RETTmobil International – The Industry Magnet for Emergency Services and Civil Protection

When the international emergency services community comes together, there is no way around Fulda: From 6 to 8 May 2026, the city will once again become the vibrant hub of the emergency services sector. RETTmobil International is far more than a trade fair – it is the world-recognized meeting point for decision-makers, practitioners, and innovation leaders from emergency medical services, emergency medicine, fire services, and civil protection.

Since its premiere in 2001, RETTmobil has developed into the leading international trade fair for emergency services. What makes it unique is the combination of top-level professional expertise, a strong practical focus, and genuine international networking.
“RETTmobil is the central platform for innovation, exchange, and cooperation in emergency services – nationally and internationally,” emphasizes Trade Fair Director Manfred Hommel. Short distances, a clearly structured exhibition site, and a consistently practice-oriented concept make Fulda the ideal location for this international industry meeting.

The Entire Spectrum – Compact, Hands-On, Future-Oriented
RETTmobil International covers the full range of non-police emergency response: from modern rescue and emergency vehicles, vehicle technology and conversion, medical technology for prehospital emergency care, radio and signaling technology, control center and IT solutions, software and AI applications, personal protective equipment, hygiene solutions, training and education, to specialist publishers.Fire services and civil protection are core pillars of the trade fair concept, supported by strong partners from all aid organizations and, from the very beginning, by the German Fire Services Association (DFV).

Internationality That Sets Standards
Around 500 exhibitors from 27 countries will present their innovations, products, and solutions this year. RETTmobil is a true marketplace of ideas – and a place where manufacturers and service providers meet a highly qualified professional audience with real decision-making and procurement authority.

Visitors from more than 50 countries make the trade fair a truly international hotspot. More than 30,000 professional visitors are expected from emergency medical services, emergency medicine, fire services, disaster and civil protection, aid organizations, armed forces, authorities, administrations, and hospitals – including both full-time and volunteer responders as well as strategic decision-makers.

Experience Knowledge. Practice Skills. Shape the Future.
A hallmark of RETTmobil International is its high-quality professional and practical program. Continuing education in emergency medicine and EMS, new resuscitation guidelines, interdisciplinary cooperation in major incident scenarios, and specialized workshops – ranging from Advanced Airway Management, POCUS, and hemorrhage control to communication in escalation situations – make the trade fair a true hotspot for professional development.

Particular attention is drawn to the scenario-based live exercises and the off-road course: realistic accident rescues, technical and medical operational scenarios, and spectacular vehicle demonstrations under extreme conditions. Here, rescue is not explained – it is experienced.

Where Emergency Organizations Shape the Future Together
The patron of RETTmobil International 2026 is Knut Fleckenstein, Federal Chairman of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB): “RETTmobil connects emergency response organizations through professional exchange and collegial cooperation. It is an indispensable meeting place for everyone who bears responsibility in emergency services and civil protection.”

Fulda: In the Heart of Germany – Central in Europe
Located in the heart of Germany and central Europe, with excellent connections via motorways, ICE high-speed trains, and Frankfurt International Airport, Fulda offers ideal conditions for a leading international trade fair. The historic Baroque city also impresses with an excellent range of hotels and restaurants. Free shuttle services and complimentary parking for visitors in close proximity to the exhibition grounds complete the offering.
