Fiera Milano, Miba is back: four events tell the story of the construction industry
Presented the 2025 edition, which starts on 19 November: more than 1,250 companies from 38 countries participate
Fiera Milano presents the 2025 edition of Miba - Milan international building alliance, the format that from next 19 November will once again see four events coming together to tell the story of the evolution of buildings and cities. Gee - Global Elevator Exhibition (horizontal and vertical mobility), Made expo (construction and architecture), Smart building Expo (technological integration) and Sicurezza (security&fire) show important numbers: more than 1,250 companies from 38 countries, eight pavilions and an important foreign representation equal to 28% of the total.
Among the most represented countries are Germany, Spain, Poland, France - the major European manufacturers - and China, confirming the international scope of the offer. The focus on training and professional development is central, with more than 100 appointments focusing on the major challenges common to the four markets: sustainability, digitalisation, security and the application of artificial intelligence.
"Miba is the fruit of a path of growth that has united markets and events that were once separate, creating a system capable of transforming technological innovation and professional know-how into concrete business opportunities," explains Paola Sarco, CEO of Made Eventi and Head of Building & Industry Exhibitions at Fiera Milano. "With an offer of over 1,250 companies, increasingly representative and international, Miba offers a unique platform where numbers, projects and ideas are translated into real solutions for the redevelopment and sustainable construction of buildings. Today, more than ever, integration is the key to meeting the challenge of sustainability and guiding the evolution of living spaces.
Produced by the Milan Polytechnic, scientific partner of the event, the Third Miba Observatory proposes a medium-term analysis (three years 2025-2027) on the prospects of the building sector, identifying an interesting driver of development in the New European Bauhaus (Neb), the European Commission's initiative that aims to renew the relationship between society, culture and territory, focusing on buildings that combine three key dimensions: sustainability, beauty and inclusiveness.
According to the study, in the period 2025-2027 the main financial implementation instrument of the Neb will be the Neb Facility, a European funding mechanism that will mobilise more than 240 million euro/year (50 per cent on innovation and research, 50 per cent on project implementation) with the aim of promoting the development and dissemination of innovative solutions for the transformation of city districts.
