanding market rich in innovations and, finally, a success because in just a few months, following the official green light for holding large scale trade events, BolognaFiere put back on track the only international event in 2021 for the pet care compartment, bringing forward the event by six months (from its initial scheduling in May 2022 due to the pandemic emergency).

Bologna, November 12, 2021 - ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL has reconfirmed its importance as a moment of reflection for the industry and an essential platform for strategic business planning, further consolidating its international position.

Welcoming national and international operators were more than 400 new products and a new functional exhibition layout in strict compliance with anti-Covid regulations, enabling exhibitors and operators to work intensively and in full safety.

“We worked intensely to organise this edition of the Exhibition,” explained Gianpiero Calzolari, President of BolognaFiere, “because we felt it was essential to offer the sector an opportunity to meet after the long interruption resulting from the pandemic. We would sincerely like to thank the reference associations, Assalco and ANMVI, for their cooperation, as well as the companies that believed in the success of the exhibition by confirming their participation, and the operators who came to Bologna from all over the world. The success of this edition is an incentive for us to achieve new goals and face new international challenges.” The statistics concerning the sector, presented through the 14th ASSALCO-ZOOMARK REPORT at the opening conference of the event, highlighted the growing trends regarding the need, and care, for pets, especially during the period of the health emergency that is still ongoing in Italy and worldwide. The Report, which analysed the market and the main socio-cultural trends in the Pet world in Italy, revealed that in the year ending June 2021 (data processed by IRI Information Resources) the market for dog and cat food products in Italy (Grocery Retail channel, Traditional Pet shops, Pet shop Chains, Grocery Retail own pet shops and general online retailers – Grocery Retail groups and Amazon) achieved a turnover of 2,431 million euros, an increase of +8%. The main distribution platforms (Grocery Retail, Traditional Pet shops, Pet shop Chains) achieved a turnover of 2,338.7 million euros, a positive trend of +6.4%. According to Euromonitor, there are an estimated 62 million pets in Italy, including almost 30 million fish, more than 16 million dogs and cats, about 13 million birds and more than 3.5 million small mammals and reptiles.

The 2021 edition has also invested in the programme of conventions and meetings focusing, among other things, on foreign markets, developed with partners such as Euromonitor and ICE-Agenzia. Thanks to digital technology, the fair also organised Zoomark Digital Session in the week leading up to the event, a platform for arranging meetings between exhibitors and international buyers, distributors and retailers in the specialised and Grocery Retail channels, facilitating business and supporting operators who, due to the pandemic, were unable to attend ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL 2021 in person.

During the three days of the exhibition, the new “Pet Vision” area especially for products launched on the market in the last eighteen months was also busy and well received. With 400 new products organised into seven market trends, the event highlighted the sector's propensity for innovation.
ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL 2021 is organised by BolognaFiere with the support of Assalco (the National Association of Pet Care and Pet Food Industries), ANMVI (the National Association of Italian Veterinary Doctors), the Emilia-Romagna regional administration and Promopet.

THE NEXT EDITION OF ZOOMARK INTERNATIONAL will take place at the Bologna Exhibition Centre in May 2023.

Marmo+Mac 2021

THE ITALIAN STONE THEATRE – TIME IN STONE

MARMOMAC PROMOTES EXPERIMENTATION AND INNOVATION TO CELEBRATE

THE RETURN OF THE EXHIBITION ATTENDED IN PERSON

 

August 2021 - Design, architecture and culture of natural stone have always characterized Marmomac, the leading international trade fair in this sector scheduled 29 September-2 October in Verona.

 

The 2021 edition boasts updated content and format in response to the need to resume doing business in person, while equally ensuring maximum safety in terms of Covid prevention measures thanks to the adoption of the Veronafiere Safetybusiness protocol.

The event programme highlights innovation and experimentation thanks to The Italian Stone Theatre - the by-now long-standing project where natural stone meets technology to embody new works and installations created by architects, designers and artists in collaboration with sector companies.

 

One of the main innovations for the 2021 edition is the evolution of Hall 1 into The Italian Stone Theatre - Time in Stone, with an original layout located in Halls 11 and 12 of the exhibition centre. The common denominator is Time, prompting thought about its symbolic and intrinsic value: what most distinguishes natural stone from artificial products is precisely Time, an intangible component embodied in stone by an indissoluble bond with the material itself. Telling the story of natural stone through time is one way of reclaiming the authenticity and solidity needed today so that mankind can rediscover itself alongside new creativity.

