Eurobike Investors’ lounge to tap into Frankfurt’s financial clout

With investment into the cycling industry running at a high, Eurobike will utilise its Frankfurt debut to build in a new investors’ lounge.

Reserved for the trade days of 13th to 15th of July, the event will offer up a schedule of market development presentations, targeted tours of the show and exclusive lounge meetings in a location adjoined to the ‘New Mobility’ area in Hall 8.

As a financial hub in Europe, Eurobike hope that its partnership with Kindermann Value Creation GmbH will drive participation. This partner has close connections to financial donors who have invested in businesses from the bike, sports and outdoor sectors.

Managing Director Ralf Kindermann explains: “In the last twelve months, there have been more than 20 transactions in our industry and an increasing number of investment funds are becoming owners of companies. With good contacts, the Eurobike Investors’ Lounge is set to become an exclusive meeting point not only for current investors and owners but also for those with aspirations in this field. Partners and manager of funds and family offices will receive personal support, including market development presentations and guided tours of the trade show.”

“Through the Eurobike Investors’ Lounge, we are offering companies seeking investment or openings for cooperation in the on-trend bike and mobility markets an ideal opportunity for dialogue. The circumstances and timing could not be better. Relocation of the leading trade fair from Lake Constance to the financial and business hub of Frankfurt along with developments in the market due to the pandemic, globalisation and change in energy policy, not to mention the high level of dynamics within the ‘urban mobility’ ecosystem, are all drivers of change,” says fairnamic Managing Director Stefan Reisinger.

Tickets for the Investors’ Lounge will be available in limited numbers via the Eurobike website from May.

The Frankfurt debut will offer up 100,000 square metres of exhibition and will further extend into a public-facing event, running on the weekend directly after the trade-only invite.
