A+A: The leading international trade fair for occupational safety and health

A+A in Düsseldorf has long been more than just a trade fair: it is a global platform for innovations in occupational safety and health. Companies, experts, and associations from all over the world come together here to present the latest developments and help shape the future of work. The focus is on solutions that better protect employees and make working environments safer and healthier.

Safety and health in transition

The world of work is undergoing radical change: technological progress, demographic change, and new working models are placing new demands on companies and employees. A+A shows how modern protection concepts and innovative products are meeting these challenges. In addition to traditional topics such as personal protective equipment and ergonomics, digital innovations are becoming increasingly important. Smart technologies such as wearables, AI-based safety systems, and networked working environments are increasingly shaping the image of the trade fair. They offer new opportunities to identify risks at an early stage and prevent accidents. Sustainability also plays a major role: numerous exhibitors are focusing on resource-saving production processes and recyclable materials in order to combine ecological responsibility with economic efficiency. Düsseldorf Exhibition Center provides an overview of other trade fairs.

Trade congress as a platform for knowledge transfer

Parallel to the exhibition, the A+A Congress is taking place, which is considered one of the leading international forums for occupational safety and health management. Here, decision-makers and experts meet to discuss the latest research findings, legal developments, and best practices. The focus is on topics such as mental health in the workplace, dealing with new stresses caused by hybrid forms of work, and the influence of artificial intelligence on workplace safety. The prevention of occupational diseases also plays an important role. Companies are increasingly required to develop comprehensive health programs that take both physical and mental aspects into account. The congress offers valuable ideas and practical solutions in this area.

Diversity of topics and exhibitors

The spectrum of exhibitors at A+A is broad. From international corporations to specialized medium-sized companies, businesses present their innovations. Not only are products such as protective clothing, safety equipment, and first-aid systems on display, but also services in the areas of consulting, training, and risk analysis. Micromobility solutions for internal logistics and assistance systems to relieve employees round off the portfolio. A growing segment is the area of workplace health promotion. Ergonomic workplace concepts, stress management programs, and initiatives to improve work-life balance show that companies are increasingly investing in the holistic health of their workforce.

A look at the working world of tomorrow

A+A sees itself not only as a showcase for the status quo, but also as a source of inspiration for the working world of the future. Sustainability, digitalization, and resilience are central pillars of this vision. Many of the innovations presented at the trade fair focus on an integrative combination of technological progress and social responsibility. Increasing automation and the use of robotics are fundamentally changing work processes. At the same time, the importance of training and lifelong learning is growing in order to prepare employees for new requirements. A+A highlights these developments from different perspectives and presents solutions for how companies and employees can actively shape this change.

A must-attend event for industry professionals and decision-makers

A+A attracts trade visitors from a wide range of sectors – from industry and construction to healthcare providers, public authorities, and educational institutions. For anyone involved in occupational safety and health, the trade fair is an indispensable date in the calendar.
