Mesh with FritzBox?

Any chance to build a mesh with FritzBox and Meraki AP?

Note: Only Cisco Meraki APs can function as repeaters and gateways. Wireless MX security appliances, Z-Series teleworker gateways, and third-party APs cannot participate in a wireless mesh

Sorry no, the mesh repeater links are only formed between Meraki APs being managed in the same Meraki Dashboard organization, not meant to interoperate with FritzBox or other residential style gateways or repeaters.

Is there a chance that mesh will get a standard industry protocol so that it will work with all vendors?

I think that's highly unlikely. Mixed vendor Wi-Fi deployments are not recommended. Let alone meshing between different vendors.
