Science needs visibility. We create the stage.

From the initial idea to the finished trade fair booth: we accompany your trade fair presentation step by step.

For universities, trade fairs are much more than just an exhibition. They are places for dialog, create trust and open up direct access to relevant target groups from business, politics, media and society.

  • Presenting KIT as an innovative science location
  • Visibility and profile building for your research

  • Direct contact with decision-makers from business, politics and the media

  • Promotion of technology transfer through exchange with industry and the public

  • Perception by young talents and specialist audiences

  • Positioning of current research priorities in the economic policy context

Our services

KIT's trade fair service supports you with a professional offer that is precisely tailored to your needs. We offer a comprehensive service for your trade fair appearance, from the first consultation to the finished trade fair stand. With flexible formats such as the mobile KIT exhibition booth, participation in a joint stand or a customized individual booth construction, we present your research visibly and convincingly.

Our offer has a modular structure and can be flexibly adapted to your needs. We would be happy to create a customized service package for you. You can find an overview of our modules with the corresponding prices in the internal price sheet (only accessible from the KIT network).

We also organize accompanying industry exhibitions for congresses or conferences at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

The representation of KIT - and thus Germany as a host country - at the "Thessaloniki International Fair" 2024 in Greece was a complete success and a special experience for everyone involved. Thanks to the commitment of all KIT participants, valuable visibility, diverse exchange, new perspectives and important points of contact were created for KIT. The close cooperation impressively demonstrated what is possible together. Many thanks to the event management for the precise organization, the high quality and the committed support at all times - a central contribution to the overall success!
