FIMA – The International Environmental Fair: A Sustainable Future Rooted in Biodiversity and Innovation
FIMA, The International Environmental Fair, stands as Latin America’s most influential and forward-thinking event focused on environmental sustainability and innovation. Held annually and organized by Corporación de Ferias y Exposiciones S.A., FIMA brings together key stakeholders from across the public, private, and academic sectors to explore and promote sustainable solutions in industries, cities, and communities.
As climate urgency intensifies and global leaders seek viable pathways toward green transformation, FIMA offers a strategic platform to discuss actionable policies, showcase breakthrough technologies, and cultivate collaboration. From environmental engineers to circular economy experts, this fair attracts thousands of professionals who are committed to driving real environmental change.
Spotlight on the Amazon Biome: Honoring the World’s Biodiversity Powerhouse
One of the most remarkable aspects of this year’s FIMA is the recognition of the Amazon Biome as the guest of honor. Spanning across eight countries and harboring 10% of global biodiversity, the Amazon plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate, water cycles, and biological diversity.
By highlighting the Amazon, FIMA aims to:
Promote transnational cooperation on ecosystem conservation
Raise awareness about deforestation, indigenous rights, and water resource management
Connect biodiversity with sustainable economic development
This recognition aligns perfectly with the event’s central theme: Preserving natural resources as a foundation for resilient, inclusive, and productive economies.
FIMA's Mission: Driving Sustainable Transformation in the Productive Sector
The productive sectors—agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and energy—are often viewed as contributors to environmental degradation. However, FIMA repositions these industries as key agents of transformation by showcasing tools and practices that help them become more sustainable.
Key focus areas at the fair include:
Clean and renewable energy solutions
Waste reduction and circular economy strategies
Eco-efficiency in industrial processes
Water and soil management technologies
Green innovation in transportation and logistics
These areas reflect the growing demand for sustainability that is not only regulatory-driven but increasingly market-led, as consumers and investors prioritize ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors.
Exhibitions, Forums, and Real-World Impact
Over the course of several days, FIMA transforms into a living laboratory of sustainability, offering a diverse program of exhibitions, forums, workshops, and technical demonstrations. The event facilitates direct interaction between innovators and end-users, helping bridge the gap between research and real-world application.
Attendees can expect:
A comprehensive exhibition area with cutting-edge environmental technologies
National and international keynote speakers addressing climate change policy, environmental justice, and green financing
Interactive zones for environmental education and awareness
Business matchmaking and investment roundtables focused on green innovation
Success stories of environmental entrepreneurship across Latin America
FIMA fosters a 360-degree experience—where technical knowledge, commercial opportunities, and environmental values intersect to inspire collective action.
Who Participates in FIMA?
FIMA is distinguished by its multi-stakeholder inclusivity, making it a uniquely effective platform for forming alliances across sectors and borders.
The fair welcomes:
Environmental ministries and government agencies
Corporate sustainability leaders
Technology developers and clean-tech startups
NGOs and community-based organizations
Academic researchers and students
International development organizations and financial institutions
This diverse audience ensures that conversations reflect a balance of policy, practice, science, and public engagement.
FIMA and the Global Sustainability Agenda
In alignment with global initiatives like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), FIMA plays an essential role in connecting Latin America to the broader sustainability movement. The fair contributes directly to goals such as:
SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation
SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
SDG 13 – Climate Action
SDG 15 – Life on Land
By anchoring global aspirations in local and regional realities, FIMA makes sustainability tangible and achievable.
Emerging Trends and Technologies Showcased at FIMA
Each year, the fair highlights emerging trends that signal the next frontier of environmental transformation. These trends are not only theoretical but backed by innovations exhibited and demonstrated at the event.
Recent editions of FIMA have focused on:
Nature-based solutions (NbS) for climate adaptation
Green hydrogen as a decarbonization tool
Smart environmental monitoring systems powered by IoT and AI
Carbon markets and climate finance instruments for businesses
Sustainable urban planning and infrastructure
This cross-cutting approach is designed to empower governments, communities, and companies to scale up their environmental impact.
A Catalyst for Policy, Business, and Community Engagement
FIMA’s strength lies in its capacity to catalyze dialogue between sectors that don’t always have platforms to meet. It is equally a business expo, a public education event, and a strategic policy forum.
For exhibitors and policymakers, FIMA offers a chance to:
Launch pilot projects and test-market innovations
Promote environmental legislation and best practices
Identify synergies between conservation and economic growth
Mobilize public-private partnerships in sustainability
For the wider community, FIMA also acts as a beacon of environmental awareness, offering family-friendly programming, youth innovation challenges, and outreach to schools and civil society.
FIMA as a Beacon of Environmental Leadership in Latin America
In a region as ecologically rich and environmentally challenged as Latin America, FIMA stands out as a vital force for change. By elevating the Amazon Biome and fostering collaboration across industry and government, the fair demonstrates that sustainability is not an abstract goal—it’s a shared responsibility and an achievable mission.
As Latin American countries seek to balance growth with conservation, FIMA provides the tools, knowledge, and partnerships needed to make that vision a reality. For anyone invested in the future of our planet, this fair is not just an event—it is a movement.
