ILA Berlin 2024

ILA Berlin leads in innovation, new technology, and sustainability, bringing the world’s aerospace industry to the center of Europe every two years – next time from June 5 to 9, 2024.

ILA Berlin: Pioneering Aerospace since 1909

Every two years, ILA Berlin brings the global aerospace industry to the heart of Europe – the next edition will take place from 5 to 9 June, 2024. For five days, Europe’s leading aerospace trade fair transforms Berlin into an international aerospace hub. Industry representatives, policymakers, armed forces and academia come together under the motto #PioneeringAerospace to discuss current challenges and opportunities. Exhibitors from all over the world present their latest developments, innovative solutions, and research projects around the three key topics Innovation, New Technologies and Sustainability.

ILA Berlin features the entire value chain and every tier of the aerospace industry, from Aviation, Space and Defence & Support, to Advanced Air Mobility and the Supplier sector. Guiding question is how the transformation of civil aviation to climate neutrality can be achieved. The unique Space Pavilion showcases the vital contribution of space travel for life on Earth – from climate protection and digitalisation to security and mobility. The significance of mission-ready armed forces for the defence of our democratic values and the sovereignty of Europe lies at the heart of the military display. The Advanced Air Mobility exhibition is dedicated to the entire spectrum of unmanned aerial systems and electrically powered vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). In the International Supplier Center ICS, the deep-rooted supply chain meets buyers from OEMs and tier-1 suppliers. Central topics range from climate-neutral flying and digitalisation to the stability of the supply chain.

The European Commission was a strategic partner of ILA for the edition in 2022, with the mission to strengthen Europe’s technology leadership and pave the way for a sustainable future of aerospace under the motto “Airborne in Europe”.

In 2022, ILA Berlin welcomed around 72,500 visitors, 550 exhibitors from 80 countries, and 800 journalists, who reported on site. The programme of the novel five ILA STAGES featured 360 speakers in expert talks, panel discussions, debates, and science slams on the future trends in aerospace. With the CareerHub, ILA brought together students, young professionals, and experienced professionals, thereby providing meaningful networking and career progression opportunities, and helping aspiring pioneers prepare for a career in the exciting world of aviation and aerospace.

Thanks to the newly created platform, ILA DIGITAL, aerospace pioneers also had the opportunity to follow a large part of the daily onsite programme virtually. This novel virtual space features product presentations, matchmaking, lead generation, and personal meetings in online cafés and dedicated digital exhibitor spaces, allowing for a maximum of outreach and interaction.

ILA Berlin is organized and hosted by the BDLI (the German Trade Association of Aerospace Industries) and Messe Berlin. The next edition will be held from 5 to 9 June 2024, as always in Berlin.
