Luxembourg ‘s Chamber of Commerce recently announced its Trade Fair Programme for 2025-2026. which includes a both national pavilions and trade fair visits, most of which are complimented by side-events or B2B opportunities.
A national pavilion is where the chamber organises a large group stand with space for individual company (exhibition) stands under the Luxembourg "umbrella" stand at a relatively low cost ,while not having to worry about any stand building issues and benefitting from joint promotional efforts.
A trade fair visit allows the discovery of the latest trends of a sector during a one-to-three day group visit. Most trade fair visits include B2B meetings and/or side events.
A side event is an event organised during a trade fair in order to enhance networking opportunities and to promote Luxembourg amongst the trade fair’s target group.
Trade fairs in all of Luxembourg’s leading sectors: industry, space, IT, transport, defence, healthtech, environment, real estate and many more are included in both programmes, which cover EU countries as well as overseas markets, such as the UK, the USA and Australia.
26 Trade Fairs for 2025 and eight for 2026 have so far been announced.
According to the organiser, Go International, a department at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, trade fairs are an important tool in creating opportunities for companies to meet new and existing contacts as well as to remain updated on the latest market trends. Companies are being encouraged to participate in the upcoming fairs for the following reasons:
