Just over a month before Achema 2024 opens on 10 June, one thing is already clear: with more than 60 percent of exhibitors coming from abroad, this year’s leading trade show for the global process industry will be the most international Achema ever. Numerous side events from renowned partners await participants from 130 countries.
From 10 to 14 June 2024, 2,800 exhibitors from more than 50 nations will showcase their product innovations for the global process industry at the Frankfurt exhibition grounds. “The high level of participation by exhibitors from abroad shows that Achema continues to gain ever greater international importance. Compared to the previous event, more than a quarter more exhibitors have registered and the exhibition space is again almost a third larger than last time. We are fully booked in large parts“, says Dr Björn Mathes, CEO of Dechema Ausstellungs-GmbH.
The lecture programme, which has been fully integrated into the exhibition since Achema 2022, is also reporting record numbers: In up to 25 parallel tracks, over 900 lectures, discussions and workshops from more than 1,000 speakers await Achema visitors.
