MIBA: The Building Supply Chain At Fiera Milano
The evolution of the built environment toward greater environmental sustainability, higher energy efficiency, and improved living quality is now at the core of European policy. The transposition of the EPBD IV Directive (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive IV), together with the Renovation Wave — the EU strategy aimed at promoting the redevelopment and energy efficiency of buildings — forms the foundation for a structural transformation of the sector. The coming years will be crucial for the relaunch and renewal of the building stock not only in Italy but throughout Europe.
Within this context, Fiera Milano presents the 2025 edition of MIBA – Milan International Building Alliance, the format that, starting on November 19, will once again bring together four trade shows offering a holistic vision encompassing materials, technologies, solutions, and systems for the evolution of buildings and cities. GEE – Global Elevator Exhibition (vertical and horizontal mobility), MADE expo (construction and architecture), SMART BUILDING EXPO (technological integration), and SICUREZZA (security & fire) present impressive figures: more than 1,250 companies from 38 countries, eight exhibition halls, and significant international presence, accounting for 28% of total exhibitors. The most represented countries include Germany, Spain, Poland, France — Europe’s major producers — and China, confirming the global reach of the event.
A strong focus is placed on training and professional development, with over 100 sessions dedicated to the major challenges shared by all four markets: sustainability, digitalization, security, and artificial intelligence applications.
“MIBA is the result of a growth path that has united markets and exhibitions that were once separate, creating a system capable of transforming technological innovation and professional know-how into concrete business opportunities,” explains Paola Sarco, CEO of Made Eventi and Head of Building & Industry Exhibitions at Fiera Milano. “With over 1,250 companies, increasingly international and representative, MIBA offers a unique platform where numbers, projects, and ideas translate into real solutions for sustainable building and urban regeneration. Today more than ever, integration is the key to meeting the challenge of sustainability and leading the evolution of living spaces”.
Sustainable Construction: €20 billion in opportunities for the european market
GEE – Global Elevator Exhibition, Made expo, SBE – Smart Building Expo and SICUREZZA return together to represent the entire building supply chain: 8 halls, over 1,250 companies and more than 100 events. The Third MIBA Observatory, produced by the Politecnico di Milano, was presented: between 2025 and 2027, New European Bauhaus projects will mobilize more than €20 billion across Europe, €2.5 billion of which in Italy. Sustainability, digitalization, security and AI are the key themes driving market development and the focus of all training programs.
