CORFU. The results of Expo Corfu 2022 exceeded expectations, meeting the objectives set from the beginning of this event.

Expo Corfu – Food & Beverage and Professional & Hotel Equipment, which took place on 19, 20 and 21 March at the Corfu New Port, ended with great success.
 
More than 3,500 visitors had the opportunity to visit the 2 rooms of the event, which hosted 42 stands and 60 businesses, to communicate, exchange views and discuss business partnerships with exhibitors, producers, representatives and businessmen from Corfu, Athens, Zakynthos, Lefkada, Larissa and Kozani.
 
In the context of Expo Corfu 2022 and at the same time with the exhibitions, a series of 18 workshops and seminars were organised in the conference room of the Corfu Port Authority’s main building in collaboration with the Ionian University, the Corfu Chamber of Commerce, the Corfu Chefs Club, the Corfu Hoteliers’ Association, the Ionian Islands Agri-Food Cooperative, the Hellenic Rescue Team and other businesses participating in Expo Corfu 2022.


 
During the 3 days of Expo Corfu 2022, the Corfu Chefs Club, with the support of the Corfu School of Tourism, was actively present, organising daily product tastings in collaboration with the producers and exhibitors in order to promote local traditional recipes from Corfu and the Ionian Islands in general.
 
Present at the Expo Corfu 2022 were the Archbishop of Corfu, Paxos and the Diapontia Islands’ representative, the Corfu MP Stefanos Gikas’ representative, the Corfu MPs Alexandros Avlonitis and Dimitris Biangis, the Regional Governor Rodi Kratsa, the Deputy Regional Governor for Corfu Kostas Zorbas, the Regional Council President and Ionian Islands Agri-Food Cooperative President Nikos Mouzakitis, the Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands Mayor Meropi Ydraiou, the Deputy Mayor for Tourism Panayiotis Varouchas, the Municipal Councillor Spyros Moraitis, the Ionian Islands and Zakynthos Chambers of Commerce President Fotis Kottis, the Corfu Chamber of Commerce President Giorgos Hondroyiannis, professors and representatives of the Ionian University, the Corfu Hoteliers' Association President Babis Voulgaris, the Corfu Chefs Club President Alexandros Andriotis, the Corfu Port Authority managing director Spyros Zervopoulos, as well as representatives of the Corfu bodies.
 
The results of Expo Corfu 2022 exceeded expectations, meeting the objectives set from the beginning of this event, i.e. to strengthen trade and promote local entrepreneurship through the new development opportunities created in the post-pandemic era.
 
We would like to thank the visitors, exhibitors, workshop and seminar presenters, and all the bodies that supported us throughout this long period – from the initial postponement in March 2020, due to the pandemic, to the completion of Expo Corfu 2022 – and contributed to its great success.
