Trade fairs are still important events

Trade fairs are still important events for establishing contact with potential customers in
Germany. Germany hosts many major trade fairs for specific branches of manufacturing
industry. The EMO in Hanover is a major event, but the Landesmesse Stuttgart and Messe
Berlin are also important. Conferences and trade missions organised by Dutch government
bodies (agencies, a consulate or the embassy), the German-Dutch Chamber of Commerce
or consultants like Gateway to Germany can also provide valuable assistance in making initial
introductions.
