Tips on how to get there: How to get to the trade fair in a relaxed manner

The best way to get to automatica Munich is by public transport: The subway line U2 takes you every minute to the Messestadt Ost stop, directly at the exhibition grounds. Please note that the trade fair ticket is not valid as a ticket for MVV - so buy a separate ticket in advance.

Travelers from Munich Airport can reach the exhibition grounds via the S-Bahn with a change at the main station to the U2. Alternatives such as e-scooters or rental bikes complete the urban mobility mix in Munich. If you are still traveling by car, you should use P+R and continue your journey by subway.

Sustainable mobility tips:

• Use public transport apps for real-time data
• Reserve car-sharing vehicles in good time
• Give preference to hotels near public transport stops
• Form car pools via specialized platforms

Insider tips for a successful day at the trade fair

Arrive early to make effective use of the quieter morning hours. Visit your most important exhibitors first and use the automatica app for orientation and appointment management. Plan enough time for networking and breaks - both are crucial for the success of the trade fair. Wi-Fi and refreshments are available in the lounges and cafés on site. Make a note of new ideas directly in your notebook or digitally, and explore the smaller halls too - exciting innovations are often hidden here. Look out for spontaneous live demonstrations, which are often announced at short notice - they offer a practical insight into the latest technologies. Start-ups also present fresh ideas that can provide impetus for cooperation. If you are looking for new business partners, you should also keep your eyes open away from the big stages.
