Directorate of International Book Exhibitions and Fairs
To me, book projects have always been about far more than programmes, exhibition stands, meetings, or visitor numbers. They are about ideas, cultural memory, and the future of our society. Books remain one of the few spaces where people encounter not only a text, but also themselves, their history, and new ways of seeing the world.
Today, it is more important than ever to create platforms where literature is presented in ways that are contemporary, professional, and far-reaching—where authors, publishers, readers, libraries, regions, and international partners come together in a meaningful dialogue rather than existing in isolation. For the publishing industry, these projects become points of connection where new ideas, partnerships, voices, and opportunities for growth emerge.
I believe that by supporting books, we support far more than an industry. We strengthen society’s ability to think, to feel, to question, to understand, and to grow.
