  • New trade fair in Lucerne

    New trade fair in Lucerne

    Messe Luzern AG is launching Terra Solid, a trade fair dedicated entirely to the complex interplay between foundation engineering, infrastructure and natural hazards. At a time when civil engineering projects are increasing and climate-related risks are growing, the trade fair is responding to an urgent need in the industry for exchange, orientation and concrete solutions in a specialised format. Exhibition Director Elio Cavazzutti emphasises: “Terra Solid is more than just a product show, it is a platform, knowledge centre and meeting place for professionals with responsibility.”

    Future topics at the centre
    The B2B platform is aimed at professionals from planning, science, authorities and the construction industry. The focus is on innovations in building materials, digital solutions in risk management, sustainable construction methods and protection systems against natural hazards. The exhibitors are organised in two clearly structured segments. On the one hand, planning and service providers and, on the other, manufacturers and contractors.

    A specialist forum with expert presentations, discussion rounds and networking zones rounds off the programme. The exchange is intended to provide impetus for sustainable, resilient and technically advanced solutions, from urban development planning to slope stabilisation.

    Strong partnerships – high credibility
    With the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN as a patronage partner and other organisations such as InfraSuisse, Terra Solid receives strong support from research, practice and politics. Direct access to specialist knowledge and the latest research also makes the trade fair attractive for strategically-minded investors and site developers.

    Hybrid thinking and active 365 days a year
    Thanks to the live content marketing concept, Terra Solid is not only active during the trade fair days; exhibitors can also present their expertise, projects and events online. This creates a digital platform that enables networking, knowledge transfer and visibility throughout the year – a modern response to the demands of the market.

  • Successful 32nd trade fair for the ÖGA 2024

    Successful 32nd trade fair for the ÖGA 2024

    From June 26 to 28, 2024, numerous experts visited the ÖGA to discover the latest developments in horticulture and landscaping, public green spaces and vegetable and berry cultivation. The trade fair management drew a positive conclusion: the 409 exhibitors praised the high quality of the trade visitors, the visitor frequency and the excellent organization of the event. The live machine demos and the opportunity to test equipment on site were particularly appreciated. The unique park atmosphere also contributed to the success of the trade fair.

    Voices of the exhibitors
    Rolf Schüpbach from Ricoter Erdaufbereitung AG emphasized: “ÖGA is the meeting place for the green industry. We appreciate the open and honest exchange and the opportunity to present our innovations. For us, it is also an opportunity to thank our customers.” Jürg Schwab from Robert Aebi Landtechnik AG added: “The fact that we can present our machines outside is what makes the ÖGA so special for us. It also gives us the opportunity to maintain good customer contacts with decision-makers and meet new customers. For us, the ÖGA is the best of all trade fairs.”

    Innovative strength and awards
    The industry’s innovative strength was clearly visible at ÖGA 2024. An expert jury selected nine winners of the “Technical Innovations” innovation award from 37 technical innovations submitted – more than ever before. In addition, four new plants were honored with the “New Plants” award. The awards were presented by Christian Stucki, wrestling king and Sportsman of the Year 2019, as part of the official innovation ceremony. Over 180 invited guests from business, politics and exhibitors took the opportunity to exchange ideas and network.

    Constant visitor numbers
    The exhibition management was also satisfied with the visitor numbers. A total of 20,350 entries were registered, which is comparable to the last edition in 2022 (20,600 entries). Despite a rainy spring, which delayed many horticulturalists and producers, numerous professionals decided to visit the ÖGA. The behavior of the visitors was particularly pleasing: they were interested and ready to buy. The new location of the construction machinery sector no. 10 was also rated positively by the majority. The more compact exhibition grounds led to a change in the flow of visitors without having to change sides of the road.

    Future of ÖGA
    The next ÖGA will take place from June 24 to 26, 2026. As the most important trade fair for professional horticulture, public green spaces, the municipal sector and vegetable and berry cultivation, it is aimed at experts and decision-makers in the industry. The trade fair is organized by the Swiss Gardeners’ Association, the Oeschberg Cantonal Horticultural School and the Swiss Central office for vegetable growing

    The successful staging of ÖGA 2024 underlines the importance of this trade fair for the green sector and raises hopes for an equally successful event in 2026.

