The biennial event of the international apple show,
started in 1998, returns to Fiera Bolzano from
24 to 26 November. For this special occasion,
the 10th edition of the show, the trade fair will be
even larger, occupying the four areas of 25,000 sqm available, and visitors from at least 70 countries
worldwide are expected.
Once again the highlight of the event is "The Apple in the World" conference, scheduled for the mornings on the three days of the fair, with important speakers coming from the areas of the world most suited to apple production. Experts will exchange opinions and know-how useful to the future of the entire sector. In the same context there will be the opportunity to present new varieties, thanks to the participation of important research centres, such as those of Laimburg and San Michele all'Adige.
Due to the numerous requests from previous years, for Interpoma 2016 there will be even more educational tours for trade fair visitors. In particular, every day a couple of visits to two or three locations in the Bolzano area will be organised to show operators from around the world the methods of production, differentiation and storage of apples in the South Tyrol. For easy access to these tours, guests can book online on the event's website.
To celebrate the tenth birthday of Interpoma, for the first time ever the Trade Fair organisation is working to also involve the city of Bolzano, in order to organise initiatives and events focusing on the apple. For the local public there will be an opportunity to see one of the area's most important product for the local economy put to best use, whereas those coming from outside can discover the apple "fringe events" for the first time, with several initiatives for a varied and international public.
Thomas Mur, the new manager of Fiera Bolzano since 1 September 2015, says: "Interpoma is one of the real prides of Fiera Bolzano. Edition after edition it has enjoyed increasing success, becoming the most important event in the world in this sector. Looking ahead, I see even greater growth and development potential for this show."
