We make your start-up visible

The subsidized joint stands for startups and other special startup formats offered by NürnbergMesse are extremely popular: well over 2,500 young companies have already used these platforms to present their innovations to an international audience.

Why? It's simple:

  • Significantly lower costs compared to an individual booth
  • Maximum visibility thanks to a central location and eye-catching advertising measures
  • Professional support from the experienced startup team – from the funding application to the trade fair appearance

Take advantage of this stage to successfully showcase your startup!

 

Your advantages

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 trade fair appearance, including valuable participation tips from our trade fair experts.

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

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.

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.
