Attractive trade fairs on offer for 2026

Trade fairs in Germany and abroad remain essential platforms for companies to showcase products and solutions to a broad industry audience and establish valuable business contacts.

The “Simply.TradeShow” (“Einfach.Messe”) service provided by the State Development Corporation of Thuringia (LEG) gives Thuringian companies an efficient and cost-effective way to participate in various industry events this year.

The all-inclusive service covers the complete preparation and organization of attention-grabbing joint booths, allowing exhibitors to concentrate fully on presenting their products and services. In addition, participating companies may generally be eligible for reimbursement of up to 50 percent of booth construction and rental costs through incentive programs.

The 2026 trade fair program includes established events such as Hannover Messe (April) and the Fakuma plastics trade fair (October). A new addition this year is the Smart Country Convention (October), which focuses on digitalization in public administration.

Detailed information on joint stands, costs, and registration procedures is available here (in German only).
