IAA MOBILITY Munich

IAA MOBILITY (International Motor Show MOBILITY) is the world’s leading trade fair for mobility and one of the most established events of its kind. First held in 1897, it represents over a century of technological innovation. Today, it stands for a comprehensive understanding of mobility that unites technology, society, and sustainability. Organized by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), the event takes place every two years at Messe München – a venue closely connected to the automotive sector and known for its innovative strength.

What sets IAA MOBILITY apart is its consistent focus on forward-looking mobility solutions. Unlike traditional auto shows, it not only brings together vehicle manufacturers but also connects stakeholders from the tech, energy, infrastructure, and digital sectors. This creates a dynamic environment where new mobility concepts – such as e-bikes, micromobility, shared mobility models, and AI-powered vehicle software – are presented alongside cutting-edge drive technologies and semiconductor innovations. At the core are themes such as individual and collective mobility, smart infrastructure, and sustainable, resource-efficient solutions.

A key focus is placed on connected mobility. Software-defined vehicles that integrate seamlessly into users’ digital lives illustrate the car’s evolution into an intelligent mobility platform. In this context, the event serves not only as a stage for global premieres and technological breakthroughs but also as a hub for dialogue. Expert talks, panel discussions, and forums provide in-depth insights into current developments in research and industry. Visitors gain access to forward-looking studies, pioneering prototypes, and innovations presented for the first time—many of which help shape the future of mobility.

IAA MOBILITY functions both as a trade fair and a public event, attracting a diverse audience—from international industry professionals and tech companies to start-ups and private visitors with an interest in next-generation mobility. Exhibitors span a wide range of sectors, including automotive manufacturing, supply industries, IT, energy, urban planning, and mobility services.

Munich, as a high-tech hub with a strong presence of global mobility and technology leaders, offers the ideal setting. Messe München is one of Europe’s most modern exhibition centers and is easily accessible by train, air, and public transport. It is the perfect meeting place for everyone committed to shaping the mobility of tomorrow.

The IAA MOBILITY takes place biennially, and therefore for the sixty-ninth time previsibly in September 2027 in Munich.
