What the fair covers
Vehicles, components and automotive technology make up the exhibition. The international trade fair for motorcycles and scooters showcasing two-wheel innovations and urban mobility solutions. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.
Dates, venue and getting there
The fair runs from 19 February to 21 February 2027 at Koelnmesse in Cologne. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Cologne is one of Europe's major exhibition cities, and its grounds sit close to the centre with direct rail access. Hotel capacity fills quickly during the largest fairs, and buyers often stay in nearby cities and commute in by train.
Planning your visit
Attending in person allows direct comparison of build quality and finish across manufacturers. Technical staff are usually available to discuss homologation, parts supply and adaptation for different markets. For INTERMOT Cologne, that means preparing ahead of the February dates and arriving with a target list of stands.
Language and interpreting support
Exhibitors at major European fairs generally handle English well, particularly at international events. Language support becomes more relevant with smaller regional manufacturers, where technical staff may be more comfortable in the local language than the sales team suggests. An interpreter already working in Cologne saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.
After the fair
After the fair, verification focuses on standards and parts. Check homologation and certification against your market, confirm spare part availability and lead times, and arrange a production inspection before a first shipment.
