Good reasons for the FSB

Why you should not miss the FSB in any case

A global marketplace for urban living environments

As the world’s leading trade fair for urban living spaces, FSB in Cologne showcases the full range of solutions for public space and playground planning, sports halls, sports fields, stadiums, ice sports, outdoor fitness and much more besides. Every two years, it brings together the industry’s top players in one place to exchange ideas on innovative products and concepts and find their ideal project partners.

At congresses, forums and events covering all aspects of sports and leisure facility construction, renowned experts will give talks on topics such as sports development planning, innovative materials, modern operating concepts and new solutions for the urban living environments of tomorrow. A particular highlight of the programme will be the 29th IAKS Congress, which will address issues such as how sports and leisure facilities contribute to health goals, social integration and reducing CO2 emissions as well as the energy transition in sports centres.
