Venue & exhibition site

Efintec is associated with Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via exhibition complex in Barcelona. The most recent editions have used the Gran Via venue, where the exhibition has benefited from a larger and more modern environment than the event’s previous Montjuïc location. The organizer announced the move to Gran Via as part of Efintec’s expansion and development.

Venue: Fira de Barcelona – Gran Via

Address: Av. Joan Carles I, 64, 08908 L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain

The venue provides extensive exhibition infrastructure, public transport connections, parking facilities, restaurants and services for professional visitors. The Gran Via complex is also well connected to Barcelona’s metropolitan transport network.

The exact hall allocation for the 2027 edition should be confirmed when the organizer releases its final exhibition information.
