International craft fair: Here handicraft is lived

Leading Trade Fair for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

The Internationale Handwerksmesse (IHM) in Munich is the leading annual trade fair for skilled crafts and trades. It brings together the full spectrum of craftsmanship – from construction and interior finishing to renovation, modern design and innovative services. As a central industry platform, it connects businesses, planners, architects, suppliers and private clients to explore the future of the skilled trades.

The exhibition focuses on sustainable building, energy-efficient renovation, smart home technologies, new materials and contemporary design solutions. Key topics include digitalisation, automation and the integration of intelligent systems in craft professions. Special shows and themed areas highlight current industry trends and allow visitors to experience craftsmanship up close through live demonstrations and interactive displays.

A varied supporting programme with expert forums, one-on-one consultations and specialist talks provides valuable knowledge and practical guidance for professionals and consumers alike. Whether it’s about future-oriented business strategies, innovation in design or hands-on solutions – IHM is a place of inspiration and exchange.

With its wide range of trades, pioneering technologies and a strong focus on sustainability and quality, the Internationale Handwerksmesse is a key meeting point where expertise meets demand – and where the future of craftsmanship is shaped.
