GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH is the Munich-based organiser of Germany’s leading trade fairs and congresses for the skilled trades and the Mittelstand. Founded in 1948 and the long-standing operator behind the Internationale Handwerksmesse (IHM), Handwerk & Design, and the future-facing Zukunft Handwerk congress, GHM has been the reliable partner of the trades for more than 75 years. From its Riem headquarters it develops, hosts and organises roughly ten major B2B and consumer fairs each year, reaching around 20,000 exhibitor contacts and close to 600,000 visitors across multiple German venues.
Within the CCI Network, GHM is the institutional host of Zukunft Handwerk 2025 at the ICM Internationales Congress Center München — the platform where the network’s research, lab work, and partner companies converge with policy, industry and craft leadership.
