Electrical retail - Expert and Euronics move trade fair from Berlin to Hanover
The Expert and Euronics electronic retail chains are moving their joint dealer fair Koop from Berlin to Hannover. The cooperative exhibition of the two trading chains will take place at the Hannover trade fair grounds starting in 2026, the organizers announced. The fair will still be held once more in 2025 at its previous location in Berlin. After that, the contract with Messe Berlin, which was closed in 2019, will expire. In the re-tendering process starting in 2026, Hannover has now been awarded the contract.
At the Koop fair, whose first edition in 2021 was held virtually due to the pandemic, manufacturers show the dealers of the two chains their products and new innovations. Expert and Euronics had merged their separate in-house fairs into the Koop. According to the organizers, about 3000 visitors attended the latest edition in February 2024, which was a two-day event.
