This was decided by Berlin exhibition centre in consultation with international market leaders and leading associations. The thirteenth edition of the world’s leading trade fair for transport technology will take place in Berlin from 20th to 23rd September 2022.

“Postponing InnoTrans to 2022 was a very difficult decision,” says Dr Christian Göke, CEO of Berlin exhibition centre. “Ultimately the crucial factors were the lack of planning certainty and the forecast for the development of the pandemic over the coming months. In view of the pandemic situation, there is simply nobody who can say for certain whether the framework conditions, for example such as the use of our track display area, will allow an international flagship event such as InnoTrans to take place in April 2021.” The presentation of new trains on the around 3000 metres of track is a unique selling point of InnoTrans and crucial for the quality of the event.
