Fairs and exhibitions Germany

The Leipzig Trade Fair Centre (Messegelände) opened its doors at the end of the 1990s. It is one of the most modern of its kind in terms of architecture and the distribution of spaces. It has a gigantic surface area, in particular a fully covered perimeter, of 112,000 square metres spread over several halls, which includes a huge glass bubble (Glashalle) 238 metres long, 80 metres wide and 30 metres high. The exhibition centre is located north of Leipzig, on the road to the airport and Halle. It attracts more than 1.2 million visitors from all over the world each year. The events it stages are varied, rich in economic and technical exchanges (as is the case with OTWorld), cultural encounters (examples:the Buchmesse or the Mutec) and family and general public events (the Haus, Garten und Freizeit home and leisure fair, among others). Year after year, Leipzig is thus establishing itself as a strategic trade fair centre on a German and European scale. It owes this to its privileged geographical position, at the crossroads of today's Eastern and Western Europe, but above all to the dynamism of the Leipziger Messe group, which coordinates each of its events.

The main fair in Hanover is usually held in April, with the theme energy and its resources.

Twice a year in January and July, the German capital dresses up for Fashion Week. Of course, Berlin cannot compete with Paris and Milan, but it can count on its creative and innovative industries. Its various fairs and fashion shows take place in unusual places such as the former Tempelhof airport or the former Kraftwerk power plant. Berlin Fashion Week is also known for its focus on sustainable and renewable trends. Themes of sustainability, inclusion and innovation are at the heart of the event.