 

Exhibits are arranged around theme areas, such as design and architecture, art and experimentation in universities, and even involve important brands in the furniture industry. The Marmomac offering is also enhanced by experimental projects focusing on technology and innovation, while exhibition spaces evolve and transform to welcome visitors into an exploratory path responding to the needs of architects and designers, as well as those of technicians and distributors.

 

In the run-up to the September appointment, Marmomac has already activated a portal dedicated to natural stone professionals as a place providing access to every initiative linked with the event, including attendance in person at the main show. Marmomac Plus is a virtual showcase for the entire international market. It allows companies taking part to promote their products and projects, as well as present events and opportunities to meet other members of the leading natural stone community.

Fieragricola 2022 : New Digital and Agro-Energy Shows at Fieragricola

NEW DIGITAL AGRICULTURE AND AGRO-ENERGY SHOWS AT FIERAGRICOLA

Confirmation for the across-the-board format with mechanization, livestock, vineyard and orchard, green chemistry, renewable energy, conferences and training

Verona - 3 August 2021. The 115th edition of Fieragricola, the biennial exhibition scheduled in Verona 26-29 January 2022, takes up the challenge of sustainability and raises the bidding with two specific areas characterized by a high rate of innovation: the Digital Agriculture and the Agro-Energy shows expand an exhibition offering that makes Veronafiere’s international exhibition even more transversal and in line with the objectives of ecological transition, reduction of waste and environmental emissions, food security and food safety.
Inasmuch, the theme areas at Fieragricola 2022 will go beyond the show's already consolidated character - which sees the Verona Exhibition Centre bring together agricultural mechanization, livestock, high value-added production such as vineyards and orchards, pesticides, fertilizers, seeds and services for the primary sector - to range towards the new frontiers in the sector, which first of all require a new cultural paradigm, as clarified by global climate policies, the European Green Deal and the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2021-2027, which will come into force on 1 January 2023.
Digital agriculture. From drones to sensors, IoT solutions, systems for mapping land and crops, interconnection tools for machinery and agricultural vehicles and management software, opportunities for agriculture are constantly evolving in sector worth around 540 million euros in Italy (2020 figure, +20% on 2019) and more than 13.7 billion dollars worldwide.
New technologies are achieving high diffusion and growth rates, precisely because digitization ensures responses in terms of rational use of resources, reducing emissions (and meeting zero emission targets by 2050), transparency in production processes and the possibility of certifying each step along the supply chain. The benefits of Agriculture 4.0 will also impact employment, given demand for specialist professional figures capable of interpreting the big data collected by machines and precision agriculture tools.
Fieragricola, alongside the exhibition offering, will seek to direct visitors (farmers, sub-contractors, agricultural technicians, land surveyors, agronomists, veterinarians) towards the most appropriate solutions for various production models, not the least through meetings, conventions and analysis focusing on training. This show is organised in collaboration with Image Line, a leader in digital innovation for agriculture.
Agro-energy. The 115th Fieragricola also spotlights energy from renewable agriculture sources, an increasingly essential corollary tool the primary sector as a source of multifunctional income and as a strategy supporting the circular economy and the ecological transition.
In particular, Fieragricola will focus on two agro-energy segments that over the years have adapted best to the needs of Italian agricultural companies: Bio-gas and bio-methane, the most advanced segments for the exploitation of livestock sewage and agricultural waste, and agro-voltaic, the solution recommended in the past by the Georgofili Academy for the recovery of farmhouses and other rural property.
PNRR resources.  In addition to CAP funds (with almost 50 billion Euros assigned to Italy in the period 2021-2027), the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) also envisages resources for the green transition, digital transformation and agriculture, with special attention on the circular economy and sustainable agriculture; renewable energy, hydrogen, networking and sustainable mobility in relation to the development of agro-voltaics and bio-methane; protection of land and water resources;  tourism and 4.0 culture; social infrastructures, families, communities and the tertiary sector.
The new vision of agriculture at Fieragricola. There are many targets that agriculture must absolutely reach in order to respond to the needs of a growing world population that is expected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050: Increased output, food safety & security, improved yields, reduced environmental impact, the response to climate change, safeguarding water resources, efforts to counter abandonment of rural areas and hydro-geological instability, production quality and profitability of agricultural production chains.
The 115th Fieragricola will seek to provide solutions, means of interpretation and innovative tools capable of tackling of current changes thanks to conferences, workshops and debates organized with stakeholders in the sector, in efforts to define a wide-ranging vision without overlooking training ad business aspects.
