São Paulo – The Algiers International Fair (FIA-2023) takes place from June 19 to 24 at the Palais des Expositions in Algeria’s capital city. FIA is the largest multisectoral trade show in the North African country. The Embassy of Brazil in Algiers is organizing the participation of Brazilian companies in the 54th edition of the event.
To this end, the embassy opened a call offering free areas in the event for Brazilian exhibitors. Remaining costs related to the show like transport and accommodation will be borne by the companies.
