A+A 2023 Spotlights Occupational Safety and Health Innovations

The international safety event is coming to Düsseldorf on Oct. 24-27.

The 38th edition of the A+A congress is heading to Düsseldorf, Germany from Oct. 24 to 27, 2023. And attendees are in for a wide range of events highlighting the latest safety innovations.

One of the standout segments this year will be the Exo Park in Hall 5 A30, where exoskeleton manufacturers will showcase their latest products. As industries increasingly lean towards wearable robotics for employee safety and efficiency, the WEARRACON EUROPE event aims to spotlight European innovations, especially those concerning occupational exoskeletons.

Fashion and safety will intertwine at the A+A Fashion Show in Hall 15, emphasizing that safety gear can be both stylish and functional. For those prioritizing emergency preparedness, Hall 1 will host presentations and live demonstrations focusing on fire protection and disaster management, detailing how businesses can bolster their defenses against unforeseen incidents.

The A+A Trend Forum presents a series of lectures by industry experts throughout all four days. Topics include digitalization, sustainability, hygiene and hazardous substances. The Start-up Zone offers a platform for start-ups to present their innovations, and the German Network Office e. V. offers a special exhibit in Hall 5 B34 addressing the challenges of hybrid office work.

The A+A congress—introduced in the 1950s—runs parallel to the A+A trade fair and remains a pivotal event for occupational safety in Germany and beyond. According to the website, the congress "presents national and global political advances," such as prevention strategies like "Vision Zero," while fostering an open discussion space on occupational science and research.
