After travelling from all across Europe, the USA, Japan, Qatar, China, Kuwait, India and for the first time, Djibouti – a small republic in east Africa, 196 exhibitors are presenting their innovations and services at the international amateur radio exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

The Exhibitor, attending the Ham Radio 2017 from 33 countries have embraced the spirit of the show - “Die Welt zu Gast in Deutschland” – Germany welcomes the world.

“We have a 50 percent increase in exhibitor numbers. The fantasy area has grown especially dramatically.”

— Petra Rathgeber, project leader at Messe Friedrichshafen

The motto also applies to the amateur radio operators world championship that will be held in Germany in the coming year.

At the Maker Faire Bodensee, taking place alongside the Ham Radio, 100 exhibitors will present themselves and offer hobbyists and tinkerers new inspiration.
