Special Initiatives

The places of excellence

There are products that simplify processes, reduce processing times or require an accurate explanation of the use process. SAIE special initiatives meet these needs and promote applicative products and solutions by telling the story of real-life projects, with the participation of suppliers, designers, clients and installers.

An iconographic account is developed, with models, cross-sections, products, as part of an architectonic project, supported by a programme of interventions providing an effective description of the presented project. The exhibition of products and numerous special initiatives means that technicians can gain first-hand experience of applicative solutions.

Demonstration courts, courses and technology spot-lights for a unique visitor experience. Numerous initiatives dedicated to individual sectors will be developed, to enhance the participation of exhibitors through the 4 thematic paths of SAIE 2022:
