For Messe Berlin, events in 2018 are on course to achieve the group’s best performance to date and double-digit growth in turnover. Messe Berlin currently expects group turnover to reach 347 million euros in 2018, which is 12 per cent higher compared with 2016 (308 mio. euros) and the highest figure to date in the company’s history.
In 2018 Messe Berlin further increased its standing as an organiser of events on the subject of digitalisation. According to Dr. Christian Göke, CEO of Messe Berlin, ”trade fairs and congresses on IT and digitalisation are alive and well. IFA has been the world’s trade show on digitalisation in the consumer electronics and home appliances sector for many years, and DMEA has established itself successfully as Europe’s leading trade fair on digitalisation in the medical sector. In 2018 we continued along this path by launching new events.”
In November the debut took place of the Smart Country Convention, a trade fair and congress on digitalisation of local government and public services. Under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, co-organised with the industry association Bitkom, and with Denmark as its partner country, the first edition of this event set standards and played host to 500 speakers and numerous partners representing local government, politics and science. Also in November, the second edition of droidcon ‘made by Messe Berlin’ took place in San Francisco. In June, Messe Berlin had previously organised droidcon at the City Cube Berlin. The event is the world’s leading independent series of conferences for Android developers.
In August 2018 the first stage of the Messe Berlin master plan came to fruition with the topping-out ceremony of hub27 Berlin, a multi-purpose hall for trade fairs and congresses with an attendance capacity of 11,500. The total cost of hub27 Berlin is 75 million euros. What is currently Messe Berlin’s biggest construction project is within its budget and time limit and is due to be completed in April 2019. Beginning in 2019, Messe Berlin will modernise existing halls and buildings over the next 15 years.
