Barcelona | The cranes are in place at the Fira Gran Via exhibition center, and construction is progressing well. Over the next two years, a new mega exhibition hall will be built opposite the south entrance in the home of Europe’s biggest ProAV show, ISE. This new hall is urgently needed because the current exhibition halls are nearing their capacity for ISE 2025.
At the height of summer, the Fira Gran Via is almost unrecognizable. While Barcelona is packed with tourists, the exhibition center remains quiet. However, across the street, a construction site is bustling with activity.
The two-story Hall Zero will provide 25% more exhibition space, which is urgently needed since ISE is quickly outgrowing the current exhibition grounds in Barcelona. What better sign of industry health than a world-leading trade fair pushing the limits of its venue?
However, we will have to wait until ISE 2027, as construction on the new Hall Zero is set to be completed by December 2026. Until then, it’s time to make the most of the available space, build upwards, and get creative.
