InnoTrans 2006 – The International Trade Fair on Transport Technology

Brief description of the InnoTrans 2006 Edition:

With a large number of reference projects and over 220 transport technology firms, Berlin is the main focus of Germany’s transport engineering industry and an ideal venue for InnoTrans, an international platform for buyers and sellers of passenger and freight transport technology.

InnoTrans has become established as an international industry showplace focusing on railway technology. A full range of rail vehicles are presented in static displays on the Messe Berlin tracks located outside the exhibition halls.

Other key InnoTrans features include Railway Infrastructure, Interiors, Public Transport, Transport IT, and Services and new in 2006 “Tunnel Construction”.

The InnoTrans Convention taking place in conjunction with the trade show includes a special Dialogue Forum sponsored by the Deutsches Verkehrsforum (German Transport Forum), Verband Deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen (VDV, Association of German Transport Companies), the Verband der europäischen Schienenverkehrsindustrie (UNIFE, European Rail Transport Industry Association), and the Verbande der Bahnindustrie in Deutschland (VDB, German Rail Industry Association).

Initiated and organized by the Deutsche Bahn AG, the European and Asian Rail Summit (EARS) offers excellent dialogue opportunities for transport ministries and general managers of central European and Asian rail transport companies.

Accompanying the new Tunnel Construction segment, the Studiengesellschaft für unterirdische Verkehrsanlagen e.V. (STUVA, Incorporated Association for Underground Transport Systems) will lead a round-table discussion titled “International Tunnel Forum” on the 20th of September 2006 at the InnoTrans Convention.
