Hello,
While there are many variables which can affect the overall cost of an exhibition, applying a cost per square metre is a reasonable place to start. In the UK, a figure of 2000 - 2500 pounds sterling per sq.m. would be considered a reasonable starting point for the "average" exhibition, but if you plan to include lots of high tech elements, I'd err on the side of generosity and say 3000 / sq. m.
That translates to 1.95 million in Sterling, or 2.75 million in Euros (I note the Spanish email address!). However, it could very easily vary by as much as 50% from this figure, depending on what assumptions you make and how you design and procure the exhibition.
Hope this helps.

A good rule of thumb is to compute your cost based on a low average of $250
(US) per square foot or roughly $2690 per square meter to a high average (technology heavy) of $750 per square foot or again about $8070 per square meter. Thus it appears that your project estimate could range from $1,748,500 to $5,245,500. As it appears that you are considering very high technology, it's probably best to determine the "per unit" or "per installation" costs for some of the more sophisticated (e.g. more expensive) complex media and add in these additional estimates to you final figure.
Good luck,
