INTERSCHUTZ 2030 will take place from 20 to 25 May in Hanover
INTERSCHUTZ 2030 will be held from 20 to 25 May 2030 at the exhibition grounds in Hanover, organiser Deutsche Messe AG has announced.
Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG, said the early announcement provides certainty for exhibitors, partners and visitors around the world.
“By setting the new date at an early stage, we create planning certainty for exhibitors, partners and visitors worldwide,” Köckler said, “INTERSCHUTZ continues to strengthen its position as a central platform for innovation, exchange and international collaboration in the fields of fire services, rescue services and civil protection.”
He added that the event’s mix of exhibitions, conference programs and live demonstrations would again bring together international decision-makers, emergency responders and experts in Hanover after the 2026 edition.
Industry associations also welcomed the scheduling announcement.
Karl-Heinz Banse, President of the German Firefighters Association, described the decision as “a strong signal of reliability and forward-looking planning.”
“For fire services in Germany and beyond, it provides early planning certainty and gives us the opportunity to further develop innovation, training and cooperation in a targeted way,” Banse said.
Dirk Aschenbrenner, President of vfdb, said the new date supports long-term research and development efforts, particularly in civil protection.
“The new INTERSCHUTZ 2030 date opens up valuable prospects for research, development and transfer into practice,” Aschenbrenner said. “Particularly in civil protection, it is crucial to think long-term and to systematically advance innovation.”
Martin Zaindl, Chairman of VDMA Firefighting Technology, said the schedule provides a clear framework for the sector.
“This is an important foundation for driving technological developments forward in a focused way and making them visible internationally,” Zaindl said.
Köckler said preparations remain focused on the upcoming 2026 event while also looking ahead to the next edition in 2030.
“Looking ahead to 2030 underlines the long-term perspective – yet the future is already being written at INTERSCHUTZ 2026,” he said.
