The 41st Havana International Fair (Fihav 2025), the region's main trade fair, begins today, with the aim of promoting new strategic thematic areas for the national economy, and presenting Cuba as a reliable destination for business.
At a recent press conference, Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, emphasized that this edition transcends traditional trade negotiations by incorporating spaces of high prospective value. "This Fair is much more than a space for commercial exchange; it is a showcase of the opportunities offered by the Cuban economy, based on innovation, sustainability, and integration," he stressed.
Among the new features of Fihav 2025 are five thematic exhibition areas, designed to highlight the most relevant opportunities. One of these is the Made in Cuba pavilion, with the aim of promoting the exportable quality of national production, with special participation from micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and production hubs.
In addition, the Renewable Energy area in Cuba is geared towards promoting the energy transition with panels on sustainable investment; and a space dedicated to Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence applied to management and production.
Another segment of great interest will be dedicated to BRICS and Integration Mechanisms, showcasing projects and sectors with potential for cooperation within frameworks such as ALBA-TCP, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and ALADI, among others. Completing this vision is the "United Cuba" sector, which positions tourism as a driving force for production chains and service exports.
In a complex international context, marked by the intensification of the U.S. government's blockade of the island and the effects of Hurricane Melissa in the eastern part of the country, the Fair will feature the participation of more than 47 countries and the European Union. Among the participating nations are strategic partners such as Russia, China, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia.
Likewise, the most represented sectors will be agro-industry, biotechnology and medical services – an aspect in which Cuba has international prestige – tourism, the energy industry and logistics.
The event will also host the 8th Investment Forum, with an update to the Portfolio of Opportunities, and the Caribbean Banking Forum.
