INTERSCHUTZ places civil protection at the heart of the trade fair
When international fire protection, rescue, and civil protection experts gather in Hanover from 1 to 6 June 2026 for INTERSCHUTZ, the focus will extend beyond cutting-edge technology and global innovations. The event will also explore the pressing challenges facing Europe and the wider world under the theme “A Turning Point in Civil Protection.”

In this context, all nations are called to act, as the global community faces substantial tasks: rising wildfire risks, increasingly frequent extreme weather events, and the need for modern civil protection infrastructure amid an uncertain geopolitical climate – particularly in Europe.
INTERSCHUTZ is stepping into the role of solutions provider. The program includes hands-on live demonstrations, international specialist conferences –such as the first FEU Leadership Conference of the Federation of European Fire Officers – numerous networking opportunities for emergency responders and decision-makers from around the world, and a diverse supporting program.
“In addition to its established focus on firefighting and rescue services, INTERSCHUTZ 2026 will highlight the widely discussed ‘turning point in civil protection’ – a topic that is especially relevant for Europe,” says Hendrik Rawe, Global Director LIGNA, INTERSCHUTZ, parts2clean and SurfaceTechnology GERMANY at Deutsche Messe AG. “All stakeholders in this field are facing challenges that require not only advanced technology but also a new level of cooperation across disciplines and national borders, as well as coordinated strategies and a shared approaches. As the leading international trade fair, INTERSCHUTZ is the ideal platform to bring together decision-makers from all sectors and shape the future in line with its motto: ‘Safeguarding tomorrow.’”
Companies showcase their expertise at INTERSCHUTZ
As of today, roughly 90 exhibitors will present their civil protection offerings in Hall 17. They will showcase innovative products, systems, and services – ranging from preventive measures and critical infrastructure protection to rapid emergency deployment solutions. At the center of the hall, the joint stand “New Concepts for Civil Protection” gives small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to present their innovations and practical solutions while engaging directly with industry experts.
“The topics addressed by INTERSCHUTZ are more relevant than ever,” emphasizes Rawe. “This is reflected in the steadily increasing number of exhibitors and the continuous growth in exhibition space. In all our conversations, we sense a strong desire to come together in Hanover in June 2026 to discuss today’s challenges and develop joint solutions for tomorrow – at an international level. Especially in civil protection, this need clearly transcends national borders.”
