less energy consumption
From 2006 to 2016 energy consumption decreased from 4.4 million to 3.5 million kilowatt hours despite significantly more events being held here. In 2019 the last event halls were fitted with LED lamps which means all halls including the ÖVB Arena are now energy efficiently lit.
History
In the beginning, the venue was used mainly for hire business. However, today 110 events are held in MESSE BREMEN & the ÖVB Arena each year of which 60 are trade fairs and congresses.
Of the venue’s own events, it is the nine-day HanseLife consumer trade fair which will soon have 80,000 visitors per year which is the most popular. Likewise, the fish international, jazzahead! and the Bremen Classic Motorshow also attract an international audience.
