Nuremberg has firmly positioned itself at the forefront of the fire protection industry with the annual FeuerTrutz, which has quickly established itself as Europe’s premier event combining a comprehensive congress on structural, technical, and organizational fire protection solutions. This fair draws an eclectic mix of specialist planners, architects, civil engineers, and fire protection officers, who together explore the latest innovations and exchange knowledge on fire prevention and containment. Over the years, FeuerTrutz has evolved into the leading trade fair for preventive fire protection in Europe. The 2019 edition marked a milestone with 276 exhibitors, including 52 international participants, and drew around 6,300 visitors from 44 countries, reflecting a significant 50% increase in international attendance compared to the previous year. FeuerTrutz’s comprehensive approach extends beyond showcasing products to fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation in the fire protection industry. FeuerTrutz 2023 introduced two notable additions to its supporting program that were extremely well-received. The neext Future Forum offered visitors the opportunity to engage in various panel discussions and workshops focused on fire protection in an increasingly urbanized and networked world. This forum highlighted the challenges and solutions pertinent to modern fire safety in densely populated areas. A seminar by asecos on “Handling Hazardous Substances Safely in the Work Environment” combined knowledge transfer with vivid live experiments and practical tips. This hands-on approach provided attendees with actionable insights into managing hazardous materials. Following its successful debut in 2023, the asecos academy Forum returned with a series of live experimental lectures. Topics included handling lithium-ion batteries, the use of fluorine-containing and fluorine-free foam agents, fire protection in ventilation systems, and fire protection through hot-dip galvanizing. These sessions were designed to address emerging risks and innovative fire protection strategies, ensuring that attendees were equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques.
