As InnoTrans 2014 drew to a close on Friday, Sept. 26, 2014, show sponsors claimed the event was "the best InnoTrans to date" and hailed the Berlin-based event as a "major success."
"Once again, InnoTrans was able to build on its undisputed standing as the leading innovation platform and the world's largest marketplace for rail technology", said Dr. Christian Göke, CEO of Messe Berlin GmbH. "With a 10% increase in exhibitor and visitor numbers this event continues to grow consistently in every important area."
The event included 140 world premieres, and 145 vehicles on outdoor display, as "2,758 exhibitors from 55 countries presented their innovative products and services in Berlin, with around 139,000 international trade visitors from over 100 countries attending this year's leading trade fair for transport technology," InnoTrans sponsors said. The attendance figure comfortably exceeded estimates made prior to the show.
InnoTrans "Open Days" remain open to visitors during the weekend, allowing those outside the rail industry to view or inspect "the latest rail vehicles, with displays ranging from innovative high speed trains to very powerful locomotives," show sponsors noted.
