On 24 and 25 June 2026, the international fire protection industry will gather in Nuremberg: FeuerTrutz—Europe’s leading trade fair and conference for preventive fire protection—offers a comprehensive overview of current developments, solutions, and prospects. With its unique combination of a trade fair and a fire protection congress, the event covers all areas of preventive fire protection—from structural and technical fire protection to organizational fire protection. It demonstrates how closely safety, the construction industry, regulation, and technological transformation are intertwined.
The fire protection industry also reflects current market dynamics: It remains robust overall, but is facing pressure to adapt in some areas. While the new construction sector continues to be characterized by caution, measures for existing buildings, modernization, and regulatory-driven investments are gaining importance and ensuring a stable demand base.
Against this backdrop, FeuerTrutz 2026 will serve as the central platform showcasing how the industry is leveraging current conditions to strategically evolve—and generating new momentum for growth and innovation.
Trade Show Highlights: Solutions Across the Entire Value Chain
FeuerTrutz 2026 offers a comprehensive overview of products and developments across the entire value chain of preventive fire protection. The approximately 250 exhibitors will showcase, among other things:
- Building materials and structures for structural fire protection
- Fire detection, suppression, and smoke exhaust systems
- Digital planning tools and software solutions
- Systems for escape and rescue routes
- Solutions for complex infrastructures such as industrial facilities, hospitals, or transportation buildings
The focus is on both proven systems and new approaches—such as those related to modern construction methods, sustainable materials, and increasing requirements for energy efficiency and safety.
Topics for the Future 2026: Digitalization, AI, and New Construction Methods
A key theme of FeuerTrutz 2026 is digitalization in fire protection. The focus is particularly on applications related to Building Information Modeling (BIM), sensor-based systems, and the use of AI for planning, monitoring, and optimizing fire protection measures.
In addition, the trade show and conference will address current developments in the construction industry, such as the increased use of wood in building construction and new requirements arising from photovoltaic systems and energy systems.
Knowledge Platform: Fire Safety Conference with In-Depth Technical Content
Alongside the trade show, the Fire Safety Congress offers a comprehensive professional program featuring over 40 presentations, workshops, and panel discussions.
Here, experts will discuss topics including:
- Fire protection concepts and specialized planning of building services
- Fire protection in existing buildings and in wood construction
- Current developments in building codes and standards
- Opportunities and challenges in the application of artificial intelligence in planning, testing, and evaluation
The conference is organized by RM Rudolf Müller Medien, one of the leading providers of specialized information in the construction and fire protection sectors.
As a result, FeuerTrutz offers a unique combination of practical solutions and in-depth expertise.
Experiences and Exchange
In addition to the exhibition and conference, FeuerTrutz 2026 will feature formats that bring fire safety—in all its facets—to life:
- Live demonstrations showcase fire safety solutions in real-world applications
- Expert forums provide in-depth insights
- Specialized areas focus on topics such as startups, continuing education, and digitalization
The “Fire Protection EXPERIENCE” area combines theory and practice, allowing participants to directly experience the effectiveness of modern fire protection systems in action.
A decision-maker platform with international reach
FeuerTrutz is specifically aimed at professional planners, architects, civil engineers, government officials, as well as fire safety officers, contractors, installers, and decision-makers from the industrial and real estate sectors.
A large proportion of visitors are directly involved in investment and procurement decisions—a clear indication of the event’s economic relevance.
At the same time, its international significance is growing: Exhibitors and trade visitors from numerous countries use the trade show as a platform for networking, cooperation, and market access.
Fire protection as a key issue for the future of the built environment
Whether it’s climate change, urban densification, or new technologies—the demands placed on buildings and infrastructure are constantly increasing. At the same time, the resilience of critical infrastructure is becoming a greater focus. Preventive fire protection is thus becoming a decisive factor for safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainable planning.
FeuerTrutz 2026 will showcase how the industry is adapting to these challenges: through technological solutions, practical knowledge, and an intensive dialogue between industry, planning, and regulation.
As a result, the event is not only an industry gathering but also a key driver of innovation for the construction and real estate sectors in Europe.
