Known as the fair capital, Germany lies in the heart of Europe, in the center of the European home market. In the year 2005 totaling 1.300 billion EUR in imports and exports, Germany is one of the leading economic countries in the world. This can be seen very clearly at the fairs throughout the country.
Approximately two-thirds of the top international fairs take place in Germany. This includes 130 till 150 international and national specialized fairs annually. 167,000 exhibitors (more than 50% from foreign countries) and nearly 10 million visitors (which includes 1,9 million from foreign countries) come together to build the global magnetism at these events. From more than 190 countries, market partners participate as both visitors and exhibitors. With these results, Germany ranks No.1 in the world for its fairs. The success factors that make Germany such a "fair" place include: foreign markets that are close-to-home, the high quality of existing fairgrounds, continuity with world-wide leading fairs, and cooperations as well as consistent dialogue with their market partners. On these occasions, one thing becomes clear: Fairs are events of the senses where innovative present realities join with future visions. > more AUMA .
