Many of you would have started seeing posts about the upcoming InnoTrans in Berlin from Tue, 24 Sept 2024 – Fri, 27 Sept 2024 and rightly so since it is the biggest rail exhibition event in the world but what about the history of this event? Let’s do a quick recap! Origins (1996) InnoTrans was first held in 1996. It was launched as a specialised trade fair to bring together professionals from the transport technology sector. The primary focus was on rail transport, though it also covered other transportation technologies. The event was designed to showcase the latest innovations in transport technology, from rail vehicle manufacturing to signalling systems. Growth and Expansion (2000s) Throughout the 2000s, InnoTrans grew in size and scope. The event gained international recognition and started attracting participants from all over the world. New sectors like tunnel construction, passenger services, and public transportation were incorporated into the event. By this time, InnoTrans became a significant platform for industry experts, policymakers, and investors to exchange ideas and foster business partnerships. The turning point (2010) For the 2010 fair, organiser Messe Berlin Ltd announced an increase to 2,000 exhibitors from 44 countries, which covered the whole area of the exhibition centre for the first time. From there onwards, exhibitors showcased cutting-edge technologies like high-speed trains, autonomous systems, and energy-efficient rail solutions. The event began to serve as a global hub for transportation innovations, with delegations from various countries attending to discuss future trends in mobility. Modern Era (2020s) The COVID-19 pandemic affected the global events industry, and InnoTrans was no exception. The 2020 edition was postponed to 2022, where it returned with a focus on topics such as digitalisation, environmental sustainability, and the future of mobility. The event remains to date the largest and most influential railway trade fair in the world, shaping the future of transport technologies.

INNOTRANS: The global rail market is worth approximately €180bn per annum. But surely the only place to see the industry come together in one place is at InnoTrans, the world’s largest transport technology trade fair. And by any measure, InnoTrans is vast. As at the last edition in 2022, organiser Messe Berlin expects the venue to be fully booked by the time the gates open on September 24. That means no less than 200 000 m2 of exhibition area will be available for visitors to explore — not merely the 42 halls, many of which are multi-storey, but also the famed outdoor tracks, where a parade of new rolling stock will be on display. It is ‘a show that always moves with the times’, with this year’s focus being on electrification, digitalisation and sustainability. It is hosting a display dedicated to AI for the first time. No other mobility trade show gathers so many decision-makers, movers and visionaries, where they can exchange ideas, negotiate business and finalise investments.

Your success is our ambition.

"Hamburg shows: ridepooling can enhance the overall public transport system by adding a component that makes it more attractive.” MOIA Director of Business Development Rainer Becker discussed with Martin Bill, Staatsrat BVM Hamburg, Raimund Brodehl, Managing Director hvv, and Cornelius Kiermasch, Head of Shared Mobility at Deutsche Bahn Connect, on the topic of ‘Best practices from Hamburg: Integrated everyday mobility – the plans of the city of Hamburg' at the international trade fair for transport technology InnoTrans.   Here are three takeaways: ➡️ Ridepooling can be an addition to the public transit network that encourages more people to join the overall system as it adds a component of comfort, convenience, and safety. ➡️ The public transport system can only be successful in jointly addressing mobility needs. ➡️ Digitization of the overall system is needed to make it easy to use and will be the key for more people to use public transport in their daily life.  #InnoTrans2024

🚆 InnoTrans: Connecting the world since 1996 🌍 The year was 1996, the world was changing rapidly. 🚀 In the midst of this technological revolution, a group of visionaries in Berlin asked themselves, "What would happen if we brought together the best talents in transportation in one place?" 🤔💡 Thus was born InnoTrans, a modest trade fair that in its first edition seemed more like a gathering of enthusiasts than the giant it is today. 🌱 But those pioneers knew they were sowing the seeds of something great. Year after year, InnoTrans grew. 📈 Today, 28 years later, InnoTrans is the undisputed meeting place for the global transport industry. 🏆 Every two years, Berlin becomes the epicenter of innovation, where the future of mobility is designed, discussed and celebrated. 🎉🔧 #NeoExpo #Stand #WeBoothYourBrand #InnoTrans2024 #InnovationInTransport #InternationalFair #Berlin #FutureOfMobility #SustainableTransport #NetworkingEvent #TransportTechnology #MobilityInnovation #GreenTransport #Fair #SAR

Let’s move into a smarter future of mobility.

American Airlines launched nonstop service between Aeropuertos GAP’s Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) and their Phoenix (PHX) hub last month – an exciting development to further the trade and tourism connections between both cities. Voice of San Diego’s Sandra Dibble delves into the trade sector of the TIJ-PHX relationship, shedding light on the cross-border “macroregion” fueled by the growing global demand for semiconductor chips, referred to as “the lifeblood of the digital economy.” Tijuana’s singular expertise in the semiconductor industry, and its location on the U.S.-Mexico border, position the region for incredible growth as the U.S. continues to expand its domestic industry and build reliable supply chains. https://brnw.ch/21wI8Mm
