History

Jaarbeurs was founded on 6 May 1916 in the office of the mayor of Utrecht, as a response to the economic crisis after the First World War. The Jaarbeurs was built to provide a new impulse for Dutch trade and industry. During the opening of the 25th Jaarbeurs on September 8, 1931, the predicate “Royal” was awarded and we became the Royal Jaarbeurs.

Established to promote trade and industry and therefore to stimulate prosperity, now, more than 100 years later, this ideal still forms the foundation of the Jaarbeurs.

What we do

We organise various trade and public events every year, both in the Netherlands and worldwide. Connecting supply and demand and bringing exhibitors into contact with the right target group(s) is our main focus.
