Franchise Expo Germany 2026
The Franchise Expo Germany returns to Frankfurt on 6–7 November 2026, bringing together franchise brands, entrepreneurs, investors and key players from across the franchise ecosystem at Forum Messe Frankfurt.
As one of Germany’s key international events dedicated to franchising, the Franchise Expo Germany provides a platform for companies looking to expand, entrepreneurs searching for proven business models, and investors interested in scalable concepts with long-term growth potential.
Following a successful 2025 edition, the event will continue to strengthen its international reach in 2026, welcoming a broad selection of franchise brands from Germany and abroad across a wide range of industries.
A platform for growth, investment and international expansion
Franchising remains a powerful model for entrepreneurial growth and business expansion. Against a dynamic economic backdrop, the Franchise Expo Germany 2026 places an even stronger emphasis on quality contacts, efficient business development and sustainable growth.
The event connects international franchise concepts with entrepreneurs, multi-unit operators and investors looking for established and scalable business opportunities. Exhibiting brands will represent sectors including Food & Beverage, Retail & Consumer Services, Fitness & Wellness, Automotive & Home Services, Education and Childcare, among others.
Germany plays a particularly important role in this context. As one of Europe’s largest and most attractive franchise markets, it offers international brands a strategic gateway to the wider DACH region – Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Together with specialised partners, the Franchise Expo Germany supports international brands in understanding and approaching this market, from market analysis and strategic consulting to topics such as recruitment, expansion, marketing, legal requirements and financing.
International reach combined with local market expertise
The Franchise Expo Germany is organised by MFV Expositions / Comexposium, combining decades of international franchise expertise with a global network of business events.
MFV Expositions has been organising franchise exhibitions for more than 35 years and operates an international portfolio of events connecting franchise brands with prospective entrepreneurs and investors. Its network includes franchise exhibitions in major markets such as New York, Miami, Dallas and Phoenix.
The international development of the Frankfurt event is further supported by IMF GmbH – Promosalons Deutschland, part of the global Promosalons network with a presence in more than 80 countries.
Through established relationships with business organisations, industry associations, media partners and professional networks, this cooperation helps increase the international visibility of the Franchise Expo Germany and supports companies seeking to develop their presence in the German-speaking market.
The choice of Frankfurt am Main reinforces this international positioning. As one of Europe’s major financial and business hubs, the city combines excellent international accessibility with a strong environment for investment, expansion and business development.
Practical insights for franchise development
Beyond discovering franchise concepts, visitors can expect a comprehensive programme designed to provide practical insights into entrepreneurship and franchise development.
The conference programme will address both newcomers to franchising and experienced industry professionals, covering topics related to the development, financing and scaling of franchise businesses. Franchise founders, consultants and industry experts will share practical experience and best practices, with a focus on national and international growth, expansion and sustainable business strategies.
