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

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, all-inclusive. It includes the stand system, full-surface fabric-printed walls, lighting, carpet, complete build-up and dismantling, logistics 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?

Many young, innovative companies use public trade show funding programmes, for example the German federal programme supporting young innovative companies at international leading trade shows in Germany, or regional programmes. A transparent fixed-price quote makes the application easier; we provide the required documents. Check the current terms with the respective programme.
