Innovation is once again a push towards the future for the Riva del Garda fair, which returns to host the 'exhibition village' dedicated to startups, companies, institutions and professionals, designed to share the culture of innovation and create networking and business opportunities between emerging realities and established players.

The agenda of meetings, market focuses, special events, speeches, competitions and opportunities not to be missed during these days of the fair.

The press conference in Rome at which Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags presented its 100th edition was also attended by 3 protagonists of the event.

The 100th edition is the perfect opportunity to “take stock” of an event that started out with 12 exhibitors and today boasts 1300 footwear brands from over 40 countries.

At the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy in Rome, Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags presented its 100th edition that will be held in 2024 from 13 to 16 of January.

Presented at Pitti Uomo, the shoe is made of the iconic Tricotech® branded engineered knit fabric, in collaboration with the prestigious ACBC brand, and has been designed in every detail to reduce its environmental impact.

The Group, which operates in the leather accessories sector through the Piquadro, The Bridge and Lancel brands, continues on its path of sustainability, reaching a new, important goal.

The footwear brand has made sustainability and circular economy its mission, becoming an ambassador of slow fashion and friend of the planet.
