Frankfurter Buchmesse

Die Frankfurter Buchmesse ist wichtigster internationaler Handelsplatz für Inhalte – von Romanen über Kinderbücher hin zu wissenschaftlichen Datenbanken. Hier treffen sich Experten aus dem weltweiten Publishing mit Partnern aus der Technologiebranche und den angrenzenden Kreativindustrien wie Film und Games. Gleichzeitig ist die Messe kulturelles Großereignis und macht die Mainmetropole Frankfurt

jedes Jahr für fünf Tage zum Zentrum der internationalen Medienwelt. Frankfurter Buchmesse is the most important international trading place for content, from novels and children’s books to academic databases. Publishing professionals from around the world meet here with partners from the technology sector and from related creative industries, such as film and games; it is here that new cooperation agreements and business models find their first inspiration. At the same time, the Book Fair is also a huge cultural event which, for five days every year, turns Frankfurt on the Main into the centre of the international media world.

🐗📖This year's Frankfurt Kids Conference 2025: "Children’s Books in a Fragile World".

Cornelia Funke is passing on the torch to this year’s keynote speaker, Axel Scheffler, with the following words:

🤝"I'm so happy to pass the baton to Axel. His art has enchanted my children and now it enchants my granddaughter Lyra; it is timeless and there is a kindness in it that makes us all believe in a world ruled by friendship, tender and fair despite all the darkness gathering outside. I am sure Axel will inspire all book makers to bring even more diverse and joyful books to children and thereby build a world that comes a little closer to the Gruffalo woods”.
