Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the micromobility expo is not physically taking place in Hannover this summer. Instead, this trade show for micromobility, mobility infrastructure and services will be staged on 27 and 28 August as an online event. Deutsche Messe is thus launching a new, digital networking hub for the micromobility industry, offering an alternative to anyone who is not in a position to be an exhibitor or visitor at the micromobility expo this year. The micromobility expo brings together manufacturers and users to promote micromobility in society in general, while providing new ideas and stimuli for the needed changes in urban transportation policy. The event had already been postponed from May to August on account of the pandemic.

“We are currently working flat out to convert the micromobility expo into a digital format,” said Simona Erdmann, developer and project director of the micromobility expo at Hannover-based Deutsche Messe. “The combination of a two-day conference, a digital exhibition and networking opportunities are intended to serve the industry as a platform for information sharing, networking and business initiatives, especially in these times of crisis,” he added further.
