WildfireCamp@ INTERSCHUTZ
The WildfireCamp@INTERSCHUTZ is a new platform within INTERSCHUTZ, where national and international experts present innovative methods for the prevention and fighting of wildfires.
United Against Wildfires
The WildfireCamp@INTERSCHUTZ is the new platform dedicated to wildfire protection. In June 2026, leading experts will showcase groundbreaking solutions for early detection, prevention, and combatting wildfires at the Hanover fairgrounds.
Alongside practical demonstrations for each phase of operations in the outdoor area (the northern section of the outdoor grounds between Hall 26 and Hall 17), the “Command Post” forum (Hall 17, Booth F09) will focus on exchanging strategies and presenting new technologies – all aimed at detecting fires early or, ideally, preventing them altogether.
With four strong partners – Bosch Building Technologies, the European Forest Institute (EFI), @fire und IMBOS e.V. – the WildfireCamp@INTERSCHUTZ brings together decision-makers, emergency services, and technology providers.
Experience cutting-edge technologies, exchange knowledge, and help shape the future of forest fire protection!
Join Us – For More Protection, Innovation, and Collaboration in the Fight Against Wildfires!
