In November 2025, the TBIC team attended MEDICA in Düsseldorf, the world’s largest trade fair for the medical sector, to engage with international companies active in medical technology, diagnostics, and healthcare innovation.

Meetings focused on companies developing medical devices, laboratory technologies, and digital health solutions that are evaluating U.S. market entry or expansion. Many conversations highlighted the importance of regulatory pathways, access to skilled labor, and proximity to healthcare systems and research partners when considering U.S. locations.

MEDICA once again proved to be a valuable platform for early-stage lead identification and relationship building in the healthcare and life sciences space.

Earlier this month, the TBIC team visited Agritechnica in Hanover, the world’s leading trade fair for agricultural machinery and equipment. We were pleased to attend the fair together with our TBIC Member Henderson Texas Economic Development Corporation, who joined us for meetings with companies exploring international expansion.

Across the exhibition halls, we met a range of innovative suppliers and equipment manufacturers, including several firms that are actively evaluating opportunities in the United States. Many see strong potential in the U.S. market due to ongoing investments in modern farming technologies, increasing adoption of automation, and a growing interest in sustainable solutions.

For TBIC members, events like Agritechnica remain a valuable platform to identify future investors early in their decision-making process. Attending with Henderson Texas provided an excellent opportunity to introduce them directly to companies preparing their next steps and to discuss how their community can support future U.S. projects.

Agritechnica once again demonstrated how dynamic and forward-looking this industry is. If you would like to learn more about how TBIC supports investment promotion, please feel free to reach out to our team.

In October 2025, the TBIC team visited Anuga Food Show in Cologne and K Show in Düsseldorf on consecutive days to identify European companies with interest in U.S. expansion.

At Anuga, discussions focused on food and beverage producers and related suppliers exploring U.S. market entry, with particular attention to processing, packaging, logistics, and sustainability requirements. Several companies expressed concrete interest in next steps and follow-up conversations.

At K Show, TBIC met with firms from the plastics and rubber industry, including advanced materials and machinery suppliers, many of which highlighted growing interest in North American production and supply chain diversification.

Across both trade shows, the TBIC team identified a number of qualified European companies at different stages of U.S. expansion planning. These back-to-back visits once again demonstrated the value of targeted trade show presence for early-stage lead generation and relationship building in key European industries.

Fachpack is one of Europe’s leading specialized trade shows for the packaging, processing, and logistics industries, bringing together innovators, suppliers, and decision-makers from across the value chain. The TBIC Team was on the ground for two days, meeting with more than 40 companies to discuss their U.S. market plans and ambitions. From advanced packaging technologies to industrial equipment providers, the conversations underscored a continued interest in North America as a growth market and the importance of building the right local partnerships.

In September TBIC had the opportunity to connect with European defense companies at DSEI in London for the first time. The European defense industry, ranging for armored vehicles to protection clothing, radar technology to large-scale ammunition production, experiences its most dynamic growth for decades. With individual company meetings and networking with relevant stakeholders from six different countries, TBIC wanted to make sure, that its regions are not missing out on upcoming U.S. expansions and partnerships. 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸

We are excited about the first DSEI in Germany in 2027, which will be part of our agenda again.
