A decade of editorial trade fair coverage and new opportunities for brand visibility.
The year 2026 will mark a major milestone for Messe.TV: ten years of continuous video reporting from Germany’s leading trade fairs. Since its first appearance at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 2016, the platform has evolved into a trusted source of information for professionals, decision-makers, and companies seeking insights into innovations and developments across diverse industries.
From concept to established format
Messe.TV was founded with a clear idea: to cover trade fairs not only as events but as stories — through editorial, journalistically produced video reports that make new developments tangible and relevant. Instead of traditional press releases, the team relies on moving images that highlight products, ideas, and people behind the innovations.
The format is financed through advertising placements in its editorial environment. This transparent model — keeping editorial content and commercial messages clearly separated — has proven particularly effective for B2B companies with specialized products and niche audiences. It allows advertisers to reach their target markets without scatter loss, within an authentic journalistic framework.
Growth through adaptation
Like the entire trade fair industry, Messe.TV faced serious challenges during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. With fairs canceled and travel restricted, on-site production came to a temporary halt. The team used this period to strategically evolve the concept.
What began as in-depth reporting from a handful of major events has grown into a broader approach: today, Messe.TV covers a much wider range of fairs, highlighting key innovations, trends, and market developments. Comprehensive features remain part of the editorial portfolio — a recent example being bauma 2025 in Munich, which achieved remarkable viewer engagement (https://www.messe.tv/en/fairs/germany/bauma).
Diversity as a principle
Messe.TV’s editorial philosophy is based on balance and diversity. The platform gives equal attention to global market leaders, medium-sized companies, and innovative start-ups. The key selection criterion is not company size but the relevance and originality of the innovation presented.
This balanced approach provides an authentic representation of the trade fair landscape — technologically, economically, and thematically. Over the years, it has helped establish Messe.TV as a reliable medium for professionals, exhibitors, and industry experts alike.
Organic visibility through editorial integrity
All full-length editorial features are published exclusively on messe.tv, presenting product innovations, company interviews, and trade fair highlights in a professional video format. To expand reach, Messe.TV additionally releases short-form highlight clips on YouTube, showcasing selected moments and directing viewers to the full reports on the website.
Audience growth is achieved organically, not through paid promotion. Visibility results from relevant content, careful SEO optimization, and consistent journalistic quality. This combination has made Messe.TV a recognized information source for innovation-driven topics across multiple industries.
Expanding editorial focus
In recent years, Messe.TV has expanded its thematic scope beyond product launches. The platform now also reports on overarching topics such as digitalization, automation, sustainability, energy efficiency, and material innovation.
This broader perspective attracts not only exhibitors but also visitors, decision-makers, and students who value contextual, well-documented insights into current developments. Messe.TV has thus evolved from a trade fair news outlet into a broader platform for industry knowledge and innovation communication.
Looking ahead to 2026
As Messe.TV approaches its tenth anniversary, the platform is preparing a mix of retrospectives and forward-looking initiatives. Ten years of editorial coverage stand for consistency, credibility, and a proven ability to adapt to changing communication needs.
In preparation for the anniversary, Messe.TV is offering special promotional rates for companies seeking to position their brand within the editorial environment of selected 2026 trade fairs. The initiative is designed for B2B advertisers who value credible, context-driven communication with targeted professional audiences.

Authentic journalism in the age of AI
In a media landscape increasingly shaped by automated and AI-generated content, direct reporting from trustworthy sources has become more important than ever. Messe.TV continues to stand for verified, authentic information — created by journalists, on site, and with a clear commitment to editorial integrity.
Appreciation for sponsors and partners
The continued success of Messe.TV has been made possible thanks to its long-standing sponsors and partner companies. Their support through advertising packages enables independent, high-quality journalism to thrive within the trade fair sector.
Ten years of Messe.TV are not only a symbol of editorial continuity but also of genuine collaboration between the editorial team, exhibitors, and advertisers — a model that will continue to gain significance in the years ahead.
