Looking to the future: the focus topics at DACH+HOLZ International 2026
As the leading trade fair for the roof and timber construction industry, DACH+HOLZ International tracks important topics and keeps an eye on what is happening in the trade. This is also reflected in the focus topics.
DACH+HOLZ International will continue to focus on the most important future topics for the industry in 2026. These will be reflected not only in the focus topics of the trade fair, but also in the workspaces.
The focus topics of DACH+HOLZ International 2026
These future topics are the focus of attention:
- Timber construction

- Digitalisation & social media
You will be visible at the exhibition grounds in Cologne, at the exhibitors' stands, in the networking formats and lecture programmes.
The Workspaces
They will be visible at the exhibition grounds in Cologne, at the exhibitors' stands, in the networking formats and in the lecture programme.
The Workspaces concept, which exhibitors and visitors were able to experience in 2024, is being further developed. In Halls 6, 7 and 8, you will find thematically structured forums. There you can exchange ideas, learn more and be inspired on topics such as ‘Future’, 'Wood' or ‘Metal’!
For the first time, you can get involved in the workspaces as an exhibitor and use the platform for your own content. Innovative approaches, such as those relating to green roofs and facades, energy-generating roof systems or AI-supported applications, will thus gain greater visibility within the DACH+HOLZ International programme.
Don't miss the next DACH+HOLZ and help make the trade fair days from 24 to 27 February 2026 in Cologne as unforgettable as in previous years. We look forward to exchanging ideas with you!
