The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) is preparing to host 12 Antwerp-based diamond companies at its pavilion being set up for the Vicenzaoro First show. The event is scheduled to be held between January 16-21, 2010. The optimism reflected by the participating Belgium companies mirrors the financial recovery indicated in European markets, where countries are shown to have either left recession behind them or are on their way out of the economic slump. %% The Vicenzaoro First show for 2010 is expecting to host 1,500 exhibitors from 55 Italian provinces and 31 countries. The Antwerp Diamond Pavilion will be positioned in a prime spot in Padiglione G, Diamond Avenue, near Ingresso Est.
