Milan, June 23^rd - MADE expo evolves and gives rise to ME, to be scheduled from 15 to 18 November 2023 in the East Gate halls of Fiera Milano, Rho. Organized by Made Eventi srl, a company of Fiera Milano (60%) and Federlegno Arredo Eventi (40%) ME will lead professionals through the unavoidable evolution of the built environment towards sustainability, involving them effectively in a completely transformed event, in terms of concept and layout.

"Work for progress" is the claim chosen by the event to represent the vision of the future of the sector, with the choice of colors and visuals that immediately refer to the theme of sustainability, along a path that - originating from ME - will lead to the only form of progress for the individual and the community.

A highly specialized and integrated platform, ME will be structured into two new exhibitions. The Construction exhibition will bring software and technologies for design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to the fair, as well as construction systems and solutions for structures and infrastructures; safety and construction site equipment; proposals for energy requalification, thermal insulation, and comfort; materials and finishes for interiors; solutions for the building plant integration. The Building Envelope exhibition will focus on the display of windows and doors; façade systems and roofing; components and accessories; production machinery for doors and windows; glass; industrial closures and solutions for shading and automation; outdoor, solar and insect protection.

Both exhibitions will develop the topics of Innovation and Sustainability, offering companies, buyers, professionals, technicians, and operators the most advanced solutions to lead the world of construction into the future.

The institutions themselves are moving in this direction. The European Commission recently launched the REPowerEU plan for energy independence, including a series of strategic measures for the sustainability of buildings, such as the mandatory installation of solar panels on the roofs of new buildings or the doubling of the diffusion rate of heat pumps.

This and much more will be discussed at ME 2023 where the exhibition area and conference program will show how, thanks to innovation, sustainability can become extremely concrete: materials and construction techniques can in fact guarantee, both in new buildings and in renovation, the improvement of energy efficiency and a new quality of living. The event itself will be set up in a sustainable way through the adoption of virtuous measures and behaviors.

THE APPOINTMENTS OF ME 2023

ME addresses to an Italian and international audience, made up of designers, technicians, construction and maintenance companies, window makers, craftsmen, retailers and distributors, wholesalers, professional studios and showrooms, representatives of the public administration and trade associations, schools, and universities. The entire ME community will find the answers to its needs thanks to the two new Exhibitions which, through a vertical development with strong interconnections and continuous dialogue, will allow operators to organize their presence at the fair focusing on the sectors of greatest interest for their respective business areas.

The training program will also deepen the main themes of each exhibition, to offer each target, the best updating proposal. The scheduled conferences, held by international consultants and speakers, will be developed into specific paths with a focus on market trends and prospects, as well as on the progress of projects related to the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan). Participation in the ME conferences will also give access to training credits for architects, surveyors, and engineers.

New life also for the ME Awards which, in a dedicated area, will award the most innovative companies within the Construction and Building Envelope exhibitions, with special attention on sustainable innovations. The prizes, including a special recognition for startups, will be awarded by a technical jury and by the thousands of followers who follow the event on social channels.

IN MILAN: FOUR EVENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS

A worldwide reference hub for architecture and innovation trends, as well as for consolidated international attractiveness and accessibility, Milan with Fiera Milano is the best location to host events dedicated to the world of construction. For a week, in November 2023, Fiera Milano will become a pole of attraction for building operators, connecting them with the most innovative solutions in every application area. From 15 to 17 November 2023, in an almost perfect overlap with ME (which also continues on the 18), three other trade fairs are scheduled: SICUREZZA, the professional event for technologies, security and fire prevention; SMART BUILDING EXPO, the Italian fair for home and building automation and system integration; and GLOBAL ELEVATOR EXHIBITION, the new event dedicated to vertical and horizontal mobility, thus offering buyers, companies and professionals who gravitate to their respective sectors a unique opportunity for business and networking.
