Köln ist Messestadt<br />

<strong>Cologne</strong> is a trade fair centre<br />

Around 44,000 exhibiting companies from 120 countries and 2.5 million visitors come to<br />

Koelnmesse each year, the world’s fifth largest trade fair and exhibition site (284,000 m 2 exhibition<br />

area, 100,000 m² outdoor area). With the slogan “We energize your business”, Koeln messe<br />

organises over 70 specialised trade fairs and exhibitions in Germany and abroad. In 2010, these<br />

specialists were responsible for the German pavilion at the Shanghai Expo.<br />

The trade fairs here are more international than anywhere else in the world – this makes <strong>Cologne</strong> an<br />

important trading location. On average, more than 60 % of exhibitors and over one-third of visitors<br />

come from abroad. Hosting such events as Anuga, imm cologne, photokina and ISM, Koelnmesse is<br />

the world’s leading trade fair organiser for around 25 industries, with representative offices in over 80<br />

countries. <strong>Cologne</strong> and the entire region benefit from the market-specific expertise that comes with<br />

them, as well as an international network and the innovative fair concepts.<br />
