MedPrint 2007: new strategies for an ever-developing market

Three successful editions and the growing satisfaction of all participants have made MedPrint the most relevant trade event for the Central and Southern area.

Moving to Rome represented an important choice for MedPrint: it means being at the core of the great Mediterranean market. Rome has been acquiring importance not only as a political capital but also as an economic headstone, with a very strong appeal for Mediterranean countries.

The new venue offered more opportunities for participants. The Lazio region alone concentrates 10% of the Italian graphic industries, while 10% of the paper converting industries are located in Tuscany. Rome has a great appeal for the graphic and converting industry of the Central and Southern area, which makes up respectively 45% and 42% of the national industry.

The 2007 edition took place at Nuova Fiera di Roma, an avant-guard exhibition facility excellent for the display of technology. (see exhibition guide)
