Manila FAME serves as a canvas for the country\u2019s skillful artisans, providing a platform that nurtures creative freedom and design innovation among entrepreneurs and presents an accurate reflection of the Philippines\u2019 vibrant and multi-layered cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

It is the second longest-running trade show in the Asia-Pacific and is the only trade event in the country that is approved by Union des Foires Internationales (UFI), or the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, a Paris-based association of trade fair organizers founded 90 years ago in Milan, Italy in April 1925.<\/p>\n

The bi-annual trade show brings together exporters, designers and retail brands from all over the country under one roof to highlight Filipino artistry in the global marketplace. Manila FAME features finely selected products designed and crafted by homegrown MSMEs in the home, furniture, lighting, holiday and gifts, fashion, visual arts and \u201cfood as gifts\u201d sectors for the global market.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Mission (CITEM), the export promotions arm of the Department of Trade and Industry, Manila FAME aims to strengthen the country\u2019s position as a viable source of high-quality export products, and design-forward home d\u00e9cor and housewares.<\/p>\n

\u201cManila FAME has always been a platform to showcase the country\u2019s best, from acclaimed artisans to up-and-coming young designers. It gives the opportunity to international buyers to experience Filipino design and source unique and innovative pieces from local MSMEs. With the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry\u2019s strengthened capacity building programs for Filipino enterprises, exporters are more equipped than ever to cater to the global market,\u201d said Senior Trade Commissioner Maria Roseni Alvero.<\/p>\n

Manila FAME provides international entrepreneurs a venue for direct business transactions with buyers from the Philippines and from all over the world. Buyer Care Services before, during and after the Trade Show are available to registered foreign buyers.\u00a0 These include assistance in travel arrangements, complimentary transportation from the airport and to the trade show venue, and pre-arranged appointments with exhibitors.\u00a0 A line-up of additional incentives are also available for overseas trade buyers accepted into the Very Important Buyer (VIB) Program, including airfare incentives and complimentary hotel stays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough Manila FAME, we hope to recognize exceptional products and designers who continue to innovate and redefine the Philippine design imprint and elevate the Philippine brand internationally,\u201d Senior Trade Commissioner Alvero said.<\/p>\n
