The German joint stand is organized by Messe Essen and sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. Additional support comes from the Association of Automobile Tuners (VDAT): "The clearly visible and measurable successes of our member companies from 2025 allow us to continue this project with great momentum and motivation. Anyone in our industry who wants to find new contacts in China and maintain and expand their network there is in exactly the right place here," say Harald Schmidtke, Managing Director of the VDAT, and Dirk Kreidenweiß, his successor from November 1, 2025
Exhibitors receive attractive full-service packages and comprehensive support German exhibitors benefit from an attractive full-service package that keeps their own organizational efforts to a minimum. In addition to reduced participation costs, this includes stand construction and equipment, optimal placement, and organizational handling by Messe Essen. Accompanying communication measures such as promotion by local influencers and an organized industry tour to establish initial contacts in the run-up to the trade fair are also included in the package. These are ideal conditions for exhibitors, as the response so far shows: "Our participation in the last GT Show was a complete success for us in every respect. The organization ran smoothly, and the event has given our business in China and, to some extent, other Asian markets a lasting boost. We were able to gain numerous valuable insights, which we have since successfully integrated into our company. In addition, we continue to maintain close and ongoing contact with our Chinese partners," explains Marcel Brühl, Office Manager at chip tuning specialist EVC electronic.
