Full steam ahead for MADE expo 2025

The countdown towards MADE expo 2025, the event that aims to redraw the boundaries of the sector, has officially begun – promising an edition packed with new things, international protagonists, strategic alliances and extremely high added value content.

Organised by MADE Eventi Srl, a Fiera Milano Spa and Federlegno Arredo Eventi SpA company, MADE expo was devised to respond to concrete demand from the sector for an evolved platform on which construction innovation, sustainability and culture could be brought together in a single vision. The edition being held from 19th to 22nd November will follow the usual exhibition layout, split into two large thematic areas: Salone Involucro/Salone Building Envelope and Salone Costruzioni/Salone Construction.

MADE expo 2025 - the figures: four pavilions and more than 650 companies, 26% of them from abroad, representing 29 foreign countries.

In support of the event, the collaboration with  the ITA/ICE Agency fosters a structured Buyer Programme aimed at encouraging delegations of leading international professionals. Thanks to this initiative, more than 150 buyers from 50 countries will be hosted, with a particular focus on Europe as well as the USA, the United Arab Emirates, Canada and Tunisia.

MADE expo has forged meaningful synergies with key partners, such as the Politecnico di Milano and Cresme, along with trade associations such as UNICMI, Federparquet, Confartigianato, Conpaviper, Anit and Assorestauro. The framework of collaborations is completed by the Eucentre Foundation, the College of Engineers and Architects of Milan, the Order of Architects Foundation, planners, landscape architects and conservators in the province of Milan, ANCI – the National Association of Italian Municipalities and ANCE Lombardy.  In this scenario, the renewed presence of FEL – Festival dell'Edilizia Leggera/Festival of Light Construction represents highly important added value by bringing to the fair the only national event vertically dedicated to the world of colour in construction, to professional hardware and construction warehouses.

The event is in line with the principles of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) – the sustainable architecture movement promoted by the European Commission that invites architects, engineers and builders to rethink spaces in terms of sustainability, beauty and inclusiveness. It will also feature the Agorà Restauro, curated by Assorestauro, with a focus on subsidised finance for historical heritage, the energy efficiency of historic buildings, restoration sites in Milan and the presentation of the Innovacultura project. Finally, there will be a focus on one of the most frequently discussed topics at this point in time - artificial intelligence. The Inspirational Talk AI Architectural Intelligence, being held at Fiera Milano on 20th November, will feature innovation gurus and the international community of architects and engineers.
