Visitor registration open now: Comprehensive hygiene and safety concept is making January 2022 edition of Neonyt possible

Based on the latest decisions made by the German federal government and the regional government of the state of Hesse, stricter health and hygiene regulations are being placed on public life and therefore also on large-scale events. Neonyt will be taking place from 18-20 January 2022 under Germany’s so-called ‘2G’ rule (only for those who have been fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from COVID-19).

From today, B2B visitors and press representatives can redeem their free admission ticket for Neonyt: as things currently stand, the event will be able to go ahead under the country’s ‘2G’ rule. Only those who have been fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from COVID-19 will therefore be granted admission to the event – and that applies to all participants in the tradeshow: labels, partners and service providers, visitors and the entire Neonyt team.

“The health and safety of all participants is our utmost priority,” says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President of Textiles & Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt GmbH. “Enquiries by Messe Frankfurt’s international sales partners and the ongoing communication with key accounts are showing valid results – the majority of Neonyt participants have been fully vaccinated with the EU-approved vaccines.”

Messe Frankfurt has developed an all-encompassing and extremely detailed safety and hygiene concept, which has already proven itself at many events on the trade fair grounds. The event will be organised and implemented in line with the highest hygiene standards and Neonyt will offer all participants a safe platform for business and networking.

In adherence with all mandatory measures, it will be possible to finally offer the sustainable fashion industry an inspiring Neonyt experience once again this January, when the buzz of the fashion business comes to Frankfurt! As it currently stands, the events planned by AAAREA to take place around the city of Frankfurt and the rest of the city-wide activities organised by a variety of stakeholders can all safely go ahead under the ‘2G’ rule: only for people who can prove that they have been fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from COVID-19. This January, Frankfurt will become the place to be for fashion brands, retailers and buyers, sustainable lifestyle enthusiasts and fashion professionals – for the entire cross-sector community of Neonyt and Frankfurt Fashion Week.

Register now and experience fashion live and in person again!

Neonyt is a B2B event aimed exclusively at industry and press representatives – end consumers are still not permitted to attend.

For the participants of all tradeshows taking place during Frankfurt Fashion Week, admission will only be possible with a digital ticket.

Their personalised ticket will then be saved in the app. Please note: the ticket can only be accessed via the FFW app and will not be sent separately by e-mail.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.

Techtextil 2026: Between innovation pressure & market reality

Together, the two trade fairs form a closely integrated presentation and working platform along the entire textile value chain – from material development to finished applications.

In this interview, Dr. Janpeter Horn (VDMA) discusses the current challenges facing textile machinery manufacturers, shaped by geopolitical tensions, regulatory developments and subdued investment. He also outlines why innovation strength, integrated solutions and strategic positioning remain key to global competitiveness.
