Econogy – Sustainability at VIATT

In a world of constant change, sustainable production and action becomes a constant. VIATT promotes sustainability with a range of interesting actions and gives green pioneers a platform with Messe Frankfurt’s new Texpertise Econogy concept.

"Econogy" stands for all sustainability activities of our Texpertise Network across international trade fairs and provides orientation. The term "Econogy" combines economy and ecology in one word and shows how decisive sustainability is today for the economic success of a company.

Look out for the Econogy icon at the fairground and on our website to guide you to exhibitors with sustainable solutions and our content formats to provide you with the latest knowledge.
