With the claim "It's All About Mobility," the organizers of IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich aim to kick off and underscore their position as a global platform for mobility, sustainability, and technological innovation. From September 9 to 14, the transition from a classic automobile exhibition to a comprehensive mobility platform is set to be reflected in the broad diversity of themes—from innovative vehicle technologies and infrastructure solutions to software developments and new mobility trends. The goal is to lead in shaping the future of mobility, according to the organizers. This reflects the strategic shift from the "International Motor Show" to a holistic mobility platform.
"Following the outstanding success of 2023, we continue our journey as the leading global platform for mobility, sustainability, and tech. Under the motto 'It's All About Mobility,' Munich will once again become the worldwide showcase of innovations around mobility in September 2025. We warmly invite everyone to be part of this groundbreaking event and help us shape the future of mobility," says Hildegard Müller, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). "Our thanks go to the state of Bavaria and the city of Munich for their ongoing support and hospitality, which enable us to host this significant event here," Hildegard Müller further adds, also thanking Messe München for their good collaboration and partnership.
"Bavaria is a car land and a high-tech location. The IAA Mobility has established itself in Munich as an international hotspot for future technologies around mobility and sustainability. We need to think of mobility creatively, with an openness to technology and without bans. The automotive industry is a key industry for the Free State of Bavaria, which is why we support the IAA to the fullest. The 2025 exhibition in Munich emphasizes the international significance of Bavaria as an automotive location and an innovation driver in Germany. The IAA Mobility and Bavaria are a perfect match," states Bavarian Minister President, Dr. Markus Söder.
"The LMU and TU in Munich belong to the top universities of the Federal Republic and produce a lot of tech talent. Therefore, I am very pleased that IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich will once again showcase groundbreaking innovations to a global audience. The IAA Mobility enables a cross-sector and cross-industry exchange of knowledge and experiences, thus contributing to the design of future mobility," says Dieter Reiter, Mayor of Munich.
"The third IAA Mobility in Munich once again emphasizes Bavaria's role as an important player in the fields of electromobility, autonomous driving, and alternative drive technologies. Bavaria can rightfully claim that innovation and technology go hand in hand here. We are shaping the future of mobility in all its aspects, as we offer investment programs, funding, and extensive support for companies and start-ups in the field of sustainable mobility. And we network these with each other, as well as with research institutions, policymakers, and other actors in the mobility industry," says Hubert Aiwanger, Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs.
Two Venues: Trade Fair and City
The trade fair has proven itself as a new and unique format in 2021 and 2023 with its two venues at the Munich trade fair grounds and in the city center. The repeated success in front of an international professional audience emphasizes Munich's importance as the leading location in terms of mobility," say the two trade fair directors Stefan Rummel and Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer: "We are proud to be hosts of this exciting event where one can experience and shape the future of mobility. Messe München, the Bavarian capital, and the Free State of Bavaria are experienced team players in successfully implementing such dynamic and international major events. Therefore, we look forward to IAA 2025!”
