Whether you are exhibiting your own product or ploughing your own furrow as a franchise partner, Franchise Expo Austria (FEXA) will be of interest to firms and potential franchise partners alike:
- The event is aimed at companies wishing to use franchising to expand, and are thus looking for franchise partners.
- FEXA also extends an invitation to anyone considering going independent with a franchise.
The event is thus an ideal platform for showcasing your own brand, making good connections, expanding networks, and experiencing the infinite variety of franchising in a live environment.
More than 45 Austrian and international franchise brands from a wide range of sectors will be in attendance this year, including McDonald's, bp, Anytime Fitness, Anker, Mrs.Sporty, Mein Biomarkt, Unimarkt, Visa to America, Motorhome Depot, Kinderluft, Green & Clean, Sushi Palace.
The exhibition will once again be complemented by a richly varied fringe programme of keynote addresses, panel discussions and presentations focused on topics such as the opportunities and challenges of building up a franchise brand, legal materials (trademark law, contracts, marketing…), body language, mindset and presentation, along with a host of success stories.
FEXA 2025 also promises plenty of opportunity to swap notes with top players in the sector.
Austria currently boasts more than 500 franchise systems, with some 10,000 franchise partners in operation at 13,000 locations, and more than 90,000 people are employed by Austria’s franchises. The sector records an annual net turnover of some €11.8 billion.
