The h+h community

h+h cologne is more than just a trade fair. It is a lively creative space where new ideas are born, synergies grow and genuine partnerships are fostered. The centrepiece of the trade fair is the community itself: People, who create with heart, hand and passion, characterising the handicraft industry with their creativity and energy.

With its new brand presence and the claim "Inspired by Crafts. Built for Business.", the trade fair is demonstrating even more clearly what this community stands for: the connection between the passion for handicrafts, economic strength and genuine cooperation.

The h+h community unites people who work with love for detail, the courage to embrace new ideas and true craftsmanship. Here connections are forged that foster inspiration - supported by openness, knowledge transfer and a collaborative exchange.

h+h cologne's success is precisely shaped by this: community, the exchange of experiences and genuine mutual support.

Whether in workshops, talks, masterclasses or interactive formats: The exhibitors, dealers, designers and branch experts actively share their knowledge. Their contributions transform the trade fair into a place where innovation, tradition and economic efficiency go hand in hand. Together solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow are developed – always with the goal of strengthening the specialised trade sustainably and making it future-proof.

h+h cologne combines modern impulses with the roots of traditional handicraft techniques. The new brand identity precisely reflects this connection: fresh, modern and creative - and yet deeply rooted in craftmanship.

This combination is what turns h+h cologne and its community into a driving force for the future of the industry.

Anyone, who is part of the h+h community, becomes part of a unique network that pools knowledge, promotes cooperation and creates opportunities. This generates scope for ideas, exchange and growth - together, at eye level and with the aim of actively driving the industry forward.
