Franchise Expo Germany returns to Frankfurt on 6–7 November 2026, bringing together franchise brands, entrepreneurs, investors and aspiring business owners for two days of networking, learning and new business opportunities.
As Germany’s leading event dedicated to franchising, Franchise Expo Germany is the meeting point for anyone interested in starting a business with the support of an established franchise system. Taking place at Forum Messe Frankfurt, the event offers visitors the opportunity to discover a wide range of franchise concepts, speak directly with the people behind the brands and gain valuable insights into franchise ownership.
Discover franchise opportunities face-to-face
Choosing the right franchise is an important business decision. Online research can provide an initial overview, but meeting franchise brands in person makes it possible to ask detailed questions and understand the people, structures and ideas behind each concept.
At Franchise Expo Germany, visitors can explore franchise opportunities from different sectors and compare business models directly in one place. Whether you are taking your first steps towards entrepreneurship, looking for a new professional direction or seeking an additional investment opportunity, the show provides a practical way to explore the franchise market.
Visitors can discuss key questions directly with exhibitors: What level of investment is required? What experience or qualifications are expected? What kind of training and ongoing support does the franchise system provide? How does the business model work in practice, and what are its plans for future growth?
These conversations can help prospective franchisees identify concepts that match their professional experience, financial possibilities and personal ambitions.
More than an exhibition
Franchise Expo Germany is also a place to learn. Across the two days, visitors can take part in a varied programme of workshops, presentations and expert sessions covering important aspects of franchising and entrepreneurship.
Industry specialists and experienced professionals share practical knowledge on topics relevant to both future and existing franchisees. The programme gives visitors the opportunity to complement their discussions with exhibitors with additional insights into the realities of starting and developing a franchise business.
The event also creates valuable opportunities for networking. Franchise founders, established entrepreneurs, investors, advisors and representatives of franchise systems come together in Frankfurt, making the show a central meeting place for the German franchise community as well as international brands interested in the German market.
For franchise brands and industry professionals
Franchise Expo Germany is not only designed for prospective franchisees. For franchise systems, it provides a platform to present their concept, meet potential partners and develop their network in Germany.
Exhibiting brands can explain their business models personally, answer questions from interested entrepreneurs and build relationships with qualified prospects. Companies looking to expand their franchise network can therefore use the event as an opportunity to increase their visibility and generate new contacts.
There are also opportunities for industry professionals and experts to contribute to the event programme and share their knowledge with the franchise community.
