International
Every autumn at Messe Berlin, the Smart Country Convention gathers those who digitise public action. From 13 to 15 October 2026: a stand that places you face-to-face with decision-makers from German cities and administrations.
Smart Country Convention: GovTech and smart city
Online public services, digital identity, urban data, smart mobility, cyber security for local authorities. Exhibitors: software vendors, integrators, GovTech start-ups. Visitors: elected officials, CIOs, urban planners, public buyers. Hosted by Bitkom together with Messe Berlin, in 2025: 500 exhibitors and 23,000 participants. An annual trade show where you meet the entire decision-making chain of a territorial project.
Messe Berlin: at the heart of the political capital
West Berlin, S-Bahn and U-Bahn, BER airport. Just a few stations away from federal ministries. Precise technical regulations, tight assembly slots. Visual challenge: making a dematerialised service concrete in crowded aisles.
