Fair Handeln Stuttgart

Fair Handeln is Germany’s leading trade fair for fair trade and global responsibility – an inspiring meeting point for all those committed to a more just and equitable world. The name not only stands for "fair trade" in a literal sense but also symbolizes a clear commitment to ethical consumption, ecological responsibility, and international engagement. The event is organized annually by Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH, one of the country’s most renowned trade fair organizers. The modern venue, located directly at Stuttgart Airport, provides an easily accessible platform for exchange, inspiration, and business networking.

Once a year, the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre transforms into a showcase of sustainable practices, where companies, NGOs, start-ups, and professional visitors from various industries come together. Fair Handeln focuses on key topics such as fair consumption, development cooperation, sustainable finance, tourism, and future-oriented fashion. Fairly produced food, eco-friendly textiles, fine artisanal goods, innovative financial services, and sustainable travel options meet a highly engaged audience from both the professional sector and civil society.

The fair is particularly relevant for stakeholders from retail and wholesale, development cooperation, tourism, and finance, as well as for politically engaged individuals, educational institutions, and socially conscious consumers. A diverse supporting program – including expert talks, panel discussions, workshops, the state conference on development cooperation, and hands-on activities – ensures that the visit is not only informative but also interactive and engaging.

Thanks to its direct connection to the airport, the A8 motorway, and the S-Bahn lines S2 and S3, the venue is easily accessible both nationally and internationally. The combination of strong content, a clear mission, and excellent infrastructure makes Fair Handeln a key event for anyone dedicated to shaping a fair, sustainable, and forward-looking world.

The Fair Handeln will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 09. April to Sunday, 12. April 2026 in Stuttgart.
