Discover what to expect from IAA Mobility 2027, including AI, software-defined vehicles, connected mobility, electrification and new mobility experiences in Munich.
The automotive industry is moving beyond traditional vehicles, with artificial intelligence, software, electrification and connected mobility becoming central to the future of transport. IAA Mobility 2027 will reflect this shift when it returns to Munich from 7–12 September 2027, with Press Day on 6 September.
The event will once again combine the IAA Summit at Messe München with the IAA Open Space in downtown Munich, bringing manufacturers, technology companies, suppliers, policymakers and mobility innovators together. (IAA Mobility)
IAA Mobility 2027 covers a wide range of automotive and mobility sectors, including:
The previous edition in 2025 attracted more than 500,000 visitors and around 750 exhibitors from 37 countries, with more than 350 world premieres and new products.
IAA Mobility 2027 is building on this international platform while placing greater emphasis on emerging mobility technologies.
The 2027 programme is expected to give greater attention to artificial intelligence, software-defined vehicles, autonomous driving, connected vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems. These technologies are increasingly changing how vehicles are designed, updated and operated.
The event will continue expanding hands-on experiences through vehicle testing, ADAS demonstrations, telematics, cycling and micromobility activities. This gives visitors an opportunity to experience new mobility technologies rather than simply viewing them on exhibition stands.
IAA Mobility is no longer limited to conventional automotive manufacturing. The event increasingly connects automotive OEMs, software companies, battery developers, charging providers, mobility startups and smart-city stakeholders, reflecting the industry's transition toward connected and sustainable transport.
Indian automotive professionals, exhibitors and business delegates should arrange the appropriate Schengen short-stay visa well in advance. Depending on individual circumstances, applicants may need event registration or an invitation, accommodation proof, travel itinerary, financial documents, travel insurance and employment or business documentation.
The German Missions in India offer a “trade fair urgent” appointment category for exhibitors who need to travel at short notice. It is an appointment category, not a separate visa, and does not guarantee faster processing. Ordinary visitors should apply under the category appropriate to their actual travel purpose.
Applicants should check the latest requirements before applying because visa procedures and appointment availability can change.
You can also check your Germany visa application status online through the official portal.
