EXPOQUIMIA - Fira de Barcelona

The sixteenth edition of Expoquimia can be qualified as a success. The show exceeded its initial expectations and served as a catalyst for the sector. A considerable number of sales deals and business contacts were reported, thus helping to revitalise the chemicals sector, one of the few sectors with the potential to cope with the current economic situation.

More than 28,000 professional visitors, over 600 direct and indirect exhibitors, more than 200 new products, processes and manufacturing procedures… These figures underline the excellent results of Expoquimia 2011 and confirm its status as the leading event for the sector.

The next event will be held on 6–10 October 2014. We look forward to seeing you there.

Expoquimia hosted the closing ceremony of the International Year of Chemistry, instigated by the UN General Assembly to commemorate the centenary of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry awarded to Marie Curie in 1911.

Speakers from all over the world discussed issues such as the use of nanotechnology in healthcare, chemical processes used for improving the environment, the chemistry of materials, and sensorial chemistry.

Delegations from China, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina visited the show with the aim of showing the Spanish chemicals industry what they need.
