Fira de Barcelona is a leading European trade fair institution headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. Established in 1932, its core business revolves around organizing and hosting a wide array of trade shows, congresses, and corporate events. The institution operates as a public consortium, jointly owned by the Barcelona City Council, the Catalan Government, and the Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona, combining public ownership with autonomous business management. Its mission is to promote business development, foster innovation, and advance sustainability, contributing significantly to the economic and social well-being of Barcelona and its surrounding areas.

Fira de Barcelona manages a substantial portfolio of events, hosting over 300 fairs, congresses, and corporate gatherings annually, attracting approximately 30,000 direct and represented companies and 3 million visitors from over 200 countries. It operates three primary venues: the historic Montjuïc, the modern Gran Via, and the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB). From January 2025, Fira de Barcelona also assumed management of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, further diversifying its event capabilities. The institution provides comprehensive services for exhibitors, organizers, and visitors, and offers strategic consultancy to other international venues and operators.

Under the leadership of Pau Relat i Vidal as Chairman of the Governing Board and Constantí Serrallonga i Tintoré as General Manager, Fira de Barcelona maintains a prominent position in the international trade fair market. The institution's activities generate an estimated economic impact exceeding €6.1 billion annually for the region and support over 49,000 jobs.
