The idea of the historic Silk Road has a contemporary counterpart: Messe Düsseldorf's Silk Road, which connects established and new markets and, like its historical counterpart, stretches from Western Europe to the Far East. In his new editorial, our President & CEO, Wolfram Diener, explains how this idea can help companies identify the right markets for success – and how it reinforces the role of our home base, Düsseldorf, as a global business hub.

100 days to go until Milano/Cortina 2026. As an official key partner of Team Deutschland, we wish all athletes every success and above all a healthy preparation period. Together with additional partners around Deutsche Sport Marketing (DSM), we co-organise the Deutsches Haus at Golf Club Cortina d’Ampezzo and bring our know-how to create a home for Team Deutschland and a hub for media and networking. The location above the traditional ski resort offers a unique atmosphere and short distances: bobsleigh, luge and skeleton, the women’s alpine events, and the curling tournament take place close by. #100DaysToGo #MilanoCortina2026 #DeutschesHaus #TeamD #TeamDeutschland #JetztFürImmer #Olympics

Breast cancer affects around 2.3 million women worldwide each year, with about 670,000 deaths. Early detection significantly improves healing and shortens treatment. We used #Pinktober to raise awareness across our workforce. Together with Krebsgesellschaft NRW e. V., we held an on-site session that covered risk factors and screening and included a hands-on demonstration of breast self-examination using silicone training models. #Pinktober #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #SDG3

Every year, nearly 900,000 tons of e-waste are generated in Germany – much of it from companies replacing IT equipment. Messe Düsseldorf chose a smarter path: refurbishing instead of discarding. For six years, we have partnered with AfB, a non-profit IT refurbisher. The results speak for themselves: - 10,000 devices given a second life since 2019 - 65,000 kg of CO₂ saved in 2024 alone – equal to 12 trips around the globe by car - 500,000 liters of water preserved This approach doesn’t just reduce our environmental footprint – it also lowers disposal costs, ensures compliance with IT security standards, and strengthens our role as a responsible business partner. And sustainability, efficiency, and social value go hand in hand: 50% of AfB’s employees are people with disabilities. ➡️ Read more about the cooperation and the benefits that come with it: https://lnkd.in/ew36saEj

Handshakes with impact Messe Düsseldorf brings leading Saudi-Arabian decision-makers to our region and connects the industry with one of the world’s fastest-growing markets: the Middle East. We were honored to welcome Prince Saud Turki Al Faisal Al Saud, Chairman of the Riyadh Exhibitions Company, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (REC), and Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, to this year's K – The World's No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber. Their visit sends a clear signal: Messe Düsseldorf is strengthening its global network and fostering strategic partnerships that open new horizons for our customers and partners worldwide. Already in May, Prince Saud Turki Al Faisal Al Saud and Wolfram Diener, President & CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, signed a Memorandum of Understanding marking a partnership to enhance Saudi Plastics & Petrochem and Saudi Print & Pack through Messe Düsseldorf’s leading global trade fairs K, interpack, and drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies. A highlight of the high-level visit was a roundtable discussion, where Minister Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef engaged with representatives of German companies and exhibitors from all three trade shows. He shared inspiring insights into Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, highlighting promising opportunities and touchpoints for international businesses in the Kingdom. This important visit underscores our commitment: Our expansion in Saudi Arabia is a key element of our growth strategy in the Middle East – enabling Messe Düsseldorf to further expand its global leadership position while reinforcing Düsseldorf’s role as a strong, future-ready trade fair hub. #MesseDüsseldorf #K2025 #REC #MiddleEast #SaudiArabia #GulfRegion #TradeFairs #Partnership #Vision2030
