Since its creation in 2007, Bar Convent Berlin has become one of the main international trade fairs for the bar and beverage industry. This year, Berlin once again received the brands and professionals of the area, and the event was the only one bringing together, side by side, renowned brands and more traditional brands providing an enriching experience for visitors. During the two days of the fair, around 9,000 visitors exchanged contacts, conducted business and acquired new knowledge about products and innovations.
This activity was co-financed in 85% by community funds, under the Madeira 14-20 Programme, with the remainder being borne by the regional budget.
