How can trade fair visitors instantly find the exhibitors, products, and technologies that perfectly match their needs – without endless searching?
With our project Exposense, we demonstrate how modern AI solutions – powered by language models and vector databases – take business matching to the next level.

AI Meets Exhibitor Knowledge

At the heart of Exposense lies a powerful AI system that aggregates deep knowledge about exhibitors and makes it searchable through natural language. This includes:

• Product and service offerings

• Industry applications and technology focus

• Locations, key contacts, and areas of expertise

• Technical details, certifications, and use cases

• Semantic links between companies, technologies, and solutions

The data is not manually curated – it is automatically extracted from structured sources, websites, brochures, catalogs, PDFs and more. This content is processed using large language models (LLMs) and stored in a vector database for high-performance retrieval.

Natural Language as the Interface

The innovation: Visitors don’t need to search catalogs or click through filters.
They simply ask questions – in natural, everyday language:

• “I'm looking for sustainable packaging suppliers for food products.”

• “Which exhibitors work with high-precision aluminum components?”

• “Who offers monitoring solutions for cleanroom processes?”

The AI understands the intent, context and technical nuances – and returns precise, relevant results from the entire knowledge base: matching exhibitors, offers, and contact details.

It’s smart, efficient, and conversational – and makes every interaction more meaningful.

Benefits for Trade Fair Organizers

With Exposense, trade fairs unlock a new layer of value:

• Higher quality business contacts for visitors and exhibitors

• Increased visibility for relevant companies

• Better orientation and satisfaction for all attendees

• AI as a value-added service that modernizes the experience

• Simple integration via chat widget, app feature, or info terminal

Exposense becomes a true differentiator for organizers – transforming passive information into an intelligent, interactive matchmaking system.
