New for 2025: iVT Live Zone!

We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand-new feature for iVT Expo 2025 in Cologne: the iVT Live Zone, the interactive content stage located right on the expo floor. Designed as a vibrant, pop-up-style zone, iVT Live is where industry pioneers, thought leaders, and enthusiasts come together to debate, discuss, and shape the future of smarter off-highway vehicles.

This hub of dynamic conversations and groundbreaking ideas will focus on debatable topics and forward-thinking discussions. This allows attendees of the expo to delve deeper into the realms of autonomy, alternate fuels, and digitization within the off-highway vehicle industry.
