TIF-Helexpo is expecting immediate, visible results from the intensification of its contacts and the exploration of partnerships with Chinese exhibition organisers and enterprises interested in exporting to or investing in our country.

This was the culmination of the visit by the President of TIF-Helexpo, Mr Tassos Tzikas, and the CEO, Mr Kyriakos Pozrikidis, to Beijing and Shanghai, within the framework of the official government delegation accompanying the Prime Minister, who recently visited China.

More specifically, the meetings held with ten exhibition organisers from the Chinese state and private sector resulted in specific interest in the participation of Chinese enterprises in the largest trade fairs organised by TIF-Helexpo, such as Philoxenia, Hotelia, Detrop and Freskon.

Chinese interest is focused on tourism and Greek agricultural products, as well as exports of machinery and industrial products to our country.

During the visit to China, the administration of TIF-Helexpo

visited the Beijing Exhibition Centre and met with the deputy general director of the Chinese Investment Promotion Agency.

Furthermore, meetings were held at the Shanghai Chamber in order to explore potential partnerships with representatives of agencies and private enterprises organising participations in international fairs and exhibitions.

The internationalisation of the activities of TIF-Helexpo and the expansion of its partnerships in China is the most fertile opportunity for the initiative by the national exhibition agency to nominate China as the guest of honour at the 2017 General Fair.

The future is being built at the Infacoma and Aqua-Therm exhibitions, which will be held from 3 to 6 March 2017, focusing on the sectors of construction, energy and water management. The two international exhibitions, which will focus on innovation, sustainability and environmentally conscious construction, will be held for the first time in Athens in 2017, at Helexpo Maroussi exhibition centre.

After 33 years of successful events, the Infacoma exhibition, which has defined trends in the building and construction sector like no other exhibition, is being held in Athens, raising the bar for the building and construction sector. It will be held concurrently with the internationally renowned Aqua-Therm exhibition, the result of a partnership between TIF-Helexpo and Reed Messe Wien, the Austrian subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions, the largest exhibition group in the world. This is one of the most specialised exhibitions in the sectors of domestic and industrial heating, air-conditioning and ventilation, water supply and sewerage, as well as water management.

The two exhibitions are being jointly organised by TIF-Helexpo and the Be Best company.

The two exhibitions will be visited by hosted buyers, who will solely and exclusively meet with exhibitors, in order to achieve new partnerships and conclude commercial agreements.

Finally, Infacoma and Aqua-Therm 2017 will be supported by a rich schedule of parallel events.
