RETTmobil International –
The Leading International Trade Fair for Rescue and Mobility
International. Innovative. Essential.
RETTmobil International is the world’s leading trade fair for rescue and mobility – an essential industry meeting point for everyone with responsibilities in emergency services and civil protection.
Since its debut in 2001 with 63 exhibitors and 3,500 professional visitors, RETTmobil has evolved into an international flagship event, most recently featuring over 500 exhibitors from 27 countries and attracting approximately 33,000 visitors from around the world.
Our Goals
With RETTmobil, we create a platform for innovation, knowledge transfer, business, and professional exchange – across borders and organizational structures. We aim to bring together key players from industry, operational practice, science, public administration, and politics in one place.
The trade fair promotes the development of technologies, training, and strategies in both emergency response and civil and disaster protection – always with a focus on practical relevance and real-world applicability.
Our Target Audience
RETTmobil addresses everyone active in emergency services and civil protection:
- Professionals and executives from aid organizations, fire services, and specialized emergency services
- Emergency physicians, paramedics, and nursing staff
- Decision-makers from public authorities, government agencies, industry, and research
- Procurement officers and developers
- Political representatives engaged in public safety
Our Concept – Three Pillars, One Mission
RETTmobil’s concept is unique on the international stage. Its success is based on three strong pillars:
- Trade Exhibition: The latest emergency vehicles, state-of-the-art medical technology, personal protective equipment, patient transport aids, mission documentation tools, radio and control center technology, hygiene/disinfection and decontamination solutions, training and simulation technology, educational institutions, warning and signaling systems, staffing services, vehicle technology, medical supplies, and textile services
- Professional Congress: Continuing education in emergency and pre-hospital medicine, workshops, and expert talks on current issues from practice, science, and politics
- Hands-On Mobility Experience: An off-road course, live demonstrations, and deployment simulations ensure realistic scenarios
The Fulda Advantage
Thanks to its central location in the heart of Germany and Europe, Fulda is easily accessible by train, car, or via the nearby international airports in Frankfurt and Erfurt.
The mobile and flexible exhibition halls allow for custom presentation spaces for exhibitors of all sizes.
The site also features a large open-air area with a challenging off-road course that enables realistic vehicle demonstrations and operational scenarios under practical conditions.
Growth & Internationalization
Since its post-pandemic relaunch in 2022, RETTmobil has continued to grow – not only in numbers but also in reach and relevance.
Today, professionals from over 50 countries across 5 continents attend the fair to stay informed about current developments and future trends, to network, and to conduct business.
International exchange is a core element of our identity.
Looking Ahead
The challenges in emergency services are increasing – due to global climate change, large-scale emergencies and natural disasters, armed conflicts, pandemics, and technological shifts.
Additionally, emergency services face societal changes: including higher life expectancy, growing expectations of emergency personnel, and a transforming healthcare system.
RETTmobil sees itself as a driving force for solutions and innovations shaping the rescue systems of tomorrow.
