autopromotec 2015 - facts & figures
DESCRIPTION
The 2015 edition of Autopromotec confirmed the show’s growth over its previous edition, in terms of both exhibitors and professional visitors, coming from all over the world, as well as media interest. The Autopromotec “numbers”, therefore, tell the true story of the show, and growth figures consolidate its success over the years, particularly at international level, with the Bologna-based exhibition now considered a European benchmark event for the automotive industry. However, as the organizers have often pointed out, growth statistics are not Autopromotec’s main goal, but rather they prove how good a job has been done to achieve the results the show aims at, which are always quality - and specialization – oriented.TRANSCRIPT

PrefaceThe 2015 edition of Autopromotec confirmed the show’s growth over its previous edition, in terms of both exhibitors and professional visitors, coming from all over the world, as well as media interest.The Autopromotec “numbers”, therefore, tell the true story of the show, and growth figures consolidate its success over the years, particularly at international level, with the Bologna-based exhibition now considered a European benchmark event for the automotive industry. However, as the organizers have often pointed out, growth statistics are not Autopromotec’s main goal, but rather they prove how good a job has been done to achieve the results the show aims at, which are always quality - and specialization – oriented.
To encourage and promote new products and their quality. To commend high-technology product innovations. To further increase the high level of specialization that is always typical of the exhibition. To allow sector professionals and operators to have
one-on-one meetings with manufacturers. To enhance the international flair of the show. To provide all operators with direct access to the best the international aftermarket industry has to offer: these have always been the guidelines of the Autopromotec show, which have made it the benchmark event in the automotive aftermarket industry worldwide.
This brochure is, therefore, the result of the commitment undertaken by Autopromotec in encouraging and boosting business growth in the whole automotive industry, giving voice to the high quality level of exhibitors and their technology products, putting companies directly in touch with world markets, inviting over 100 speakers, namely the international leaders of the automotive industry, institutions, associations and media, to bring forth the meeting-laden schedule of AutopromotecEDU, which delighted all attendants with highly qualified information, training and research provisions.

Buyers Lounge
The increased number of international activities revolving around Autopromotec 2015 resulted in an equally increased number of international B2B meetings between visitors and exhibitors. As in past editions, several sector-strategic markets were targeted, and, thanks to the collaboration with different institutional and private consultants, 24 delegations of international buyers were organized.
An important agreement with the ICE – Italian Trade Promotion Agency, allowed delegations from Saudi Arabia, Australia, South Korea, UAE, Japan, Israel, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Mexico, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, USA and South Africa to attend the show.
Another agreement with Unioncamere Emilia-Romagna allowed delegations from Bulgaria, Croatia and the Czech Republic to be organized.
At the same time, cooperation projects with private consultants, developed by the organizers and co-funded by the Emilia-Romagna Region, allowed organizing visits for professionals from Turkey, from Southeast Asian emerging markets such as Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as from Argentina and Brazil.
115 delegates from 24 countries (figures increased compared to 2013) engaged in 662 official B2B meetings with exhibitors held at the “Buyer Lounge”, located inside the “Circuito delle Idee” (Idea Circuit) area (Service Centre); additional meetings were also held inside the booths assigned to registered exhibitors.

AutopromotecEDU, the discussion arena on the most recent issues revolving around the automotive aftersales industry, enjoyed also in 2015 tremendous success, involving all actors of the car service network. The 20 featured comprehensive examinations gathered over 2,300 Italian and international attendants, as well as over 100 international speakers, all whom were leading personalities of the automotive industry, institutions, associations and media.
The opening talk launched a new formula, hosting a lectio magistralis by a renowned economist on the economic recovery, as well as a discussion on the automotive industry held by some major industry actors. IAAM - the International Automotive Aftermarket Meeting – featured the most qualified sector experts focusing on the challenges posed by the latest automotive ICT (Information and Communication Technology) solutions on a worldwide scale.
Another recurrence was the 13th edition of the GIPA Excellence Trophies, featuring important prizes awarded to individuals or companies that have particularly distinguished themselves over the last 24 months in car aftersales. For the last 6 years, these have been regularly presented within the context of the Bologna-based exhibition.
The congress “The near future of the independent after-sales and technological advancements: the protagonists compared” highlighted a series of interesting issues worth reflecting and working on, in view of the challenges that are taking shape in the future for the entire independent aftersales sector. To increase sustainable business growth in the aftermarket network, several events took place: from the four country-specific presentations of such strategic markets as Vietnam, South Africa, Turkey and Brazil, to meetings focusing on marketing and management strategies, as well as a series of meetings on freight transportation. All these meetings were organized in collaboration with trade associations that joined forces to support a particularly strategic sector of World economy.
The two meeting halls within the “Circuito delle Idee” (Idea Circuit) area (Service Centre) thus ended up hosting a real melting pot of automotive expertise and knowledge in the multi-faceted spare parts and car service market.
