International Trade Show of Havana Logo.
For 29 years the Cuban capital has organized the International Trade Show of Havana, where in the first year only participated 88 companies from Cuba, Spain and Panama, in 2010 already more than 1000 corporations from 58 countries participated, which clearly shows that the fair's value for the international market.
This is one of the the most important multisectoral events of Latin America and the Caribbean's, exhibiting machineries, raw material, consumer goods and services at its usual location, the fairground Expocuba.
The exhibition is very useful to get to know new products, to negotiate and maybe even to set up supply contracts, as well as for profitable exchange and to explore a market like the Cuban one, which is attractive in despite of the country's focus on reducing its imports and increasing its exports.
The organizing committee of the International Trade Show of Havana also assigns various awards such as the "Giraldilla de la Habana" - in the category of the best stand design (modular, free design, grouped companies) as well as the most outstanding pavilion - and the "Medalla de Oro pro Calidad del Producto" (Gold Medal for Product Quality) as well as awards for Product Design and Publicity.
Eagerly awaited is the presence of North American businessmen of the agro-alimentary area, the ones who try to encourage and promote trade between Cuba and the United States, although there has not been any kind of relation for over half a century and the northern sales keeps decreasing since 2008; during the first eight months of 2011 it hardly achieved $240'300'000 dollars.
The fair has been visited very well by a Cuban audience considering the remote location of the fairground, for many it has become a new way of getting to know innovative products and technologies which always draw the Cuban's interest and curiosity as well as the eagerness to be up to date which is so characteristic of them.
