FIRA DE BARCELONA
| 2013 REPORT
While we are starting to glimpse the positive
symptoms of a change in tendency in our
country’s economy, the truth is that 2013 has
been a difficult year.
In these circumstances, Fira de Barcelona has
achieved very positive results, which reveal good
management, the accomplishment of clear goals
to support SMEs and entrepreneurs in our city,
and a firm contribution to the invigoration of
Barcelona and its metropolitan area. Revenues
reached 117 million euros, a substantially higher
figure than the initial estimates.
Over 2013, a great number of shows, congresses
and events took place, of capital importance
to the city and to Catalonia as a whole, which
reinforced Fira as a major economical platform
in Europe. This intense activity reveals the
significance and strength of Barcelona as an
international reference, in areas as diverse as
technology, industry, innovation, design and
activities with high added value.
A great European
platform
