Organized by the City Council of San Vicente de Alcántara with a biannual character in the month of April, the International Cork Fair fulfills a double mission. On the one hand, the economic revitalization of the cork sector, providing the opportunity to contact wineries, sommeliers, oenologists and sectors that have an impact on the local economy, increasing the sale of stoppers and corks in general. On the other hand, the objective is to highlight the importance of the culture associated with cork together with the environmental values ​​of this product, such as sustainability, contributing to the conservation of the cork oak ecosystem, resulting in a 100% biodegradable product.

The Multipurpose Pavilion of the town is in charge of hosting the event, in which an extensive program of activities is developed that includes conferences, exhibitions, workshops, gastronomy, crafts and nature. Added to this are the stands of local and foreign companies and institutions that in one way or another have something to say in the world of cork, as well as a sample of local food, craft or active tourism firms, which have its space in the Parque de España.

The International Cork Fair has the support of the main institutions, such as the Junta de Extremadura, Retecork (Network of Cork Territories), the Center for Scientific and Technological Research of Extremadura (Cicytex), the Association of Cork Entrepreneurs (Asecor) , the Diputación de Badajoz, the Tourist Board, the Association of Municipalities of Sierra de San Pedro and the City Council of San Vicente de Alcántara.

In this context, CICYTEX partners made a presentation on the "Manual of natural materials in construction. Introduction of cork in the market. LIFE ReNatural NZEB Project".
