VerSous Moscow

The trade fair “VerSous” is a highly specialised B2B platform for next-generation self-service and automation technologies, connecting businesses, urban environments and digital infrastructures. It takes place at the Timiryazev Center, a modern venue in Moscow that serves as a hub for innovation, commerce and urban development. The event is organised by EMTG Ltd., an experienced provider of international trade fairs and conference formats, with a strong focus on B2B networking and advisory services in franchising and digital media.

VerSous is not conceived as a traditional product showcase, but as a strategic marketplace for practical solutions that enhance operational efficiency, urban quality of life and technological integration. It centres on three clearly defined, interconnected themes: technologies for self-service business models, intelligent urban infrastructure, and the underlying systems and integration platforms. This creates a distinct emphasis on scalable, ready-to-deploy solutions—from automated retail formats and digital food service concepts to integrated smart city systems.

The exhibition presents specialised products and services designed to support the shift towards automated, data-driven business models. These include self-checkout systems, next-generation vending machines, unmanned retail outlets, digital food courts, smart parcel lockers, charging infrastructure, and software solutions for payment processing, IoT integration and operations management. The offering is complemented by hardware components, communication networks and comprehensive integration solutions that enable the development of fully connected digital ecosystems.

The significance of the event extends well beyond technology transfer. In a metropolis like Moscow—positioned as an innovation hub between Europe and Asia—VerSous directly addresses the challenges facing rapidly growing cities and dynamic markets. It provides a platform for international suppliers, investors and decision-makers to exchange insights and develop robust partnerships with both local and global impact.

Highlights include hands-on live demonstrations, allowing visitors to experience fully operational systems in real-world scenarios, alongside an extensive business programme featuring expert presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of sectors, including retail, food service, real estate development, logistics, fintech, IT, urban planning and infrastructure. Accordingly, the professional audience is equally diverse, comprising decision-makers from retail and hospitality, property and urban service operators, technology providers, system integrators, as well as representatives of public institutions and smart city initiatives. This focused B2B orientation ensures strong relevance and facilitates targeted business development.

Finally, the event stands out not only for its thematic focus but also for its location. The Timiryazev Center in Moscow is well connected, both via public transport and international airports, and offers modern infrastructure to support an efficient and comfortable event experience. VerSous is thus positioned as a key meeting point for forward-looking solutions at the intersection of technology, business and urban development.

The VerSous will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 29. September to Thursday, 01. October 2026 in Moscow.
