Altenburg shines at EXPO REAL 2025: Investments in focus!
The anticipation is increasing: the district and city of Altenburg are ready to present themselves at this year's EXPO REAL in Munich. From October 6th to 8th, 2025, the region will set up its joint stand under the banner of the European Metropolitan Region of Central Germany. In doing so, those responsible are sending a clear signal for the future and attractive development opportunities in the Altenburger Land.
The aspects of the stand clearly include intensive advertising for investments and the aim of presenting the Altenburger Land to an international specialist audience. District Administrator Uwe Melzer and Michael Apel, head of the business, tourism and culture department, will manage the local affairs together with Tino Scharschmidt, head of the city of Altenburg's economic development and tourism department. This delegation has undertaken a lot to highlight the advantages of the region.
Focus on infrastructure and tourism
At the trade fair stand, the focus is on discussions about ongoing infrastructure investments and tourism development. The goal is to bring the potential of the Altenburger Land to the fore and promote new partnerships. Especially at a time when demand for investment in rural areas is increasing, this could be an important step to put the region in the right light and attract additional players.
With the international character of EXPO REAL and the growing importance of sustainable investments, the framework conditions for the Altenburg region are in place. The event offers the perfect platform to exchange ideas and initiate possible collaborations; a real showcase for everyone who wants to approach the challenges of the future with a good hand.
In addition, the city of Altenburg will be able to put its best foot forward and present the area as an attractive location for companies and tourists. Another goal of this participation is to increase the perception of the district as a whole, which should happen through the various impulses during the discussions and presentations. There is a great opportunity here to position the region as a place worth living in.
Now it’s time for the delegation to roll up their sleeves and seek international exchange. EXPO REAL will not only be used as a trade fair, but also as a springboard for networking and strengthening the Altenburger Land. The visit to Munich could lay the foundation for many future projects.
