(Miami, September 12, 2006) - The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast (IACC) announces the recent opening in its Miami office of the representative desk for the Southeast of Fiera Milano, the most important Italian trade show service provider and one of the largest worldwide.

The opening of Fiera Milano branch at the IACC, located in Downtown Miami, is of extreme significance for all Florida’s entrepreneurs actively involved in commercial relations with Europe and, in particular, with Italy. It will promote trade shows; organize business meetings and offer assistance to exhibitors and buyers with logistics, both in Florida and in Milano. The desk will be also an easy access information center for operators interested in participating in these events.

Fiera Milano S.p.a, a public company listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, manages exhibition space rentals and is directly involved in the organization of important trade events such as MiWine (wine), BuildUp (building machineries and supplies) and Milano Vende Moda (fashion).

“The agreement with Fiera Milano supports our goal of providing a strategic business platform to Florida’s entrepreneurs seeking to find partners in Europe,” said IACC’s President, Giampiero Di Persia. “This initiative shows the positive perception and growing interest of Italian economic and commercial players on the entire Southeast of the U.S.”

Every year, Fiera Milano hosts over 75 exhibitions, conferences and trade shows, most of them of international significance, attracting 30,000 exhibitors and 4.5 million visitors altogether.

Among the most famous and visited international trade shows are: MACEF (home accessories, glass and silverware); MICAM (footwear); MIPEL (leather goods); the International Furniture Exhibit (a must for interior designers); MIDO (eyewear) and SMAU (ICT and consumer electronics).

Founded in 1991, the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast (IACC) is a non-profit US corporation, officially recognized by the Italian Government, devoted to the fosterage of trade between Italy and the United States.

IACC is part of Assocamerestero, the International Association of Italian Chambers Abroad, a network of more than 70 Chambers in 40 countries with more than 25.000 businessmen and entrepreneurs members.

The Chamber works in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Miami in order to facilitate business relationships between Italy and the southeastern region of the Unites States, and to promote locally the public image of Italian companies, by participating in various scientific cultural, economic and social events.
