INTERSCHUTZ - 2026
INTERSCHUTZ is the world`s leading trade fair for the fire and rescue services, civil protection, safety and security. What`s more, INTERSCHUTZ is a showcase for heroes. It is, after all, a gathering place for people from all around the world who routinely save lives, prevent disasters, and help others in emergency situations.
That`s because INTERSCHUTZ is very much a business show as well. As an undisputed highlight event, all leading manufacturers in the industry make it a firm fixture in their calendar. This is where companies traditionally showcase their innovations and latest developments – and where the research sector shares up-to-the-minute findings that will shape the future of emergency management.
INTERSCHUTZ is rounded off by an extensive conference, lecture, and event program in which top industry professionals exchange views and ideas on current topics, the best in the industry are honored and trade attendees can enjoy a variety of exciting entertainment.
No wonder, therefore, that INTERSCHUTZ – organized by Deutsche Messe together with the partner associations vfdb, DFV and VDMA – figures among the absolute go-to events for non-commercial exhibitors such as fire brigades, rescue services, technical assistance services and civil protection organizations, as well as for visitors from professional and voluntary fire services, factory fire brigades, rescue services, civil protection and the worlds of business, politics, and science.

With global challenges on the rise – from geopolitical crises and extreme weather events to the impacts of climate change – civil protection is becoming more important than ever. INTERSCHUTZ will showcase these developments on an international stage in June 2026, spotlighting civil and disaster protection at the joint pavilion New Concepts for Civil Protection.
The best method of firefighting is preventing fires before they can even begin. To this end, preventive fire protection requires constant adaptation – to modern construction methods, larger buildings and denser building development. At INTERSCHUTZ, exhibitors will show you which technologies and innovative concepts can be used to design preventive fire protection.
Main Themes
- Construction, technical fire and building protection
- Associations, organizations, service companies
- Modern construction types, larger buildings and denser development mean new requirements for preventive fire protection. INTERSCHUTZ covers all areas from planning to implementation.
Fire services have a diverse operational spectrum. And the requirements on people and materials are equally diverse. In emergency situations, the equipment must provide optimal support and the utmost safety. New protective clothing must shield the firefighters not only from heat but also from carcinogenic particles. At INTERSCHUTZ you will find the entire spectrum of PPE for all deployment situations.
Main Themes
