Kick-off for bauma 2025

bauma 2025 is already taking shape: Such exhibitors as Liebherr, Peri and Wirtgen began to set up their booths in October, around six months before the start of the event. The world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment will be held in Munich from April 7 to 13, 2025.

New and returning exhibitors

In 2025, numerous well-known companies will once again use bauma as a showcase for themselves and their products. The returning companies include Volvo, Deutz, Liugong, CNH, Skyjack and JLG. Joining their ranks for the first time are such companies as Fortescue, DSI/Sandvik, HG—100% electric dumpers, EXiron AG, Gravis Robotics AG, Metso Oyj, rockrobot oy, Wabtec Corporation and WEICO GmbH. Around 150 new exhibitors will be at bauma 2025 as well. Nicole Schmitt, Exhibition Director of bauma, says: “We are very pleased with the overall positive feedback from the industry. We are now awaiting the registrations of the joint stand exhibitors until December. But I can already say that we are on the right track on the exhibitor side.”

Key topics of bauma 2025

“Digitization” and “sustainability” will remain the buzzwords of the industry next year. As a result, they are also reflected in the five key topics that bauma will address: climate neutrality, alternative drive concepts, networked construction, sustainable construction and mining challenge. From Monday to Friday, the bauma FORUM will focus on one of these key topics. The program will consist of brief presentations, panel discussions and key notes. Exhibitors will also present products and innovations from these areas.

New structure for the area of occupational health and safety in Hall B4

As part of changes for 2025, the area devoted to occupational health and safety will be centrally consolidated in Hall B4. This strategic placement offers visitors a comprehensive overview of developments and technological advances that will improve safety on construction sites.

Science hub: focus on research

Eleven research institutions will present innovative projects at the bauma Science Hub. Among other things, the Technical University of Munich will present autonomous solutions for bulk goods transportation and a paving robot. The University of Duisburg-Essen will demonstrate a cable robot for precise use on construction sites, and the Technical University of Dresden will present ways to avoid accidents by using a mobile excavator that can recognize human beings. Many other exciting projects await visitors directly at the exhibitors’ booths.

Start-ups with innovations on all key topics

bauma 2025 will also offer young, innovative companies the opportunity to present their ideas. Almost 50 start-ups have registered to showcase their innovations and developments related to the main topics of bauma, including mobile robot technologies, the development of digital twins of construction sites, alternative drive systems, ultrasonic technology in concrete production, autonomous crane solutions for digital construction sites in rough terrain as well as end-to-end and other software solutions that help companies in the office and on the construction site.

Back at bauma: the VR experience

Another special attraction will be the VR Experience Zone 2025, a partnership between the Construction Future Lab (CFLab) and Messe München. The interactive exhibition will combine a museum-like character with innovative technology and shed light on key future topics in the construction industry. Interested visitors can experience demonstrations on such topics as construction robotics, alternative drive technologies, additive processes and the digitalization of machines and interfaces. The offer is supplemented by expert interviews and multimedia content. This experience will provide visitors with comprehensive and practical insights into innovations in the industry and bring future-relevant developments to life.

International delegations express great interest

bauma is once again generating increased interest among international companies. Delegations from Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru—traditionally strong in the mining sector—have already expressed their interest.
