The Mayor of Vigo, Abel Caballero, shows his support and support for the event that will take place in the Auditorium Mar de Vigo

Navalia will reunite the naval sector in July 2021 if the pandemic situation allows. Javier Arnau, director of the international hall met today with the Abel Caballero, Mayor of Vigo, to move the organization's plans after the cancellation of the fair. The eighth edition of Navalia should have been held in October 2020, after being postponed in May, but was finally unable to open its doors. For this reason, and with the aim of maintaining the biennial periodicity of the living room, but in the spirit of being present every year, the organization has decided to hold its International Congress in the odd years. The first quote of this new initiative will take place in July 2021, specifically in the Auditorium Mar de Vigo and thanks to the support and support shown by the Vigo regiator.

The congress, which still outlines its final programme, will have round tables, commercial missions and certain official events scheduled for 2020. It will also serve to analyze the current moment of the naval industry. Abel Caballero, as Mayor of Vigo and President of the FEMP (Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces), was willing to contact the mayors of the Spanish cities who have weight in the shipbuilding such as Ferrol, Gijón, Bilbao, Cádiz or Barcelona, to participate in the event.

Finally, Caballero transferred to Javier Arnau the support of the local government for the next edition of the fair scheduled for 2022 and which already has dates: 24, 25 and 26 May.
