About Us

The Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy is promoting sustainable economic growth with the objective to secure and expand economic prosperity in all regions of Bavaria. The guiding principle is the social market economy. It combines entrepreneurial freedom, economic strength, ability to change and social responsibility.

The Ministry's goal is to mobilize all entrepreneurial potentials, unleash the creativity and knowledge of Bavarian citizens and develop the strengths of all Bavarian regions.

To do so the Ministry promotes international cooperation by organizing different events bringing together potential business partners from Bavaria and abroad. This is implemented by the different measures of Bayern International,

Which are: Benefit from the Bavarian Trade Fair Participation Program

Foreign trade fairs are an important distribution channel to export markets. The Bavarian Trade Fair Participation Program offers Bavarian companies a comprehensive range of services before and during the fair, financial support from the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs and a turnkey trade fair booth with variable booth areas. In addition, Bayern International takes care of all organizational matters and offers support on site.
