The Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda, through Prodeca, organizes the group participation of companies in the fair PROWEIN 2022.

Annual fair aimed at an exclusively professional audience, which will be holding its own this year 26th edition.

Data for the 2019 edition*:

• 6,900 exhibitors from 64 countries
• 61,500 visitors from 142 countries

*The 2020 and 2021 editions were canceled due to the pandemic situation

The visitors belong to the service sectors of catering, hotels, restoration, wine and liquor stores, wholesale stores and to detail, import and export, online sale, etc.

As for the origin of the visitors, one 46% are buyers from Germany. Among the remaining 54%, the list is topped by countries that are already importers such as the Benelux (19%), Scandinavia (10%), America (12%, including South America and Canada), but new global growth markets such as Eastern Europe (16%) are also increasing.

ORGANIZATION OF THE STAND

• In the Pavilion of Catalonia, and under the brand 'Catalonia, where wine is culture', the following types of spaces will be distributed:
   
  • 9m stand²: They will have individual storage, table, chairs, counter-counter with integrated fridge, stool, surface for product exhibition and company graphics (logo and image)
  • 11m stand²: In addition to the elements of the 9m2 stand, they will have an extra counter, with a built-in fridge.
     
• The basic decoration of the stands will be uniform for all the stands. Each exhibitor, in their space, may use other promotional material (vinyl, rollup, signage, etc.), as long as it does not alter the image of the stand as a whole and that the elements are attached, not nailed. The exhibitor must notify Prodeca beforehand; the exhibitor must undertake the placement work.
• For exhibitors who need some furniture or service not included in the conditions of the call, Prodeca will provide a price list of extra elements; the exhibiting company will have to bear the cost.
• Common shared spaces: The companies, which can belong to any of the Catalan DOs, exhibit in an open space, without separation between them. The warehouse is common and each company has a display case, a counter with a lower fridge, a high table with 2 stools and graphics on the wall.
• Shared spaces association: In the event that an association or denomination of origin organizes a joint participation, the exhibitors will have a showcase and a counter with a lower fridge and, whenever space allows, a high table with 2 stools. The warehouse will be common and so will the graphic image.

Generic considerations for all exhibitors:

• Every participating company must register with Prodeca. If one or more companies wish to share space, this must be indicated in the comments section of the registration form.
• The availability of the different types of spaces is limited. Accordingly, Prodeca will confirm to each company requesting the availability of the option requested in the registration form.
• The spaces of 9m2 and 11m2 can be shared, at most, by 2 companies. In both cases, the cost of the stand entails a fair registration. For the participation of a second company, its registration will be mandatory, at the price set by the fair organization, €170 + 21% VAT. The extra necessary furniture will be paid for by the wineries.
• Common shared spaces will be located in an area where more than 2 companies will be located and where they will also have to share warehouse space.
• There will be a space with computers with Internet connection, printer, photocopier and scanner, which all exhibitors can use. There will also be a water point for common use, which will include coffee service.
• The staff assigned to the organization of the Pavilion will support the exhibitors before and during the celebration of the fair.

COST AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

• Cost per space of 9m²: €4,075 + 21% VAT
• Cost per space of 11m²: €5,300 + 21% VAT
• Cost for common shared space: €2,800 + 21% VAT
• Cost for shared association space: €2,500 + 21% VAT

Companies interested in participating must fill in the registration form and send it to Prodeca together with proof of payment of registration fees.

Companies wishing to opt for a corner can do so by marking the box on the registration form and assuming an additional cost of €210+VAT, which will be invoiced once awarded, after the draw that will determine the location of the companies. 

They will be admitted companies that comply with the following:

1. Companies producing wines protected with some designation of origin of the wine or cava
2. Catalan companies producing wine or wine products

Wine products covered by a non-Catalan designation of origin will not be accepted. Nor will companies dedicated exclusively to the wine trade be admitted unless they represent a manufacturing company; in the latter case, the name that will appear as exhibitor will be that of the manufacturing company.

Registrations of companies will be accepted until reaching the limit of contracted space at this fair. The criteria for accepting companies will be Prodeca's general: by order of arrival of registrations.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

• Deadline for applications: 15 July 2019.
• Registration fee: €1,600 + 21% VAT

The company will be considered admitted once it has sent the registration form, within the period indicated, and has paid the registration fee. The remaining amount must be paid by January 31, 2020.

Once admitted, if the company renounces its participation it will lose 100% of what it has paid. The organization reserves the right to assess the reasons presented by the company to cancel participation and return a percentage of the amount paid.

The organization reserves the right to make a selection of companies according to criteria of sectoral suitability and suitability of the product for the fair market.

In the event that there is a demand for spaces greater than those offered, the criterion of the order of arrival of requests will be applied.

TRANSPORT OF SAMPLES

• Prodeca will assign a company for the transport and will bear the one-way transportation cost of samples for the exclusive use of exhibition at the fair, up to a maximum of 1 m3 per company/stand, from the carrier's warehouse assigned by Prodeca to the fairgrounds.
• If an exhibitor sends more, the transport company will invoice the difference.
• It does not include insurance, tariffs, import and/or other costs that may be incurred, which will, in any case, be borne by the exhibiting company.
• Prodeca will send a specific communication for this section with the corresponding instructions.
• The companies that share a stand must also share the transport of the product, in the same shipment.
• If the exhibiting company decides to hire another transport company, Prodeca will not bear its cost, will not have any responsibility or coordinate the arrival at the fairgrounds, a task that must be undertaken in all cases by the contracting company.
• If a company needs any additional transport service, such as the collection of the goods in its warehouse or the return transport, it must contract directly with the transporter before the fair, and it will be borne by the exhibitor himself.
• Companies must be present on assembly day, Saturday March 14, from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., to receive their product.
