That was ALTENPFLEGE 2025!

We look back on three inspiring and eventful days, full of new perspectives, innovative solutions and valuable encounters.

ALTENPFLEGE 2025 was the central meeting point for the care sector in Germany. Under the motto ‘who CAREs? me!’, the leading trade fair for inpatient and outpatient care presented itself as an important platform for innovation, knowledge transfer and dialogue. Around 22,000 visitors came to Nuremberg to find out about new products, solutions and inspiration for the care of tomorrow.

With a total of 560 exhibitors on an area of 36,000 square metres, the trade fair showcased a broad spectrum - from care aids, digitalisation and artificial intelligence to service offerings and training. ALTENPFLEGE 2025 impressively confirmed its role as a driving force for an industry in transition. For many exhibitors, the exhibition is a must-attend event.
