Three trade shows. One network. Three locations, one strategic vision:

Showcasing innovations. Strengthening care. Connecting the industry.

With REHAB Karlsruhe, IRMA Hamburg, and IRMA Bremen, Messe Karlsruhe is pooling its expertise in the future-oriented fields of rehabilitation, therapy, and care into a powerful trade fair network.

As the organizer, Messe Karlsruhe combines regional market presence with national reach. This creates a cross-location network that showcases innovations, integrates healthcare practice, and specifically promotes interdisciplinary dialogue.

Managing Director, Messe Karlsruhe

Britta Wirtz

"By organizing three trade fairs on related topics - REHAB Karlsruhe, IRMA Bremen, and IRMA Hamburg - we can expand our geographic reach and area of expertise nationwide, tap into new target groups, and strengthen our engagement with the industry."

Our Trade Show Advisory Committee

The establishment of a joint Advisory Committee has created a space for the exchange of diverse perspectives and practical ideas. In this expert group, the needs of industry professionals, suppliers, and users take center stage during regular meetings.

The first meeting at REHAB 2025 focused on trends, challenges, and opportunities in the provision of assistive devices, medical therapy, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This dialogue underscores our commitment to positioning REHAB as a leading trade fair with European reach and to further developing the IRMA fairs as a valuable regional complement to REHAB Karlsruhe: networked, innovative, and closely aligned with practical needs.
