IAA MOBILITY 2023 becomes more international, record number of companies participating – “We will interlink the mobility landscape in Munich”

The most important industry meeting for stakeholders, decision makers, and visionaries in the mobility sector – The mobility platform will be more international than ever – Record number of new companies participating – Experience mobility in downtown Munich – Test drives for anyone interested – Over 500 international visionaries discuss the future of mobility

IAA MOBILITY 2023 in Munich will set the bar from September 5 to 10. It is the world’s leading platform for mobility, sustainability, and technology, and this will be its second time in Munich. The interest and RSVPs from the biggest and most important companies in the automotive, technology, cycling, and micromobility sectors illustrate the international relevance of this unique mobility platform.

“IAA MOBILITY is where the entire mobility world comes together in Munich. The focus will be on one particular issue that affects us all: Mobility shapes how we live, work, and experience our world. With our slogan, ‘Experience Connected Mobility’, we will show what the mobility of the future will look like. This is a herculean task, and the key to doing so lies in the combination of sustainability and digitalization. Moreover, IAA MOBILITY doesn’t only address one means of transport, and instead seeks to interlink the mobility landscape and present solutions that prioritize people,” said VDA President Hildegard Müller at today’s IAA MOBILITY press conference.

“In Munich, IAA MOBILITY will open up to discussion and exchange of ideas with the society at the trade fair grounds and at many of the public places. Many forms of mobility will be shown: Be it on the street or on a bicycle test track in English Garden. We are working closely with our partner VDA in this process to ensure that every visit to IAA MOBILITY in Munich guarantees exciting experiences and induces people to think.”, said the two directors of Messe München, Stefan Rummel and Dr Reinhard Pfeiffer.

IAA MOBILITY is the world’s most progressive platform for sustainability through electrification and digitalization. It seeks to shed light on the full variety of the mobility world, and invite all stakeholders to engage in dialogue. “The car will be a key component in the future of mobility, but at the same time it will be just one of many dimensions. IAA MOBILITY has changed the nature of mobility conventions. The combination of the IAA SUMMIT on the convention center grounds and the IAA Open Space in downtown Munich provides insight into the future of mobility platforms,” says Hildegard Müller.

IAA MOBILITY 2023 will be more international

Compared to IAA MOBILITY 2021, there will be far more international presenters this year. The number of presenters from abroad has increased by 17%, from 33% in 2021 to 50% this year. Leading German companies will be joined by many renowned companies from across the globe, including BYD, Google, LG, and Samsung. At the same time, the number of companies making their debut at IAA MOBILITY has never been higher. China, the USA, Austria, South Korea, and France will be the most heavily represented countries aside from Germany.

The number of countries present has also increased, with Singapore, Kosovo, Thailand, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia making their first appearances. The ‘Ukrainian Automotive Cluster’, funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the VDA, will have a stand at the IAA Summit as well.

Asia will also have a greater presence, with 41% of presenters coming from this continent. The number of Chinese companies coming to IAA MOBILITY 2023 has more than doubled. Furthermore, this year’s World New Energy Vehicle Congress (WNEVC) will be held at IAA MOBILITY on September 6, thus leaving China for the very first time.
