Scoperta '03 focusing on innovation
Staff -- Home Textiles Today, 2/17/2003
HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND — Scoperta, the fine textiles exhibition, will be held in Chiasso, Switzerland from May 6 to 9.
This year's edition of the show will focus on innovation in the marketplace.
And in recognition that many recent trade shows have had low turnout, Scoperta will concentrate activities to just two areas: offering new materials and designs from traditional and new suppliers; and bringing new buyers from the developing side of Europe.
More than 80 companies, the most in the show's history, will be attending this year.
Bill Davis, managing director, said, "Some people are questioning the value of exhibitions, claiming that they see nothing new these days when ever they visit. Our answer is to say, come and have a look at how things are changing … New innovative suppliers are appearing all the time, and we aim to provide the platform to present these new materials and ideas."
