REHACARE 2025 TO PRESENT INNOVATIONS FOR AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY

   REHARE 2025, International Trade Fair for Rehabilitation and Care, will be held from September 17 – 20, 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany with the guiding theme “Self-Determined Living” – thereby sending a strong signal: Inclusion through Innovation. As the world’s only trade fair that unites the entire self-determined living community – from people affected and relatives,  solutions providers, associations and start-ups to decision-makers from politics, science and business – REHACARE takes on an indispensable social function.

Unique in terms of diversity, social relevance and forward- looking solutions

   REHACARE is so much more than just a trade fair. It is a sounding board for those affected, a stage for innovations and a catalyst for social change. Its declared aim is to raise greater awareness for self-determined living – and to break down both physical and mental barriers.

   In 2025, REHACARE will impressively demonstrate how technological, digital and social innovations already contribute to inclusion today – and which are needed to shape the inclusive society of tomorrow. The central question is: “What innovations does an inclusive society need – and which already exist today?”

   Answers to this will be provided by start-ups, long-established companies from Germany and abroad as well as civil society initiatives showing new ways towards participation – such as by digital assistance systems, smart mobility solutions, smart care aids or inclusive sports as offered in cooperation with the “Behinderten- und Rehabilitationssportverband” (Disabled and Rehabilitation Sports Association - BRSNW). It's not just the “what” that counts, but also the ‘who’ and “how”: REHACARE sees itself as a platform for a variety of perspectives and as a future laboratory for inclusion.

   “Jointly with our proven partners including the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the German Statutory Accident Insurance (“Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung - DGUV), the Federal Working Group of Self-Help Organizations for People with Disabilities, Chronic Diseases and their Relatives (“Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Selbsthilfe” - BAG SELBSTHILFE e.V.)  and the children’s rehabilitation network rehaKIND, to name but a few, as well as numerous international exhibitors we consistently continue our commitment to an inclusive society,” explains Hannes Niemann, Director REHACARE.
