How does France organise its rescue services? What does civil defense look like in Italy? And what are the techniques and tactics used by American firefighters to combat forest fires? The answers to these and other questions will be provided at the upcoming Interschutz trade fair, which runs from 15 to 20 June 2020 in Hanover, Germany. On three dedicated days of the six-day show, individual countries will be in the spotlight – France on Tuesday, Italy on Wednesday and the United States on Thursday.
Security and fire safety trade fair
"As a globally renowned and massive trade fair for fire brigades, rescue services, civil protection and safety/security, Interschutz is the perfect place to think outside the box and learn from the experiences of others," says Martin Folkerts, Interschutz project manager for the Deutsche Messe team. "The challenges for rescuers around the world are similar. Our Partner Country Days are dedicated to promoting international networking and reaffirming a cross-border sense of community."
High-ranking visitor delegations from the respective featured nations are expected to attend the 2020 Partner Country Days. In addition, special activities are planned at group pavilions from the German federal states as well as on the open-air demonstration site. The three countries will also play an important role at Interschutz conferences and forums. Trade fair attendees will be informed about all the various activities on all the different Interschutz channels. And the trade fair catering service will also have a special culinary focus on each of the Partner Country Days.
Global security companies to participate
At Interschutz, companies from around the globe will showcase their vehicles, equipment and technologies for protection and rescue services in a quest to conquer new markets. Visitors from Germany and abroad will find new ideas and technological innovations at Interschutz, where they can share their experience with others and generate new leads. In 2015, some 800 out of approximately 1500 exhibitors came from abroad, with visitor attendance of more than 21,000 stemming from outside Germany. And international journalists also showed keen interest in Interschutz, with more than 200 foreign journalists having made the trip to the Hannover Exhibition Center in 2015.
