RETTmobil 2025: Experience Innovations – Secure Your Tickets for the Specialist Program Now!

When RETTmobil International opens its doors on May 14, 2025, the annual top event for the rescue industry will begin. More than 480 exhibitors from 26 nations will showcase innovations, cutting-edge technologies, and the latest developments in emergency response. Additionally, a comprehensive specialist program awaits professionals, featuring interactive workshops, exciting lectures, and hands-on training. Tickets are now available online.

The demand is high, as workshops, training sessions, and hands-on courses of the LUKAS RESCUE LEAGUE in collaboration with the Fulda Fire Department are off to a great start. “Anyone who wants to secure a spot shouldn’t wait too long,” advises trade fair manager Sandra Hommel-Liebich.

The hands-on workshop takes place three times a day in the outdoor area, offering fire department and emergency service teams realistic training scenarios, including rescue operations involving electric vehicles and managing complex traffic accidents under time pressure.

Specialist Program: Diverse, Intensive, and Forward-Thinking
The specialist program impresses with its thematic diversity and practical relevance. Medical emergency service training is divided into seven key focus areas, covering topics such as resuscitation, major events, specific hazard situations, and neonatal care – including interactive model-based exercises. Also on the agenda are evaluation in training and continuing education, challenges in traffic accident response, and interdisciplinary collaboration with other specialized services.

The “Meet the Experts” format will focus on two highly relevant topics: “Rescue Service Reform” and “New Challenges, New Solutions – Acute Medicine in Emergency Services.” Experts from administration, hospitals, and field practice will explore these issues from different perspectives and engage in discussions with attendees.

Hands-On: Workshops for True Professionals
A key highlight of RETTmobil is the hands-on workshops, where participants work in small groups under the guidance of selected experts. This year’s program includes emergency ultrasound, CPR feedback, advanced airway management, bleeding control, and neonatal care – with interactive exercises using models.

Practical Exercise: Rescue After a Severe Accident
Another highlight is the hands-on exercise on medical-technical rescue after a traffic accident involving a car and an agricultural vehicle, with multiple trapped casualties. Following last year’s successful exercise with the Johanniter Air Rescue, this year, the Malteser Emergency Services from Hesse and the Fulda Fire Department will conduct a highly realistic simulation.

Pure Action: Experience the Off-Road Course Up Close
A long-time visitor favorite: the off-road course, where attendees can ride in high-performance rescue vehicles. Participants include Daimler Truck AG with a Unimog U5023, the German Red Cross headquarters with a Unimog ambulance and a Scania 6×6 truck, EDAG Engineering GmbH with their Ford Defender, THT Polička with a Tatra fire truck, and QUAD am Ring, navigating the course with a Ranger XP 1000.

Meeting Point for the Rescue Industry
Both the trade fair and the specialist program at RETTmobil uniquely reflect the complexity of the emergency services industry. Professionals, users, and procurement specialists from aid organizations, fire departments, private emergency services, military medical services, government agencies, and hospitals gather here. Many attendees are actively involved – either professionally or as volunteers – not only in emergency rescue or patient transport but also in air, mountain, water, and high-altitude rescue, fire departments, search and rescue operations with dogs, or psychosocial emergency support.

“Professionals and decision-makers in emergency services love coming to RETTmobil International. This leading trade fair is a meeting place for the entire emergency response community, a platform for exchanging knowledge and technology – and this time, also a forum to discuss the impact of recent changes on the rescue industry and civil protection,” says Georg Khevenhüller, President of the Malteser Emergency Service and patron of RETTmobil International 2025.
