A+A 2027 – The World’s Biggest Event for Safety and Health at Work

October 19-22, 2027

A+A is the world’s largest trade fair for safety, security and health at work. A+A 2025 attracted 2,340 exhibitors from 70 countries and 67,000 trade visitors from 150 countries compared to 2,200 exhibitors from 58 countries in 2023. The end-of-show press release stated that the “A+A 2025 convinced with high international attendance, high-caliber visitor quality and palpable dynamics in the exhibition halls.”

A+A takes place in Dusseldorf every two years. It is complemented by the International International A+A Congress, jointly organized by Messe Düsseldorf and the respective partner organization, typically the German Federal Association of Occupational Safety and Health (BASI). Together, the two events cover all aspects of a holistic workplace injury prevention culture, ranging from occupational safety and health procedures to workplace design and operational risk management.

The specific focus of the 2025 congress was Sustainable Safety and Health at Work, including prevention strategies such as the “Vision Zero” and occupational science findings from application-oriented research. The congress built an attractive bridge between innovative products and services as well as the expertise of company experts, scientific findings, and best practice solutions.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
