Smart Technologies for better Cities

Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, megacities or conurbations. Increasing urbanisation is dramatically fuelling the global challenges of climate change, resource scarcity and population growth.
Thereby, ecological and economic risks for the cities arise, initialising at the same time development potential for international industry.

With UrbanTec Koelnmesse creates an export-oriented market place of international industry. UrbanTec will show technologies and developments which enable a sustainable improvement of life in existing, growing and newly to be constructed conurbations and megacities. The exhibition bundles system solutions, components, installations and services for the coverage of urban requirements among a variety of industries. Thereby the potential is tremendous: the OECD predicts that globally 30 trillion euros are at disposal and need to be invested in urban infrastructures.

Innovative trade fair concept
The three-pillar-concept of UrbanTec is very innovative. Besides the exhibition Koelnmesse offers an accompanying, internationally oriented congress and a demonstration field with visiting opportunities to outstanding application examples.

Visitors of UrbanTec are international delegations as well as planners and decision-makers from public administration, politics and economy. Due to the comprehensive presentation of cross-linked and cross-industry system solutions for megacities’ requirements UrbanTec attains unique characteristics over special and common industrial fairs.

Group participations at UrbanTec offer you an exactly and fast overview of the structures and focus of particular countries and regions.
