LIFT EXPO ITALIA Milan

LIFT EXPO ITALIA is an international trade fair dedicated exclusively to the lift and escalator industry and open to trade visitors only. It takes place at Allianz MiCo – Milano Convention Centre in Milan, one of Europe’s largest congress and exhibition venues. Held biennially, the event brings together manufacturers, suppliers, planners, engineers, architects, facility managers and industry associations from around the world. It is organised by Lift Expo Italia S.r.l., a specialist exhibition company committed to advancing and internationalising the lift sector.

Positioned as a hands-on innovation platform, LIFT EXPO ITALIA showcases a comprehensive range of products and solutions. These include components and accessories such as safety and monitoring systems, hoisting ropes, car cabins, doors and drive technology, as well as complete lift and escalator systems, modernisation solutions for existing buildings, and digital control and visualisation technologies. The exhibition is complemented by a professionally curated conference programme featuring technical presentations, product launches and keynote sessions addressing market trends, standards and regulatory developments. Key themes include safety, energy efficiency, accessibility and the integration of vertical mobility into established urban environments, reflecting the pressing challenges faced by European cities.

A defining feature of the event is its strong B2B focus. Dedicated meeting areas facilitate targeted business discussions between manufacturers, suppliers, property developers and international buyers. As such, LIFT EXPO ITALIA serves not only as a product showcase but also as a strategic networking hub for the industry. Exhibitors represent the full value chain, including lift and escalator engineering, component manufacturing, control and safety systems, building services engineering, and related engineering and service providers. Visitors comprise decision-makers and technical professionals from lift companies, the construction and real estate sectors, architectural and design practices, as well as maintenance and service organisations.

In addition to its clear sector focus, LIFT EXPO ITALIA benefits from a prime location. Allianz MiCo is conveniently situated close to Milan’s city centre, with excellent public transport links and easy access from the international airports of Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate. This ensures optimal conditions for an efficient, internationally oriented industry gathering in one of Europe’s most economically dynamic regions.

The third edition of the LIFT EXPO ITALIA takes place on 3 days from Wed., 28.10.2026 to Fri., 30.10.2026 in Milan.
