ORGANISATION OF ESPAI CATALUNYA

At the Saudi Foodex Show, Prodeca is organising an Espai Catalunya with the aim of supporting the commercial promotion of food and beverage companies in the Saudi market.

ESPAI CATALUNYA is a shared exhibition area with no dividing walls.

Each company will have 2 linear metres of frontage with a counter and display cabinet. High tables and stools for meetings will be set up in the central area. Storage will be shared.

If a company needs a display fridge or other furniture not listed above, it must arrange and pay for it directly. In all cases, it must notify Prodeca sufficiently in advance so that both the electrical supply and the layout of furniture and other items can be planned for.

All companies will be included in the fair catalogue.

A draw will be held to allocate exhibitor locations.

PARTICIPATION PRICE
