As the flagship event of the sector, EuroBLECH has successfully fostered a culture of innovation, pushing progress within the industry. This year’s event will host many young companies and new participants alongside well-known global players, giving visitors exclusive access to an ever broader array of fresh ideas and technologies. One out of five companies in the halls will be a new exhibitor, and a dedicated ‘Young Innovators’ Pavilion in Hall 15 will feature promising start-ups from Germany. Besides Germany, major exhibitor countries for 2024 are Italy, Turkey, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, India, Finland, France, and the USA. Around 64% of all exhibitors are based outside Germany.
