From 8 to 10 May 2025, Leipzig will once again become the meeting place for professionals from the fields of therapy, rehabilitation and prevention. therapie LEIPZIG will be bigger and more diverse than in previous years. With a new record number of exhibitors, participation from 18 countries and the use of two halls for the first time, the trade fair is responding visibly to the growing need for information and exchange within the industry. Hall 1 brings together classic topics of orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation, while Hall 3 sets additional focal points with new space concepts and interactive offerings. Numerous companies are using the trade fair to present practical innovations – from digital practice software and networked training systems to new rehabilitation equipment for therapy and prevention. This clearly shows how strongly digitalisation, automation and data analysis have now become part of everyday therapeutic practice. The exhibitor field is complemented by 20 start-ups, which will present their concepts in both halls of the Leipzig Exhibition Centre and seek targeted dialogue with established providers.
Once again, a central element of therapie LEIPZIG 2025 is the extensive congress programme. With over 150 specialist presentations, it offers one of the largest training platforms in the German-speaking world for therapeutic professions. The content ranges from evidence-based therapy approaches and new training methods to practice-oriented workshops that focus on specific applications. A total of 27 professional associations, specialist societies and institutional partners are participating in the congress. This broad participation ensures a balanced mix of scientific depth and practical relevance. Formats that openly address current challenges are particularly in demand. These include panel discussions on remuneration systems, structural conditions in healthcare, skills shortages and new prevention strategies in the area of conflict between outpatient and inpatient therapy.
With its new formats, therapie LEIPZIG 2025 is consistently pursuing the goal of not only imparting knowledge, but also making it tangible. Over 200 interactive contributions in five specialist forums and several action areas invite visitors to participate, test and discuss. Product tests, live demonstrations and short keynote speeches enable trade visitors to immediately evaluate new approaches and classify them in their own work context. Special attention is being paid to the newly designed health campus in Hall 3. Here, topics such as neuroathletics, ergonomic working, sports therapy concepts and preventive training methods will be presented in a bundled format. The campus also serves as a meeting place for professional exchange between different occupational groups and promotes networking across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Beyond product and knowledge transfer, therapie LEIPZIG increasingly sees itself as a platform for strategic industry dialogue. The trade fair addresses key questions about the future direction of therapeutic care and brings together stakeholders from practice, science, industry and associations. Topics such as interdisciplinary cooperation, the digitalisation of care processes and the role of prevention in the healthcare system are a common thread running through the trade fair and congress. With its expanded floor space, new formats and expanded congress programme, therapie LEIPZIG 2025 is underlining its claim to not only reflect current developments, but also to actively contribute to the further development of the industry. For trade visitors, this offers an event that meaningfully combines information, training and exchange and focuses on the future of therapeutic care.
