The future of mobility. It is all happening again on 21 September 2010: the leading international trade fair for railway technology reveals the future of mobility. The unique concept of this event is being retained in 2010, with trade fair, convention and outdoor rail displays. Satisfied exhibitors and growing attendance figures offer convincing proof: 85,592 trade visitors at InnoTrans, 33 % more than at the previous event. A record number of exhibitors were represented, too, 1,914 companies from 41 countries. As a multidisciplinary trade fair focusing on rail transport InnoTrans 2010 shows the way for the mobility of the future.

 

Innovations in the open air. The outdoor display area is a feature unique to InnoTrans. 3,500 metres of track provide a direct link with the exhibition halls and the public rail network. All the industry’s innovations will be on display, from construction and dual mode vehicles to freight rolling stock and locomotives, as well as entire local, regional and long-distance transport systems.

 

Dialogue with the future. leading international decision makers from industry, transport and politics will be meeting to engage in a dialogue. With high-level panel discussions the InnoTrans Convention is an ideal opportunity for discussions about topics of current and future relevance to mobility. The Convention is based around the Dialogue Forum, which is being organised by several leading associations: German Transport forum, Association of German Transport undertakings (vdv), union of European railway Industries (uNIfE) and German railway Industry Association (vdb). The European and Asian Rail Summit (EARS) invites transport ministers and the chief executives of European and Asian transport companies to join in the discussions. The International Tunnel Forum, organised by STuvA (research Association for underground Transportation facilities), will also contribute to Tunnel Construction. The Public Transport Forum, organised by the Transport planning office (pbv) and ETC Consultants GmbH, will focus its dialogue on the future challenges facing public transport.
