As a leading platform for the sustainable mobility industry, EUROBIKE, plays a pioneering role when it comes to sustainability
With its relocation to Frankfurt, EUROBIKE is moving to become a sustainable and climate-neutral trade show.
To make this possible, we work on a number of fronts, from compensating for travel and show set-up to actively working together with the industry and associations to further develop sustainability across the sector.
Travel concept for visitors
In 2023 EUROBIKE was awarded the Deutsche Bahn Climate Mobility Challenge award for Event Mobility. Our travel concept includes a mobility strategy for travelling to the show by bike, including supervised bicycle parking. For visitors travelling from further afield, we work with Deutsche Bahn and regional transport associations to offer a special event ticket.
Thanks to its location in central Frankfurt, EUROBIKE is easy to reach by bicycle or public transport. By working together with our strong partners, we have been able shift the journeys of our exhibitors and visitors to public transport or encourage them to cycle or walk.
EUROBIKE Program
The topic of sustainability played a central role in the trade visitor program at EUROBIKE 2024.
Not only was a dedicated SUSTAINABILITY TRACK created for this topic, but the entire program was designed through the lens of the three-dimensional sustainability concept. Nearly all contributions addressed aspects of social, economic, or ecological sustainability.
Speakers at the program received train tickets to ensure a sustainable journey. Additionally, all travel emissions were offset at the end.
Sustainability was also established as a key criterion for the EUROBIKE AWARD to align with societal realities and needs.
Sustainable measures during the show
Daily operations on the exhibition grounds of a trade show as big as EUROBIKE represent a significant challenge. In 2022, we introduced a sustainability guideline for exhibitors to help them make their trade fair presence as sustainable as possible. This applies to everything from booth construction, to travel, transport, catering and renewable energy and recycling waste. We actively support exhibitors in their sustainability efforts by offering targeted services.
For example, EUROBIKE works with waste consultants during the show, to make waste separation and recycling significantly more efficient than events of a comparable size.
Air conditioning in the exhibition halls is managed with a considered approach that includes measuring and offsetting the CO² footprint.
