Pollutec, the international leading show for environmental professionals, a shop window for environmental solutions for businesses, cities and regions, and a launchpad for market innovations and international development, will be held in Lyon, France, from 12-15th of October.
For more than 40 years, Pollutec has been a great source of inspiration for professionals in search of practical solutions and innovation and new connections with key players in the industry.
During 4 days, Pollutec covers a wide range of sectors such as waste management, water management, energy and energy efficiency, contaminated sites and soils, sustainable cities and buildings, air quality, odours and noise, instrumentation, metrology and analysis, risk management and prevention, biodiversity and natural environments, sea and coastline etc.
Pollutec 2021 is an exhaustive seminar programme across 5 key environmental challenges: decarbonisation of industry, management of water resources, biodiversity and businesses, waste management and the fight against soil artificialisation.
In parallel, spurred-on by the success of 2018, the show will replicate its Circular Economy Forum, the stream dedicated to implementing the principles of circularity for cities, regions and businesses. This also provides an opportunity to examine political advances, both at national and European level, and to understand the effects of these legislative changes from different angles.
Ever so popular since its inception in 2016, another show highlight is the Pollutec Innovations Awards showcasing best -in-class innovations from French and international eco-innovative companies.
Punctuating the 4 days, in addition to all the talks, workshops, business meetings etc., Pollutec offers a number of innovative features and educational activities such as:
- The “Gaïatica” Escape Game
- A Water Hub
- Pollutec Sea & Coastline show
- Seas of Plastic show
To date, 27% of visitors who registered for Pollutec are international. They will get the opportunity to meet with more than 300 international exhibitors from 26 countries.

Global Mobility Call will gather the world’s top mobility players in Madrid
Global Mobility Call is aimed at becoming the world’s most important event for sustainable mobility. It will contribute to the post-pandemic economic and social recovery and to building much-needed energy resilience in the face of international shocks. Global Mobility Call will bring together leaders across all sectors involved in the development of sustainable mobility policies and business initiatives.
Organised by IFEMA MADRID and Smobhub, with the sponsorship and support of the Spanish Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA), Global Mobility Call (GMC) was created as a strategic event to position Spain as the international hub for sustainable mobility, in a decisive context of post-pandemic recovery and in an environment of business development and investment opportunities fostered by the NextGenerationEU funds, the largest stimulus package ever seen in Europe, as well as the European Green Deal, the roadmap to make Europe the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050.
With a global vision, Global Mobility Call will bring together leaders from all sectors to share their vision for the development of sustainable mobility policies and business initiatives at the Madrid Exhibition Centre from 14-16 June 2022. The combined exhibition and congress format will feature the participation of major companies, corporations and multinationals, as well as leading speakers and institutions around the thematic blocks of Tech, Data & Innovation; New Urban Planning; Economic Development & Regulation; Sustainable Transportation; and Future Society.

The annual Summit of the International Transport Forum is the world’s largest gathering of transport ministers and the premier global transport policy event.
Every May, ministers with responsibility for transport, business leaders, heads of international organisations, parliamentarians and policymakers, representatives of business associations and leading researchers meet for three days in Leipzig, Germany, to discuss the future of transport through the prism of a strategic topic.
Summit participation has grown to over 1200 participants from more than 80 countries, well beyond the 66 member countries of the ITF. It increasingly attracts business participants, with CEOs joining high-level discussions and companies presenting their work in the Summit exhibition or sponsoring the event. The annual meeting of the ITF Corporate Partnership Board is held as part of the Summit
The 2024 ITF Summit on Greening Transport: Keeping Focus in Times of Crisis will take place from 22 to 24 May in Leipzig, Germany, under the Presidency of Lithuania, with Chile and Azerbaijan as first and second Vice Presidents, respectively.
The 2024 Summit will examine the transport sector’s role in environmental sustainability, and assess the impacts of climate, health and geopolitical crises in this context. With transport responsible for 30% of global CO2 emissions and climate change leading to extreme weather events, the urgency for carbon emission reduction is pivotal. The Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical conflicts have disrupted the transport sector and supply chains, contributing to an energy crisis and environmental challenges. Decision makers are urged to maintain a long-term policy focus amid these crises, leveraging opportunities like cleaner and automated vehicles and digital innovation to promote a greener and more resilient transport sector. Simultaneously, evaluating the environmental risks associated with increased digitalisation is increasingly crucial.
