History

InnoTrans has grown steadily in area and exhibitor numbers since it moved to Berlin in 1996.[2] For the 2010 fair, organiser Messe Berlin Ltd announced an increase to 2,000 exhibitors from 44 countries, which covered the whole area of the exhibition centre for the first time.[4]

A spin-off supplementary exhibition "Public Transport Interiors" aimed at the mass transit sector was planned, but the first event announced for 2011 was postponed until a later time. InnoTrans 2012 was instead the first to include a separate "Public Transport and Interiors Hall Forum", with a series of multimedia presentations on new design options in the industry.[5][6]

gollark: If I become evil supreme world dictator I would totally do that, except everyone has phones with tons of proprietary firmware and weirdness anyway.
gollark: It would be funny, though, to make ominous spying devices look like greeting card controllers so people doubt anyone who notices them.
gollark: Technically, speakers work as microphones.
