Caring for the community

Each year Sibos supports local charities, and this year our partner is Children for a Better World, which tackles child poverty across Germany through a variety of targeted programmes. We're contributing to Kinder im Zentrum Gallus, which supports children in need to develop essential life skills. With support from Sibos, the centre will be able to deliver 200 recreational activities for the children - ranging from creative workshops to sports and homework sessions.

Separately, at the end of Sibos week, we also facilitate a collection service so exhibitors can donate reusable stand items such as furniture, potted plants, books and carpet.

A significant number of Sibos and Sibos supplier staff are hired locally to support the local economy and reduce the travel impact of the event.
