FSB sets the industry in motion. The world’s leading trade fair for urban living environments becomes the global hub for public spaces, sports and leisure facilities. Here is where you can meet your international market players from architecture, municipalities, sport and sport clubs. At FSB, exhibitors and trade visitors from all over the world get things moving. Here, trends are set for the design of urban living spaces that meet future requirements for energy efficiency, resource conservation and accessibility. The three thematic areas of open space/playground equipment, sports facilities and exercise are each housed in their own area, which provided a clear structure for all participants. More than 70 per cent of the exhibitors are based abroad. The largest contingents from outside Germany come from the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, the USA, Spain, China and Belgium. The exhibiting companies cover everything relating to public spaces, playground equipment, outdoor fitness, ice sports, sports equipment, sports flooring and stadium infrastructure.

A trade fair is the ideal communication platform to give all market players a comprehensive overview of new technologies, smart concepts and product innovations. It also facilitates in-depth discussions that foster important business relationships and generate new leads. This is reflected in the strong presence of market-leading companies, which take vital inspiration from FSB. Attendance at FSB in Cologne is a must for industry deciders from all over the world. Decision makers from municipalities and associations, international buyers, investors, planning agencies, architects and operators of stadiums, event locations and arenas come to Cologne to see the key trends, discover innovations, exchange ideas with industry partners and find the right solutions for their current projects.
