COLOGNE, Germany — European outdoor living products trade show Spoga+Gafa reports a strong demand for exhibition space in its Creation & Care themed area, which is now 85% booked for the show, slated for June 22-24.
The Creation & Care section incorporates products for garden design, equipment and technology, as well as plants and products for their care. The section features more clearly defined product categories, which were implemented to make this year’s show easier to navigate and shop.
Registered companies include AL-KO Geräte, Biohort, Dreame, Ecovacs, Fitt, Freund Victoria, Gloria, Hörmann, Juwel H. Wüster, Keter, Mammotion, Robert Bosch Power Tools, Roborock Germany, Suncast Corporation, Sunseeker and Videx Garden.
“The fact that Creation & Care is attracting such strong interest underscores the international appeal of Spoga+Gafa,” said Claudia Maurer, director of Spoga+Gafa. “The industry is looking for platforms with a clear structure, inspiring contents and measurable added value for their own business. This is precisely what we are offering in 2026 with our more focused profile.”
The Industry Garden Association, an industry sponsor of Spoga+Gafa, will host the IVG Stand and IVG Garden Boulevard within the Creation & Care section, which are central networking and information platforms focused on exchange, industry insights and current developments. Compo, Dachser, Felco Europe, Hauert Manna Düngerwerke, Humintech, Mesto Spritzenfabrik Ernst Stockburger and SBM Life Science have confirmed their participation in the IVG Garten Boulevard.
“For the IVG, Spoga+Gafa is one of the highlights of the year. We look forward to engaging in an exchange with the industry,” said Anna Hackstein, managing director, IVG. “Our traditional trade fair party is being staged jointly with the BHB for the first time this year. We are particularly excited about this and about the Garden Boulevard, which has grown significantly in its second year.”
Spoga+Gafa also will highlight the power of technology in the Digital Garden area, a platform for digital solutions along the entire garden product value chain. Digital solutions such as merchandise management, AI-supported pricing, digital price labeling and POS solutions will be presented during the show.
Spoga+Gafa will be held June 22-24 at Koelnmesse in Cologne.
