Germany is the world's leading centre for international trade fairs. Five of the top ten global trade fair companies, as well as around two-thirds of the world’s leading trade fairs have their home in Germany. Around 180,000 exhibitors and more than 10 million visitors are taking part in the 150 international trade fairs and exhibitions in Germany every year. Attending trade fairs is a crucial and cost efficient part of a company's marketing efforts. With their international appeal, German trade fairs provide great forums for purchasing & selling products and ideas, decision-making and gathering market intelligence.
