International. Autopromotec, the automotive equipment and aftermarket trade fair, scheduled for 21 to 24 May 2025 at the Bologna exhibition centre, celebrates an important milestone: 30 biennial editions, 60 years of history.
On the eve of a truly historic edition, the organisers are taking important steps towards achieving comprehensive sustainability. In fact, the path towards the certification of sustainability management systems for events has already begun, the UNI ISO 20121 standard.
Sustainability is one of the common themes that will be articulated and explored during the exhibition. Along with this, space will also be given to connectivity and artificial intelligence. These are the main trends destined to dominate the automotive aftermarket, and which will find a wide representation in the halls of the Bologna Exhibition Centre.
The first step in this direction is a fully digital registration procedure, which allows exhibiting companies to manage their participation directly from their reserved area within the Autopromotec website. Registration has been open since May 20 and the organizers can already confirm the growth trend observed and predicted during the pre-registration phase.
"The new registration procedure allows us to confirm our commitment to the integral sustainability of the process. Today, industry, the economy and the labour market must be rethought from a sustainable perspective. This represents a commitment and a concrete goal for us, of which the digitization of the registration procedure is only a starting point. This not only means less paper waste, but also a more efficient and faster experience for our exhibitors, who can enjoy the show at the click of a button," explained Autopromotec CEO Renzo Servadei.
As a result, more and more space is being given to new technologies, with a greater focus on software and applications of artificial intelligence, sensor technology and mechanical and electronic engineering, along with the product sectors traditionally present at the event: from automotive equipment to tyres, from spare parts to lubricants, as well as service networks and services for automobiles.
