102 years of Koelnmesse

Since 1924, Koelnmesse has been a place where people come together, ideas grow and the future takes shape. What once started as a regional trade fair company has developed into one of the world’s leading trade fair companies, with events in Cologne and international markets around the globe.

Whether through leading international trade fairs such as gamescom, Anuga, ISM Cologne or DMEXCO, our events bring industries together, drive innovation and create spaces for exchange, inspiration and new perspectives. Every year, millions of visitors and exhibitors from around the world make Koelnmesse a meeting place for business, culture and social dialogue.

For more than a century, Koelnmesse has also been closely connected to the city of Cologne. It shapes the city, creates jobs, brings international guests to the Rhine and is an important driver for business, tourism and personal exchange. At the same time, our network now extends far beyond Cologne. Through events and partnerships across several continents, we connect people and markets worldwide.

Especially in times of constant change, it becomes clear how important trust, personal encounters and open dialogue truly are. This is what we stand for as Koelnmesse yesterday, today and in the future.

Our special thanks go to all colleagues, partners, customers and long-standing supporters who have helped shape Koelnmesse over many decades and continue to contribute to its success today. Without you, this success story would not be possible. 🧡
