This strong response confirms that JAGD & HUND remains the central international meeting point for the hunting industry and an important driver for the market. Manufacturers, retailers and service providers from around the world traditionally use the exhibition at the start of the year to present innovations, maintain business contacts and initiate new partnerships. The knowledgeable and at the same time eager-to-buy audience makes the event a platform with high economic relevance for the entire industry.
B2B component to further strengthen networking in 2027
The exclusive B2B Lounge will once again provide additional opportunities for exchange and networking within the industry next year. The Business Lounge celebrated its premiere this year and expanded JAGD & HUND with a dedicated B2B component in response to requests from many exhibitors. Numerous companies already used the area in the North Entrance to hold focused professional discussions with retailers, distributors, international manufacturers and other business partners away from the bustle of the exhibition stands – bringing together all key target groups in one place.
