For small and medium-sized companies in particular, participation in trade fairs abroad can be an excellent springboard to export, which is supported as part of NRW’s foreign trade promotion program.
At joint company stands of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia abroad, companies present their services and products at favorable conditions directly in the target markets. These stands are well placed and attract visitors with their spacious, modern and open design.
The exhibition stands are professionally designed by experienced architects and stand builders, so that a good long-distance effect is achieved and thus the attention of visitors is guaranteed. The offer includes, among other things, a turnkey exhibition stand including the stand technology, cross-company advertising measures, the collective transport of the exhibits and the supporting program of the event. In addition, a professionally qualified NRW state representative is available as stand manager at the state community stands.
A distinction is made between stands at which only North Rhine-Westphalian companies exhibit (NRW joint company stands) and federal government stands at which NRW participates (Info Service Center at federal joint company stands). The joint company stands are sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalization and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The German Pavilion is sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy – BMWi.
