The 30th edition of Autopromotec, the biennial international exhibition dedicated to the automotive aftermarket and garage equipment, closed with remarkable results and a vision that is increasingly global and sustainable.

A Growing International Event

With over 97,000 attendees from around 130 countries, Autopromotec has confirmed its status as a global reference point for the sector. Foreign professionals made up 17% of the total visitors, underlining the international appeal of the event. The daily average reached more than 24,000 attendees, surpassing the previous record set in 2019.

A Hub for Innovation and Business

Nearly 1,700 companies—about half of them from abroad—took part in four dynamic days of business networking, including over 850 B2B meetings organized in cooperation with ICE and MAECI. Many exhibitors have already confirmed their participation for the 2027 edition, a clear sign of Autopromotec’s value as a business platform.

A First Step Toward a Sustainable Trade Show

One of the highlights was the achievement of the ISO 20121 certification, which recognizes sustainable event management. This milestone reflects the organizers’ commitment to environmental, social, and economic responsibility, including waste management, energy efficiency, ethical supplier selection, and social inclusion.

Key Themes: Innovation, Data, and Ecological Transition

The extensive conference program focused on:

  • Technology and data access

  • Digitalization and new skills

  • Green transition

  • Promotion of Made in Italy excellence

Autopromotec once again proved to be more than just an exhibition—it is a strategic driver for the automotive aftermarket, serving as a think tank where professionals can explore emerging trends and prepare for future challenges.
