OROAREZZO 2026: GLOBAL SCENARIOS, NEW STRATEGIES AND JEWELRY SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION

Arezzo (Italy), 17 April 2026 – In a context of geopolitical tensions and markets in need of restructuring, companies in the Arezzo italian district are responding with manufacturing capabilities and industry technologies, which will be showcased at Oroarezzo 2026, to be held at Arezzo Fiere e Congressi from May 9 to 12. The Italian Exhibition Group’s international trade show will be attended by the most representative exhibitors, not only from the “home” Made in Italy district but also from Vicenza, Valenza and Milan, in line with last year’s edition. IEG aims to diversify both hosted buyer incoming and content with the first “The Global Outlook 2026. Global jewelry markets and practical tools for business growth” conference - organized in collaboration with Federorafi Confindustria Nazionale, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), and AFEMO - and “Precious Fashion”, the new entry that, from a talk series, will become an exhibition area specifically for fashion accessories.

«IEG’s work on Oroarezzo is unyielding and ongoing» says Matteo Farsura, head of IEG’s Jewellery & Fashion division. «In an international climate of uncertainty, we are aware of companies’ concerns regarding the slowdown in strategic markets, particularly in the Middle East. We are therefore grateful for the renewed trust of our exhibitors and assure them that we are implementing a proactive strategy with the aim of further diversifying the tools at disposal. We strongly believe in a team-based approach: together with trade associations, local institutions and businesses, we regularly share updates on incoming activities, tangibly directing our joint efforts».
