The Resilience Expo is committed to showcasing impactful, transferable, and innovative solutions for climate change adaptation – and scaling them up across regions, nationally, and internationally. 

The Expo pursues four strategic objectives: 

1. Advancing and promoting the climate adaptation economy as an independent economic sector with international visibility. 

2. Connecting stakeholders from business, science, and politics to enable knowledge transfer, technological innovation, and practical cooperation. 

3. Positioning NRW as a leading region of climate resilience – within an area shaped by structural change and innovation. 

4. Internationalizing the climate adaptation economy – from the Rhenish region to the world, and vice versa. 

The Resilience Expo is for everyone ready to take responsibility – for themselves, their organizations, and society.
Climate adaptation is more than an investment: it’s a strategic opportunity to increase efficiency, reduce risk, and gain a sustainable market position. 

Who is the Expo for? 

• Companies with innovative adaptation solutions as drivers of climate-resilient transformation. We welcome solution providers from NRW, Germany, and around the world. 

• Scientific institutions and research networks in resilience, sustainability, and climate change, offering expertise and demonstrable innovation for the adaptation economy. 

• Political decision-makers at the EU, national, state, and municipal levels, looking to explore forward-thinking policy solutions. 

• Public administrations in planning, infrastructure, and civil protection seeking tangible, innovative, and scalable ideas. 

• Urban, regional, and project developers, as key actors in implementing climate adaptation strategies. 

• Associations, chambers, and networks in the construction, energy, environment, and infrastructure sectors – both as contributors and beneficiaries of adaptation solutions. 

• Investors, funding institutions, and the insurance industry, who enable and secure climate-resilient transformation, and are critical actors in this growing sector at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and public welfare. 

The event is also open to everyone offering or seeking forward-thinking, sustainable solutions. 

Companies that act early in response to the impacts of climate change secure not only long-term markets and investments but also position themselves as pioneers in a transforming economy.
Climate adaptation is a strategic opportunity for boosting efficiency and minimizing risk. 

Acting resilient means staying competitive – we show the way. 

The Resilience Expo supports the climate adaptation economy – a key sector for building a resilient society.
This dynamic growth market, located at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and public services, offers innovative products and services and holds tremendous economic potential. 

The Expo in the Rhenish region shines a light on this future market and promotes its development in NRW, throughout Germany, and internationally. 

Coming soon: data and facts about the climate adaptation economy in the Rhenish region, NRW, and Germany. 

We create opportunities for both start-ups and established companies in the growing future market of climate adaptation – regionally, nationally, and globally. 

A region in structural transition is becoming a marketplace for climate-resilient transformation. 

The Rhenish mining region is evolving into a model region for a resilient and sustainable future.
Here, economic renewal and ecological responsibility go hand in hand.
In collaboration with local actors, the Expo will be closely connected to regional innovation projects – demonstrating internationally how structural change can succeed: innovative, climate-proof, and future-oriented.
