Metef 2017 to host the conference “India-Italy: Industry and Intellectual Interchange”

In terms of exhibition and interchange volumes, Metef is the largest exhibition on metals and smart technologies in the SEMEA area (South Europe, Middle East, Africa) and certainly one of Asia's trend-influencers. The context of this exhibition is Italy, with the largest aluminium community in Europe, and with the second-largest industrial volumes in Europe. With over 10,000 operators and 400 exhibitors from over fifty countries, the Metef scenario concerns metals, intellectual research and innovation. Certainly it is the most suitable setting to host the conference "India-Italy. Industry and Intellectual Interchange" on June 23.

The event follows various initiatives organized by ArtValley in Kolkata, India and in particular BGBS 2017, with the participation of 45 Italian companies and  the commitment of West Bengal Government. The conference is held in collaboration with the Embassy of India in Rome, the India-Italy Chamber of Commerce in Mumbai, the Consulate General of Calcutta, Al Circle, A&L, the Amafond and Assofond Associations, with the organization assured by Quindi, Shonagon and JS Group (Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi).
