Welcome  Europe’s leading role and success has always been intertwined with its unique position as a meeting- and marketplace for ideas, people and businesses to come together. The trust gained through face-to-face meetings is equally instilled within European culture and values.

The European events and exhibition industry champions this spirit of connectivity which enables Europe to act as a global center of innovation and trade. In a globalised economy, Europe needs to retain its competitive edge. Thanks to a strong culture of research and entrepreneurship focused on risk-taking and innovation, and within the right economic and political environment, Europe will succeed.

We, the European events and exhibition industry, offer platforms for European researchers and businesses to innovate, invest and expand both in Europe and on the international stage. We facilitate high level scientific, B2B and B2C interactions where people share knowledge, collaborate and experience new products to solve the challenges of tomorrow. We also enable policymakers to meet with top scientists and industry leaders, to look into their innovations and to debate their needs.

We aspire to continue contributing to a sustainable world and regional development by generating social and economic benefits, such as jobs and growth in a variety of sectors. We will do our utmost to help Europe increase its competitiveness, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit to thrive as a global leader.
