Why exhibit at ETI 2027?
ETI partners present their technology live to a focused audience from OEMs, suppliers, research and tech companies – and host their own customers on site.
- Host your own customer event. Invite your customers and give them exclusive insights in a dedicated meeting or demo space. Our marketing team provides invitation templates and materials.
- Demonstrate in live action. Show your technology on the dynamic demo area, the proving ground and in the driving simulator. The workshop serves as an all-weather backup.
- Meet the vehicle development ecosystem. Decision-makers, engineers and researchers attend. 2026 keynotes came from Toyota, Mercedes-AMG, Hyundai, AUMOVIO and AB Dynamics.
- Take home ready-to-use content. Our media service produces photos and videos of your presence for social media and sales (see example below).
