EuroShop is the largest, most important shopfitting, display, PoP and exhibition systems exhibition in the world. It is held every three years. In 2008 it attracted over 1,800 exhibitors from 50 countries and 100,000 visitors from more than 90 countries.
EuroShop is a truly international event with over 50 per cent of the visitors and exhibitors coming from outside Germany.

See below for information on grants.
Grants are available for UK companies wishing to promote their retail display products and services overseas by exhibiting at EuroShop. Here are the key points:-
- Grants of £1,400 are available per company - UK Trade & Investment will pay grants to UK based small and medium size companies which do not currently have a substantial export business*. The objective is to help such companies to learn how to use exhibitions as a key tool in their trade development plans.
- Previous recipients can apply again - The old system has been scrapped. The new system offers grants at up to 6 events from 1 April 2009.
- Exhibitors may exhibit in any of the 15 halls - There will be no group stand as such. Companies will book their space with the organisers either through the British Agent or online while sdea organises the grants. We will advise on stand location if you are unsure which hall or section is most appropriate for you.
- Stand space is very competitively priced - Rates are around €200 per m2 for space only (depending on how many open sides you choose) and standfitting will be available through the sdea appointed stand contractor for those who require it. A 22 page brochure on EuroShop is available here. Alternatively, please contact Vanessa Darby of ITSL (the British Agents for the Fair) on 01442 230033 or email: vanessa@itsluk.com
- sdea will undertake the administration - We will charge a small management fee of £387 towards our costs (£287 for sdea members). We will arrange publicity, appoint specialist standfitting, travel and freight contractors and have experienced staff on hand throughout the planning stages leading up to the event itself. We will also be onsite during the Fair.
