Frankfurt am Main

The Außenwirtschaftstag Hessen, organised by the Hessisches Ministerium für Wirtschaft and the IHKs, is the largest foreign-trade event in central Germany — gathering exporters, importers and service providers from across the DACH region and beyond.

With 38 EU member states and partners moving toward digital VAT reporting between now and 2030, e-invoicing has become a core operational concern for any company crossing borders. The 2026 edition dedicates a full track to the topic.

2026 Focus Topics

ViDA and cross-border DRR

Practical impact of EU Digital Reporting Requirements on intra-EU sales from 2030.

France PPF + Italy SDI

How to handle two of Europe's most demanding clearance models in parallel.

Peppol PINT in APAC

Onboarding to Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Australia networks via a single Access Point.

Mittelstand exporter clinic

Open Q&A: how to stay compliant when shipping to 20+ jurisdictions with one ERP.

Why It Matters for Exporters

A German exporter trading with France, Italy, Spain, Poland and Romania is already navigating five different mandates — each with its own format, transmission channel and storage rules. Without harmonisation, the cost of compliance scales linearly with every new market.

The Hessen track will show how a single multi-country platform can absorb that complexity, leaving finance teams to focus on the trade itself.
