TRADE FAIRS AND SERVICES

THE INTERMEDIARIES

Every creative service needs the right partner, market access, and customers who are willing to open their wallets and contribute financially.

Service providers play a crucial role by serving as intermediaries between the product range, partners, market and customers. These are the connectors to open channels to networks, business partners or target groups for the IT, media and creative industries. They do this in every area, from the local scene to the global economy.

CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PRODUCTS, PARTNERS AND PUBLISHERS

The city of Leipzig boasts a long tradition as a marketplace and has been a trade fair city for 850 years. The so-called "Mustermesse" or sample fair was invented in this city during the Wilhelminian era - a concept that later spread all over the world.

Today, Leipzig's national and international trade fairs, congresses and conferences play a pivotal role in promoting economic development. Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH "Do it at Leipzig" services are available for planning meetings and events.
