September's habitat gathering will mobilise over one million euros to attract buyers from strategic markets

The great habitat fair gathering that will unite Feria Hábitat València, Textilhogar, Espacio Cocina SICI and the new 360 by Cevisama area at Feria Valencia from 28 September to 1 October will feature one of the largest hosted-buyer programmes ever developed in Spain for these sectors. Under the 'València Inspira Diseño 2026' initiative, the National and International Buyers Plan foresees a global investment of more than one million euros to guarantee the presence of leading purchasing decision-makers, specifiers and professionals from the contract, architecture, interior design and large-scale distribution channels. The programme combines coordinated actions by the Valencian regional government — through IVACE+i Internacional —, ICEX and sector associations including ANIEME, FEDAI, ATEVAL-Home Textiles From Spain, ARVET and bathroom association ASEBAN. The plan will focus on the European Union and Latin America, which concentrate a very significant share of Spanish habitat exports, and will run specific actions in emerging Maghreb markets, where the upcoming Football World Cup and major hotel and tourism infrastructure investments are generating growing demand for comprehensive fit-out solutions. Invited profiles include architecture studios, interior designers, specifiers, purchasing groups, specialist distributors and major importers with large-volume buying power. At the last edition, the event welcomed more than 40,000 trade visitors, nearly 16% of them from 102 countries, consolidating València as a leading international hub for southern Europe's habitat industry.
