Exhibition Stands for Startups from €5,999

For founders & young companies

Why EXPRESS fits startups

A professional trade show appearance traditionally takes 8–12 weeks of lead time and a five-figure custom-build budget. For startups, both are rarely feasible. The EXPRESS fixed-price system stand solves exactly these three bottlenecks.

Budget

Fixed price from €5,999

One fixed price for the booth. No hidden costs, logistics shown separately. Fits a pre-seed or seed budget and can be planned cleanly against a funding round.

Good questions

Frequently asked,
Exhibition stands for startups

How much does an exhibition stand for a startup cost?

A fully equipped EXPRESS system stand for startups starts at €5,999 net per trade show appearance, as a fixed price plus logistics costs. It includes the stand system, full-surface fabric-printed walls, lighting, carpet, complete build-up and dismantling and project coordination. No hidden costs, no 8–12 weeks lead time like a classic custom build.

Is the exhibition stand suitable for first-time exhibitors with no event experience?

Yes. EXPRESS is made especially for first-time exhibitors: we handle planning, logistics, build-up and dismantling completely. You need no in-house event team and no exhibition-build know-how. You only supply your artwork (or have us design it) and focus on your visitors on the show day.

How quickly can a startup get an exhibition stand at short notice?

After your enquiry you receive the fixed-price quote within 24 hours. The regular delivery time is around 4 weeks from print-data approval. For shorter lead times we assess individually whether an express setup with a surcharge is possible, ideal for spontaneous trade show participation.

Which stand size fits a startup budget?

For startups a corner stand or row stand in size S (9–16 sqm) is usually enough, from €5,999 fixed price. That delivers a professional, full-surface printed appearance on a compact budget. As the company grows, you can easily scale up later to M (18–25 sqm) or L (25–36 sqm).

Is there trade show funding for startups?

Yes, but usually not for your own booth. The German federal programme Young Innovators only supports young innovative companies on its joint pavilion. Some German states also fund individual booths, often only the floor space from the organiser. For such programmes we provide a binding fixed-price quote. Apply before you commission anything, and check the terms with the respective programme.
