STUVA Expo 2019 in Frankfurt

STUVA-Expo is the international trade fair for tunnel construction and infrastructure. It was founded together with the STUVA Conference in 1963 and is held every two years. As a meeting place for the tunnel and infrastructure industry, STUVA takes place where as many tunnel construction activities as possible are currently taking place. As a rule, the procedure is always the same: On the first two days, domestic and foreign experts give a tight lecture programme. The last day is devoted to visits to interesting construction sites and facilities in the conference city and its immediate surroundings. The trade fair is an important contact platform and an important forum for the entire field of underground construction.

More than 1,900 participants - 700 of them registered trade visitors - came to STUVA-Expo 2017 to find out about the products, services, innovations and technologies of the 200 exhibitors on an exhibition area of 3,250 m². The exhibition areas for 2020 are:
