According to the organizer DECHEMA, ACHEMA 2024 is set to be the most international edition in the trade fair’s history. With approximately 60% of exhibitors hailing from abroad, this year’s event establishes a new standard as the premier trade fair for the global process industry. From June 10 to 14, over 2,800 exhibitors from more than 50 countries are expected to gather in Frankfurt, joined by participants from 130 countries.
The significant participation of international exhibitors highlights ACHEMA’s growing global importance. Compared to the previous event, we’ve seen over a 25% increase in exhibitor registrations, and the exhibition space is nearly a third larger than before.
