Interlift Nuremberg – The world's leading trade fair for the elevator industry

Technological advances for vertical mobility

Interlift in Nuremberg is the leading international trade fair for elevator technology and one of the most important industry events worldwide. Every two years, manufacturers, developers, engineers, architects, operators, planners, and specialist dealers from over 50 countries meet here to exchange information on the latest developments, innovations, and market trends in vertical mobility. Interlift is not just a showcase for products – it is a global center for technology, networking, and future issues in urban mobility. More than 500 exhibitors from all continents present the entire spectrum of the industry in Nuremberg – from drive systems and control technology to safety devices, design solutions, and smart building integration.

The complete spectrum of elevator technology

Interlift covers all relevant areas of the industry – from individual components to complete system solutions:

• Drive technology (electric, hydraulic, hybrid)
• Elevator cabins, doors, counterweights
• Control and guidance systems
• Safety and emergency call systems
• Shaft and support structures
• Retrofit and modernization solutions
• Components for home lifts and platform lifts
• Escalators, moving walkways, automated systems
• Digitalization, sensor technology, IoT applications
• Service, maintenance, monitoring & predictive maintenance
• Software solutions, BIM integration, and smart building concepts

Key topics: Digitalization, safety, sustainability

The future of the elevator industry is digital: At Interlift, manufacturers and suppliers will demonstrate how elevator systems are becoming increasingly networked, automated, and smart. Cloud-based monitoring systems enable predictive maintenance, real-time diagnostics, and user tracking for barrier-free building control. Another major topic is safety technology: intelligent emergency call systems, door monitoring, emergency power solutions, and new standards in fire protection are demonstrated in realistic application examples. Sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role—with particularly energy-efficient drive technologies, recyclable materials, durable construction, and CO₂-reduced production processes.

Interlift Forum: Knowledge transfer at the highest level

The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive international lecture program – the Interlift Forum. Here, industry experts report on:

• Current standards and regulations (e.g., EN 81-20/50)
• Best practice examples from new construction and modernization
• International market developments and export strategies
• Digitalization and cybersecurity in elevator technology
• Accessibility and urban construction

Networking platform with global reach

Interlift is an important meeting place for decision-makers, suppliers, investors, and innovators in the industry. Smaller and specialized manufacturers in particular find visibility on the international stage here. New business contacts, distribution partnerships, and development collaborations often arise directly at the trade fair.

Accessibility, urban mobility, and demographic change

With demographic change, increasing urbanization, and political pressure for accessibility, the importance of elevator technology is becoming increasingly important worldwide. Whether retrofitting existing housing stock, integrating into smart neighborhood concepts, or making public buildings accessible, Interlift showcases concrete solutions for the major challenges facing the cities of tomorrow.

Interlift—the future is going up

The trade fair is much more than an industry gathering. It is an innovation platform, a technology driver, and an international marketplace all at once. Anyone interested in the technical, architectural, and social development of vertical mobility cannot afford to miss Interlift.
