The Automotive Technology Fair 2026 kicks off tomorrow!

As early as tomorrow, April 23, the Automotive Technology Fair will kick off at the grounds of Poznań International Fair – the largest and most important automotive industry event in Central and Eastern Europe. For four days, until April 26, Poznań will become a meeting hub for professionals from across the automotive sector.

Nearly 300 exhibitors, hundreds of innovations

This year’s edition is set to be record-breaking. Nearly 300 exhibitors from Poland and abroad will present their offerings, covering key market segments: workshop equipment, diagnostics and tools, digital technologies, ADAS systems, and electromobility solutions. Visitors can expect hundreds of technological innovations and product premieres.

The fair is dedicated to workshop owners and employees, representatives of vehicle inspection stations and car washes, appraisers and diagnosticians, staff of spare parts stores and wholesalers, as well as car dealerships and rental companies.

Automotive Forum – three debates on the future of the industry

On the first day of the fair, April 23, from 12:00 to 15:45, the Automotive Forum will take place – a key substantive component of TTM 2026. The program includes three panel discussions featuring experts, industry practitioners, and institutional representatives.

• Panel I (12:00–13:15): Access to repairs – will new cars be serviced only at authorized dealerships?
  Modern vehicles are increasingly defined by software rather than mechanics. Online diagnostics, remote updates, and access to manufacturer data now determine who can service a vehicle. The panel will address independent workshops’ real access to repairs, the balance between safety and manufacturers’ interests, and the implications for customers and the service market.
• Panel II (13:15–14:30): Electromobility and China – what does it mean for services and the Polish market?
  Electric vehicles and the growing presence of Chinese brands are reshaping the industry. The discussion will focus on access to parts, technical documentation, distribution models, and the readiness of the Polish market for new players, as well as opportunities and threats for independent workshops and the aftermarket sector.
• Panel III (14:30–15:45): Vehicle inspections – is it time to change the current model?
  The scope and format of vehicle inspections have long been debated. Modern driver-assistance systems, electronics, and software pose new challenges for inspection stations. The panel will examine the effectiveness of the current system, the responsibility of diagnosticians, and the real impact on road safety.

15th National Mechanics Championship and Automotive Knowledge Olympiad

TTM 2026 is not only about exhibitions and debates. A key part of this year’s edition is the jubilee 15th National Mechanics Championship – a practical test of skills in working with modern vehicles, including electric and hybrid models. It will be complemented by the National Automotive Knowledge Olympiad for technical and vocational school students, with tasks based on real market challenges and developed in cooperation with industry partners.

TTM and Poznań Motor Show – one ticket, two events

The TTM fair takes place alongside the Poznań Motor Show – the largest automotive event in Central and Eastern Europe. Importantly, a TTM ticket also grants access to the Poznań Motor Show, offering a double dose of automotive experiences in one place and time.

How to get there and where to buy tickets?

The TTM fair is located in pavilions 7, 7A, 8, and 8A. Visitors can choose from three entrances: the west entrance on Śniadeckich Street (closest to the TTM pavilions), the east entrance on Głogowska Street, and the north entrance on Bukowska Street.
