Koelnmesse · Location

A global trade fair center at the heart of Europe

Cologne as a business location. Germany’s fourth-largest city is also the center of Europe’s biggest economic cluster and a hub of the European transport network. It offers you unique global connections: around 180 million Europeans are only an hour away by plane and they generate about 40 percent of Europe’s entire GDP. The Cologne region is home to companies from the insurance and financial sectors as well as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to being the leading center of the automotive industry, it has nine TV stations, 100 TV studios, production firms, newspaper companies and book publishers – making it the top location for media and the games industry. Good connections. The Cologne-Bonn international airport is directly connected with over 100 destinations. Thanks to the highspeed InterCity Express rail links, you can quickly reach four other international airports: Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels and Düsseldorf.

Koelnmesse · Location

And here is the best part: The train stops at the Köln Messe/Deutz ICE station directly at the exhibition grounds. And with 1,700 trains stopping in Cologne daily, you’re sure to have a trouble-free journey. What’s more, ten motorways in the Cologne area connect you to Europe’s major transport axes. Exciting and cosmopolitan. Cologne’s real hallmark is the people who live here. 500 km

Tolerant, cosmopolitan and hospitable, they give this cathedral city its special flair. And this metropolis of one million inhabitants also fascinates visitors with its cultural offerings. There’s a wealth of museums, theatres and art galleries. And you can sample the “Cologne way of life” in the city’s many restaurants, pubs and breweries. Whichever part of the world you’re coming from, Cologne offers you an attractive business environment and many ways to relax after a busy and successful day at the fair.
