START Exhibition in Bremen putting the spotlight on franchising

The organisers of the next START Exhibition in Bremen, which is due to take place on 5th and 6th May, are hoping to copy the success of last year’s fair. More than 2,600 visitors went to the exhibition in 2005 to learn more about business start-ups.

The START Exhibition sees itself as being a platform for people looking to set up their business and/or who are interested in being a franchise partner as well as for young entrepreneurs. Whilst exhibitors display their systems, products and services, experts provide tips and advice in workshops, talks and seminars. The subjects covered range from financing and grants, business start-up concepts and innovative ideas to business growth strategies. Emphasis is traditionally put on franchising.

Since 1998, the START Exhibition has not only taken place in Bremen but also in the German city of Essen in the autumn – this year the dates are 22nd to 24th September. Further information in German and English can be found at the website, www.start-messe.de.
