Considering the timing of the recent changes in the Cuba-US relationship, it is expected that many American companies will certainly attend this year’s trade fair in Havana.  American corporations will increase the competition among nations already established on the Island.

There are many reasons to attend FIHAV Havana this year.  For other countries, it has been a proven entry strategy into Cuba.  Cuba is currently a nation with very little advertising and effective publicity.  Cuban buyers consider attendance at FIHAV a part of the pre-selection process.  Exhibiting at your country’s pavilion establishes both brand reputation and a level of endorsement among Cuban business interests.  Exhibiting at FIHAV has been a proven growth strategy for international companies in Cuba. A business presence at FIHAV can result in finalized sales contracts for corporations in sometimes as little as 6 to 12 months.

Cuba has immense market potential.  Acting quickly will ensure your business has access to these markets in Cuba.

It is time to act quickly to establish your business presence in Cuba.   The FIHAV Havana International Trade Fair in Havana will be at the ExpoCuba Exhibition Complex located on Avenue 17 between 174 and 184 Siboney in Havana, Cuba.  Read more about FIHAV Havana on the official website here.
