A paradise for bookworms – or, in other words, one of the world’s most important book fairs. The Frankfurt Book Fair is currently open in the heart of Frankfurt. Here are a few figures from last year: • 238,000 visitors • 4,350 exhibitors from 93 countries • 3,500 events There’s every reason to think that interest in reading and books hasn’t waned since then. That’s one reason why well-known authors such as Gisèle Pelicot and Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead are here, reading from their work, among other things. Poetry meets prose, non-fiction meets comics, and podcasts meet illustration. Czechia is the guest country of honour, by the way. Japanese culture has its place too, with cosplay, manga and drawing workshops, as does Latin America – guest of honour 50 years ago – with the LatAm Stage. Who wouldn’t want to go now? #FrankfurtBookFair26

🇩🇪 The German chemical industry is undergoing a transformation – and Leuna is emerging as a location to watch. ♻️ In Leuna (Saxony-Anhalt), UPM is building a new biorefinery designed to help replace fossil-based raw materials with renewable, bio-based alternatives. #LeunaBiorefinery illustrates how industrial transformation can be driven by innovation: by scaling up new processes, strengthening value chains and paving the way for more sustainable production in one of Germany’s most important chemical hubs. 🏭 Why this matters beyond Leuna: Biorefineries can support the transition to lower-carbon materials, reduce dependence on fossil raw materials and open up new opportunities for sectors that rely on chemicals – from the packaging industry to mobility. 💪 For our free digital magazine "Europe’s largest economy – Investing in Germany", we visited UPM Next Generation Renewables as one of several locations that demonstrate: Germany offers a wealth of economic opportunities.
