InnoTrans 2022 will run from 20 to 23 September and will occupy the entire exhibition grounds at Germany’s Messe Berlin, including the new trade fair hall hub27.

Ninety-five per cent of the exhibition area is currently occupied, while the Outdoor Display with 3,500m of rail track is fully booked.

“In view of the difficult overall conditions and latest developments, we did not expect bookings to be this high,” Kerstin Schulz, InnoTrans Director, said. “Everyone taking part is looking forward all the more to meeting in person. InnoTrans is the world’s largest platform for the mobility sector, with a market coverage that is second to none.”

Over 100 exhibits on the Outdoor Display

This year on the Outdoor Display, exhibitors are showcasing over 100 vehicles, including some world innovations. Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn (DB) are set to present the H2goesRail project and the Mireo Plus H, a new generation of fuel-cell-powered trains. Stadler will be taking part with seven vehicles this year, and Tatravagónka, a goods wagon manufacturer from Slovakia, is planning to make a big appearance at the show with six vehicles supplementing its hall stand. Trade visitors can also look forward to additional presentations from Alstom, Siemens, Vossloh, Plasser & Theurer as well as numerous other exhibitors.

On Tuesday 20 September 2022, the official opening event of InnoTrans will take place at the Palais Berlin. Invitations have been extended to more than 1,000 senior national and international figures representing industry, science and politics. Germany’s Federal Minister for Digital and Transport, Dr. Volker Wissing, will welcome the international visitors to this high-profile event. European Commissioner for Transport, Adina Vălean, has also been invited.

Taking part in the panel discussion, the transport company representatives will be Dr. Richard Lutz, CEO of Deutsche Bahn AG and Michal Krapinec, CEO of the Czech rail company, České dráhy.

InnoTrans Plus: prepare your visit and make use of networking

The new virtual platform InnoTrans Plus is being widely used. With approximately 2,500 registered exhibitors, 2,400 products and 1,500 user profiles, it can be used by all participants to prepare and follow up their visit to the fair. Users can set up their own profile, network, find out about the fair, make appointments in advance and take part in webinars. For example. InnoTrans Convention content can be live-streamed during InnoTrans, as well as the entire supporting programme.
