over these few days”.
But more than the data, what explains the positive climate and renewed energy within the sector and the operators can also be seen in the success of the initiatives promoted by Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags, which focused on innovation, both in terms of business and in terms of design and products. In this regard, the show re-introduced the Innovation Village Retail project, whose winning start-up was chosen from among the ten selected by the jury chaired by Alberto Mattiello, a member of the show’s scientific committee, and which will take part in the next edition of the show in January 2023. The winner was Wonderflow, the start-up founded in Amsterdam in 2014 by Italians Riccardo Osti, Giovanni Gaglione and Michele Ruini, which uses artificial intelligence to analyse a brand’s Voice of the Customer – from reviews to surveys – as well as that of their competitors, transforming them into data on which to base strategic decisions. Space for design and its key players was also central to the Kind Leather Contest, supported by JBS Couros, a leading Brazilian leather manufacturer, and organized by Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags, Arsutoria School and FotoShoe Magazine. The winner of this first edition of the competition was Indonesian designer Tommy Ambiyo Tedji, who received his award in Riva del Garda from Ambassador
Hadil da Rocha-Vianna, Consul General of Brazil in Milan.
“With our understanding of innovation and changes in the market, we again achieved extraordinary results at this edition of the show”, concluded Chairman of Riva del Garda
Fierecongressi Roberto Pellegrini. “We supported exhibitors and visitors through the show’s digital platform, which ensured the presence of Asian manufacturing, with over 80 Chinese companies, of which 42 attended in hybrid mode. The numbers, partnerships and relationships established lay the foundations for future editions, and augur well for January 2023”.
We’ll see you at the next edition of Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags, from 14 to 17 January 2023. A particular note is the presence at the fair -for the first time- of
Alibaba.com, the leading international B2B e-commerce platform. The partnership between the Chinese giant and Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags gave rise to the webinar “Go Global with
Alibaba.com” that will be broadcast online on 30th June. (link to register
