Miba Levante: the construction sector gathers in Bari
The ‘spin-off’ of the event organised by Fiera Milano, in collaboration with Pentastudio, is set to make its debut on 18 and 19 November 2026. 200 exhibitors are expected to attend
Key points
The challenge facing Italia’s building stock is the decarbonisation of 12 million buildings by 2050. This is a target which – at a rate of 1.4 per cent per year, comprising the refurbishment of existing buildings (0.8 per cent) and new, near-zero-emission constructions (0.6 per cent) – will be difficult to achieve, but the process can at least be accelerated by focusing on incentives, tax breaks, support schemes and substantial investment.
Strategic alliance between supply chains
What is needed, therefore, is an ‘alliance of supply chains’ within the construction sector, combining technology and plant engineering with home and building automation – an alliance that represents the true value of Miba Levante, the new trade fair launched in Bari and dedicated to the construction, plant engineering and technological innovation sectors, scheduled for 18 and 19 November 2026 in the halls of the Nuova Fiera del Levante.
Organised by Pentastudio and Fiera Milano, Miba Levante builds on the experience of Miba (Milan International Building Alliance), the international event held every two years at Fiera Milano, which aims to create a platform in Southern Italy for dialogue between businesses, professionals and technicians on the issues that are reshaping buildings and cities: energy efficiency, digitalisation, materials, sustainability, safety and new technologies.
Dialogue with businesses in Southern Italia
The event in Bari – featuring 200 exhibiting companies, both Italian and international – is therefore a spin-off of Miba and brings together three specialist exhibitions: Smart Building Levante, now in its fifth edition and dedicated to technological and systems integration; Made Expo and Fel – the Light Construction Festival, dedicated to the building industry, design and construction; and finally Sicurezza, focusing on technologies relating to access control, CCTV, intrusion detection and fire protection.
“With Miba Levante, Fiera Milano aims to strengthen its dialogue with businesses and industry professionals from Puglia and Southern Italia, offering them new opportunities for discussion and development,” explains Paola Sarco, Head of Building and Industrial Exhibitions at Fiera Milano and CEO of Made Eventi. “The market recognises that professionals now work within supply chains, which is why at Miba we have brought everything together to enable professionals to find the full range of offerings.”
