Ecomondo, the international trade fair on sustainable development

It will take place in Rimini from 7 to 12 November

di Cristina Barbetta

 

More than 500 companies will be present at  Ecomondo (Rimini’s Fair, 7-12 November 2012), the international trade fair on sustainable development,  a benchmark for Italian and European companies that see environmental-friendliness as the key to competitiveness and the perfect challenge for their business.  
Ecomondo  features the 6th edition of the “Città Sostenibile” (meaning “Sustainable City”) initiative. Started as an exhibition of sustainable projects in Italian and European cities, this year it will display on a 6000 m2 area a real cross section of city where companies will propose the most innovative solutions to enhance the concept of Smart Grid-the system where all the networks contribute in an active way to the creation of databases, indicators and projects that improve the city, from an environmental, social and economic point of view. The Italian way to the intelligent city, the smart city. 
At the centre of the pavilions will lie the Agorà, a big urban area and a symbol of this  city, with a big structure covered with green: four areas will be realized,  in order to rebuild four urban neighborhoods, each one characterized by a material symbol.  
The companies participating to  Città Sostenibile come from 5 sectors: Building (planning, revamping, interior habitat) Waste (supply chain, reuse), Energy (Production, saving, build up), Mobility (biofuel, zero emissions, logistic, air quality, car sharing/pooling),  Social Education and Free Time (green areas, zero mile food) ……. 
Thanks to the cooperation with Sisifo Italia and its partners, Ecomondo will be present on social  networks and will have a dedicated social media  team during the days of the fair, in order to  communicate the contents of the fair, the programmed appointments, as well as  the special initiatives.
