A city on the move - polisMOBILITY on site

polisMOBILITY is the platform for dialogue about the mobility transition

polisMOBILITY is the international event that takes a whole-system approach to the future of mobility and urban life. Innovative, lively and inspiring, it will be held at Cologne’s trade fair grounds from 24 to 26 May 2023. The trade fair has been conceived as a platform for dialogue between all players in the field of urban mobility.

polisMOBILITY’s unusual event concept breaks new ground by shifting the priority from showcasing products to exchanging ideas about sustainable mobility solutions.

The polisMOBILITY conference plays a key role in this regard. The interdisciplinary conference pays particular attention to strategies and solutions for future mobility ecosystems. Its strategic focus is to facilitate dialogue between businesses and municipalities (B2G) as well as between companies themselves (B2B).

Just like Koelnmesse, our partners from the public and private sectors are committed to a mobility transition characterised by innovation and solutions that span multiple industries. The annual general meeting of the Association of German Cities will be held at Koelnmesse’s Congress Centre East at the same time as polisMOBILITY.

City Event
On 27 and 28 May 2023, immediately after the trade fair event, polisMOBILITY will transform into a city event and move to the centre of Cologne. The aim of this format is to engage members of the public and civil society in a conversation about sustainable mobility concepts.

Regarding current developments in Ukraine

At Koelnmesse we are closely following current developments in Ukraine, as the people of all nations around the world. The Russian attack stands in absolute opposition to our own values. As a trade fair organiser, we stand wholeheartedly for peaceful coexistence and free trade around the world.

The war has caused tremendous uncertainty and commotion regarding unrestricted service provision, monetary transactions and passenger transport between Russia, Belarus and Europe or Germany in particular. We are therefore initially suspending the participation of Russian and Belarusian exhibitors on our physical and digital platforms until until further notice. However, we remain in contact with our partners in Russia, some of whom have been with us for many years and who unfortunately cannot attend our trade fairs now in Cologne. We are certain they have also been surprised by the decision to engage in war.

At Koelnmesse, we are particularly happy that everyone in our sales team in Kiev is doing well under the circumstances.

polisMOBILITY themes

Sustainability, urbanisation, digitalisation, traffic change, environmental and climate protection - the most pressing questions for the future are also questions for mobility. That is why the diverse topics that move us and the people in the cities can be found here, consistently brought together and well thought out.