  • The flooring industry meets again

    The flooring industry meets again

    National and international exhibitors show their products, services, innovations and trends on the topic of flooring in a practical way. In this way, trade visitors can find information and inspiration personally on site and ultimately the right partners for future projects. An attractive supporting program with the BodenFORUM completes the trade fair. In the BodenFORUM, industry experts impart the latest specialist knowledge for architecture, interior design and craftsmanship. Keynote speakers will shed light on the latest focus topics in the industry and exhibitors will present their most exciting solutions to match.

    Important industry meeting point
    “For known reasons, we had to wait a long time to be able to hold the trade fair. We can finally make this meeting place possible for the flooring industry again," stresses exhibition manager Ursula Gerber. She is particularly pleased about this, because there is a great need for an industry meeting place where people can exchange ideas personally. Ursula Gerber explains: "Due to the effects of the pandemic, personal contact has only been possible to a limited extent in the past two years. This showed how important this is for successful construction projects and business initiations.»

    supplemented by digital channels
    The Suisse Floor has been further developed since the last event in order to position it in the digital age. "We're focusing even more on the exhibitors and their skills," says the trade fair manager. And not only on the Suisse Floor itself, but also before and after on the new digital channels. "Our exhibitors gain attention from the target audience, reach new customers and more visitors at their stand," she explains. Visitors can already find new and exciting products or solutions on the trade fair website, which will then be presented on the Suisse Floor.

  • digitalSTROM presents new products

    digitalSTROM presents new products

    According to a press release , digitalSTROM AG from Schlieren will present two innovations at the Light + Building 2022 trade fair. On the one hand, the networking specialist is presenting the integrated solution for access control. According to the announcement, this consists of the fully integrated Smart Video Doorbell and the interactive 10.1″ display, dS-Touch. With the video doorbell, residents can always keep an eye on who is ringing the doorbell. With the dS-Touch display, access control is integrated into the all-in-one solution from digitalSTROM for the first time. This includes fully centralized automation and control of lights, shutters, blinds, heating and ventilation systems and buttons.

    The dS Energy extension, which is also new, enables residents with a photovoltaic system to improve their energy balance. The self-generated energy is thus routed to the boiler or heat pump via an intelligent control system. This will also significantly reduce dependency on the electricity company, according to the statement.

    For the first time since 2018, digitalSTROM will be taking part in the trade fair from October 2nd to 6th in Frankfurt in order to present its range of smart home solutions and innovations to an international audience. “We benefit from the growing dynamics of home automation and the steadily increasing interest in digitalSTROM solutions,” Peter Lambrechts, Executive Chairman at digitalSTROM, is quoted as saying. In the difficult years for the entire industry, his company invested heavily in research and development and was able to present new products and solutions at Light + Building.

    Baumag construction machinery fair invites you to Lucerne

    Specialists from the main and ancillary construction trades can meet from January 13 to 16, 2022 at the 21st Baumag construction machinery trade fair in Lucerne. In the coming year it will be the only specialized trade fair in this sector in Switzerland, according to a press release .

    After a three-year break, the exhibition space is already well booked. “This shows that Baumag is an important Swiss presentation platform for the industry,” Exhibition Director Andreas Hauenstein is quoted in the press release.

    The exhibitor Baukader Schweiz takes part in a large part of the program. The management organization in the construction industry offers a keynote speech on every day of the fair, including topics such as machine control, sustainability, safety and ecology. In addition to the presentations, there should be a practical part.

    The visitors expected a “well-functioning trade fair operation in a familiar environment”. Wearing masks is not necessary thanks to an obligation to show a certificate of vaccination against the coronavirus. Gastronomy offers could be used without restriction and exhibitors serve their visitors at their stands.

    The fair takes place regularly every two years. This year, the already fully booked Baumag was canceled due to the corona pandemic.
