IAA Mobility Auto Show to Remain in Munich Until 2031

The IAA Mobility auto show, currently ongoing in Munich, has secured its presence in the city for the next six years. The decision was announced during the opening ceremony of this year's event by Hildegard Müller, President of the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA).

The VDA, which organises the show, made the decision to extend the contract between VDA and Messe München, the organisers of the event, just before the opening ceremony. The extended contract is set to be signed today, Tuesday.

Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) and Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder (CSU) both confirmed the extension, with Reiter stating that the car show is good news for Munich. Söder described the decision as a "very wise decision."

The IAA Mobility auto show has been held in Munich every two years since it was moved there in 2021. Prior to that, the show was held in Frankfurt. Messe München has been organising the event since it was moved to Munich.

The next edition of the IAA Mobility auto show, which is scheduled for two years from now, will also take place in Munich. The show will remain in the city until at least 2031, according to Mayor Reiter's statement.

The composition of the VDA board that decided on the six-year extension of the IAA Mobility contract is not explicitly detailed in the available information.

The continued presence of the IAA Mobility auto show in Munich is a significant boost for the city, providing a platform for the automotive industry to showcase its latest innovations and technologies. The show is expected to attract visitors from around the world, further boosting Munich's reputation as a global hub for the automotive industry.
