Cross Industry Area @IZB 2026

New Pathways for Innovation: Cross Industry Area at IZB 2026

The International Suppliers Fair (IZB) is one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for the automotive supplier industry. It brings together international companies, decision-makers and innovation partners from the fields of industry, technology and mobility.

The transformation of the mobility and industrial landscape is creating new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration. Innovation increasingly emerges at the intersection of different industries — and this is exactly where the new Cross Industry Area at IZB comes in.

For the first time, the Cross Industry Area at IZB 2026 will provide a dedicated platform for companies outside the traditional automotive sector whose technologies, products and solutions contribute to the mobility and industry of tomorrow.

The focus areas include:

• Urban Technology
• Security & Defense
• Health & Medical Technology
• Circular Economy

The aim of the Cross Industry Area is to showcase new perspectives, foster innovative partnerships and strengthen collaboration across industries.
