Name: 12th Student Company Fair
Start: 2026-02-17
End: 2026-02-18
Location: Freizeit- und Erholungszentrum Wuhlheide (FEZ)

From 17 to 18 February 2026, FEZ Berlin will host the 12th Student Company Fair, becoming a forum for practical economic education and youth engagement.

Students from various federal states will present their own companies and share insights into innovative business ideas and work processes.

This year's edition will focus on the highly relevant social topics of inclusion and participation. This will be reflected in the complete accompaniment of the stage programme by sign language interpreters, making the event accessible to a wide audience.

As well as product presentations, the fair provides an interactive networking and skills development platform, supported by a diverse range of workshops. Exchanging ideas between young initiatives promotes not only economic understanding, but also social responsibility in entrepreneurial activity.

On 18 February, the fair will open its doors to the general public, offering free admission and enabling interested visitors and school groups to engage in direct dialogue with the young entrepreneurs.
