Messe Frankfurt raises the bar for growth

Messe Frankfurt has left the difficult and demanding last three years behind it and is now enjoying both qualitative and quantitative growth in Germany and abroad. By the end of financial year 2023, approximately 340 events will have been held worldwide under the Messe Frankfurt Group umbrella, with more than 84,000 exhibitors and an estimated four million visitors. After a strong core business in 2023 with sales in excess of €600 million, the company is planning further growth in 2024 – a year in which a relatively high number of events are scheduled – and expects sales to be comparable with the previous record year 2019. Messe Frankfurt will increase its international competitiveness by investing in its worldwide core business, modern technology and sustainable event management.

Good to know where it comes from: Messe Frankfurt obtains environmentally friendly solar power from the Uckermark region of Germany from Mainova AG

Messe Frankfurt will continue to rely on a climate-neutral energy supply from 100 per cent green electricity. From 2024, Messe Frankfurt will obtain 30 per cent of its electricity requirements from the "Boitzenburger Land" solar park being built in the Uckermark region. To this end, it has concluded a corresponding Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Frankfurt-based energy service provider Mainova AG with a term of ten years. Mainova holds a 25 percent stake in the "Boitzenburger Land" solar park. The solar park, which is expected to go into operation in spring 2023, is one of the largest in Germany. Mainova plans to purchase and market the entire electricity yield of 180 gigawatt hours per year. In purely mathematical terms, this corresponds to the environmentally friendly energy supply of 64,000 households and an annual saving of 85,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
