ABOUT THE FAIR
REHAB Karlsruhe is one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for rehabilitation, therapy, nursing care, and social participation. Since its founding in 1980, it has established itself as a key platform for innovation and professional exchange. The event is held every two years and organized by Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH, an experienced trade fair organizer committed to making developments in the health and social care sectors accessible to both professional and private audiences from around the world. The venue is Messe Karlsruhe in Rheinstetten, a fully accessible exhibition center offering spacious halls, excellent transport links, and well-designed infrastructure—ideal conditions for both exhibitors and visitors.
Under the motto “Innovation Meets Rehabilitation: Expanding Possibilities for All”, REHAB showcases current trends and technologies while actively promoting social inclusion. The fair covers a wide range of topics—from physical and cognitive rehabilitation to nursing care, prevention, and the social and professional integration of people with disabilities. A unique feature is the close interplay between scientific expertise, practical application, and personal experience, which comes to life in a diverse program of expert lectures, hands-on workshops, and discussion panels.
Key areas of focus include forward-looking topics such as rehabilitation for children and adolescents, innovative mobility and daily living aids, and the rapidly growing field of home care—including solutions for home-based healthcare and incontinence management. Other important themes include accessible construction and housing, inclusive leisure and travel options, and the professional inclusion of people with disabilities. Specialized areas such as “Mobility with a Prosthesis”, developed in collaboration with the German Association for People with Limb Amputation (BMAB), highlight the fair’s practical and individualized approach.
REHAB Karlsruhe brings together a broad spectrum of exhibitors—from providers of medical aids and rehabilitation technologies to nursing services and self-help organizations. It offers a comprehensive array of products, services, and solutions, making it a valuable source of information for professionals, individuals affected by disability, and their families alike. With its clear thematic focus, many years of experience, and commitment to in-depth content, REHAB Karlsruhe offers a unique opportunity to gain targeted, comprehensive insights into innovations and proven practices in rehabilitation and care.
The twenty-fourth REHAB Karlsruhe takes place on 3 days from Thur., 13.05.2027 to Sat., 15.05.2027 in Rheinstetten.
