ABI Zukunft Heilbronn

ABI Zukunft is a specialist careers and education fair designed to support female sixth form students in planning their next steps after school. The event offers a comprehensive platform with clear, practical information and guidance on university study, vocational training, dual study programmes, gap year opportunities abroad, and voluntary service.

Once a year, the Harmonie Concert and Congress Centre in Heilbronn is transformed into a hub for future planning. Centrally located and equipped with modern facilities, the venue is easily accessible by public transport and car, providing the perfect setting for face-to-face conversations, networking, and personalised advice.

The fair is organised by JF MESSEKONZEPT GmbH & Co. KG, a company with extensive experience in staging education and careers events. ABI Zukunft has already been successfully established in several German cities, including Frankfurt, Münster, Cologne and Hanover.

What sets ABI Zukunft apart is its focused approach to the needs of school leavers. Whether it's information on domestic and international degree programmes, one-to-one advice from universities, training providers and employers, or hands-on tips for applications, internships and global opportunities – the fair covers all key topics relevant to life after A-levels.

Visitors can also look forward to a diverse programme of talks by industry experts and career coaches, practical workshops, and numerous opportunities to make direct connections – whether for internships, university places or early career entry.

The event stands out through its combination of breadth, depth and a personal touch. Alongside traditional vocational pathways and academic careers, it also showcases alternative options such as the Voluntary Social Year (FSJ), Federal Voluntary Service (BFD), and programmes for working or studying abroad. Exhibitors range from industrial and craft-based businesses to social service providers and international education organisations.

With its highly targeted offering, tailored to the realities of young people’s lives, ABI Zukunft serves as a valuable source of guidance for students approaching the end of their school careers. Attendees benefit not only from a wide range of information, but also from direct access to experts from universities, companies and advisory services.

As part of a nationwide series, the ABI Zukunft fair in Heilbronn combines strong local roots with broader reach. The Harmonie venue impresses with its modern infrastructure, central location and excellent transport links – whether by bus, train or car. The result is an engaging and informative event that inspires young people to take the next step in shaping their future – practical, empowering, and full of opportunity.

The ABI Zukunft will take place on Saturday, 28. February 2026 in Heilbronn.
