Hypermotion is an annual trade fair and conference organised by Messe Frankfurt, focused on the future of mobility, logistics, and digital infrastructure. The event brings together technology companies, mobility providers, logistics operators, municipal transport planners, and researchers to explore how digital technologies are transforming the movement of people and goods in urban environments.
The programme covers a wide range of smart mobility topics including autonomous driving, electric vehicle infrastructure, mobility-as-a-service platforms, intelligent traffic management, drone and urban air mobility, digital supply chain management, and the data platforms that integrate different transport modes into seamless multimodal journeys. A dedicated smart city track examines how urban mobility innovation fits within broader smart city strategies, addressing topics such as transport data governance, citizen mobility behaviour, and the integration of transport planning with land use and energy systems.
Hypermotion's exhibition features demonstrations from established automotive and logistics companies alongside a vibrant startup area where emerging mobility technology companies showcase their innovations. Interactive test areas allow visitors to experience autonomous vehicles, e-scooters, cargo bikes, and other innovative transport modes first-hand.
The conference programme includes keynote speeches from international mobility leaders, panel discussions on policy and regulation, and workshops on practical implementation challenges. Frankfurt's position as a major European transport hub — home to one of the continent's busiest airports, a major railway junction, and a dense motorway network — makes it an ideal venue for discussions about the future of mobility.
Hypermotion has become an important annual gathering for the European smart mobility community, facilitating connections between public and private sector actors working to create more efficient, sustainable, and citizen-friendly urban transport systems.
