We make your start-up visible
Far more than 2,500 of these companies have already exhibited at subsidised pavilions and start-up areas.
The popularity of the funding programme is obvious: Our experienced startup team provides support with all questions regarding the funding application and the organization of the trade fair appearance. Compared to an individual stand, the joint stand at international trade fairs is significantly cheaper - and also attracts much more attention for the individual startup!
We were the first exhibition company in Germany to actively campaign for federal support for new businesses, and today we're still promoting that support among the community of start-up founders.
Subsidised pavilions for "Young Innovators"
The “Young Innovators” pavilion enables young companies to introduce themselves to the specialist public at leading international trade fairs and present product innovations. As an experienced specialist for start-ups and young companies, we organize the joint stand and provide participants with advice and support. From registration to the trade fair appearance. Participants also receive free participation tips from AUMA, the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry.
Germany's Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) reimburses up to 60% of your booth expense. You won't find a lower-priced way to attend a leading international trade fair!
Conditions for participation
Your advantages
We're still a start-up. Without BAFA's and AUMA's support and without the NürnbergMesse crew, we'd never have had the trade fair expertise or manpower to exhibit at BIOFACH.
"Young Innovators" are organised at the following leading international exhibitions:
Additional start-up options
In addition to the sponsored joint stands, the NürnbergMesse Startup Hub also offers special startup areas and other services for young companies. Within the Startup Area, startups benefit from the special location and the additional attention from trade visitors and the media. It is also worth registering for one of the many startup competitions and awards. Because not only the winner, but all participants can use the competition as a stage for their own innovations.
Startup pitches, panel discussions on startup-relevant topics, and special guided tours to the startups at the respective trade fair round out our initiatives and participation opportunities for startups.
