German trade fairs are an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest technologies, keep up to date on market trends, and meet potential business partners. I help tech companies from all around the world to make the most of German industry events and create a greater number of relevant leads.
Why hire me for Trade Shows in Germany?
Attending German trade shows entails a financial commitment, particularly for exhibitors from abroad.
Therefore, it is especially critical for start-ups or smaller businesses lacking extensive marketing budgets to identify the events that best serve their objectives, be it gathering information and identifying potential partners or presenting new products or services and acquiring German customers.
Many technology-driven firms attend the Hannover Messe industry fair year after year, unaware that smaller, more specialized events may be a much better fit for their requirements.
I will support you in making the best choices regarding which trade shows and events to attend yourself (or where to be represented by me) and how to allocate your marketing budget to gain the best results.

Roger Euliss, VP Business Development (USA)
As a CEO of Supeo Group I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Miss Andra Riemhofer. She is one of the most serious and dedicated people I have worked with. She was given the task to identify and contact customer prospects in Germany to conduct a market survey preparing our entry into the German market. Her approach was perfect and she took her time understanding not only our products but our “why”. She also assisted us at InnoTrans 2016 where she did a great job representing our company both in German and English. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Miss Riemhofer is the real deal and I gladly give her my best recommendations.
