We act as a marketing partner to our customers in the following industry sectors and clusters:
Consumer Goods
Whether as an article of daily use or a design object - the world of consumer goods makes up an important economic factor. Moreover, it is the source of one thing, above all: pure emotion.
Globalisation, digitisation and new forms of distribution are rapidly changing the industry. Messe Frankfurt organises around 30 industry events worldwide - from leading international trade fairs to regional events. With the Conzoom Circle network, it connects the trade fairs and opens up new opportunities to all stakeholders in the global consumer goods market.
Building Technologies
Digitisation, networking, safety and security are some of the most pressing issues of our time. Messe Frankfurt has 26 events in Europe, Asia and South America that address these themes and offer key solutions. They provide innovative interaction platforms for efficient building management, intelligent networking, security of supply, design and sustainable usage of scarce resources, namely energy and water. The two international flagship events ISH and Light + Building are of particular interest here.

Messe Frankfurt is one of the world’s leading organisers of events for the growth field of civil security, with eleven events in Asia, Germany, the Middle East, Russia, South America and East Africa. We have responded to the growing global market in this sector by offering an excellent means of gaining access to the world’s most dynamic regions with international brands such as Intersec and Secutech.
Environmental Technologies
The increasing scarcity of fossil fuels, growing global energy demand, access to clean water, waste disposal and recycling are all amongst the major challenges facing the world in future.

Eco Expo Asia is an example of the platforms we offer throughout the world to foster exchange in the growing market for environmental technology.
