What does Feria Hábitat València have to offer businesses? Definitely the possibility of seeing the vast majority of your usual suppliers and expanding your portfolio with the latest new products and collections from today’s on-trend international manufacturers.

Plus, this year activity and business centred on home renovations is growing 6 percentage points ahead of last year, according to market report Houzz 2022.
