The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of digitalisation in the insurance industry and contribute to shaping the industry's InsurTech future. "The new trade fair format offers full solutions for the insurance industry and covers the entire value chain, including upstream and downstream industries. As a trade fair with an integrated congress, insureNXT|CGN will be the central platform for the insurance industry," explains Gerald Böse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH.
The two-day event will focus on Insurance Technology (InsurTech) and digital transformation from the perspective of insurers and startups. A cross-industry approach as well as integration of an academic and career-specific conference round off the event.
Additional partners are currently being integrated into insureNXT|CGN to ensure it is perfectly tailored to the target group. "insureNXT|CGN will be a new platform that brings together multiple formats from independent partners. The congress trade fair is unique in its comprehensiveness and offers participants countless opportunities to make contacts and instigate new projects," says Dr. Mathias Bühring-Uhle, Chairman of Gothaer and InsurLab Germany.
InsurLab Germany e.V. has been active in Cologne since 2017 and is one of a total of twelve digital hubs designated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi). Within this context, InsurLab Germany forms one of the leading InsurTech competence centres and is dedicated to digitalisation of the insurance industry in Germany.
As sponsor and co-organiser of insureNXT|CGN, InsurLab Germany will be using its broad network of startups, leading technology providers and service providers, scientific representatives and experts from the German insurance industry to benefit the congress fair: "Germany has lacked an event that covers all the facets of our industry and includes the increasing influence of technologies, startups and cross-industry contexts. We are delighted to be closing this gap and developing Cologne into a hotspot for the international InsurTech scene together with Koelnmesse," says Sebastian Pitzler, Managing Director of InsurLab Germany. The initiative already involves 77 insurance companies, including more than 30 established insurers and over 20 InsurTech startups.
North Rhine-Westphalia and Cologne are considered to be important insurance locations. Hardly any other location has such a broad insurance infrastructure: 25 percent of the people working in the German insurance industry (around 77,000) work in NRW. Of around 670 insurance companies throughout Germany, approximately 20 percent (over 70 companies) are based in Cologne. And that is not all. Historically, the first global insurance company was located in Cologne.
The insureNXT|CGN primarily caters to industry insiders and will take place annually starting in 2020.

IDS 2021: VDDI and Koelnmesse postpone the International Dental Show from March until autumn 2021
With a view to the unchanged challenges the Corona pandemic is raising in Germany and the anticipated continuation of the extensive restriction of personal contacts by the Government, States and municipalities at the beginning of the new year, the VDDI board, the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der DentalIndustrie mbH (GFDI) (the commercial enterprise of the VDDI) and Koelnmesse have decided to postpone IDS - the International Dental Show. The trade fair that was originally planned to take place from 10 to 13 March, will now be held from 22 to 25 September 2021. The organisers are taking this step in reaction to the currently ongoing Corona policy, which may be extended in Germany into the new year. By postponing the 39th edition of IDS to the September, the organisers are hoping that due to the then anticipated, improved health situation and relaxation of the travel restrictions more international partners and customers will travel to Cologne.

This question is one of the key themes at this year’s Anuga FoodTec. To minimise the consumer protection risks and guarantee the authenticity of the foodstuffs, the international supplier fair for the food and beverage industry provides information on the latest technologies and services. The agenda focuses on trends and the residue analytics process as well as on current approaches for the prevention of food fraud. Experts estimate that around ten percent of the food and raw materials traded worldwide are affected by food fraud.
