IAA Mobility 2025: It's all about Mobility!
Innovationsland Bayern: Your strong partner for transformation
The claim of this year's IAA Mobility expresses what visitors can expect this year: It's all about Mobility! Everything revolves around mobility - both at the Summit and at the Open Space - because this year's IAA is once again taking place at several venues. The joint stand of Bayern Innovativ and the StMWi is right in the middle of it all, presenting Bavaria as a leading location for transformation and innovation together with partners and co-exhibitors.
Summit: Theme islands demonstrate Bavaria's innovative strength
Bavaria's leading role in the mobility system is also reflected in this year's stand concept, which once again appears under the slogan "BAVARIA the land of innovation". The Bavarian map is once again a visual highlight this year. Thematically, the stand focuses on the topics "Bavaria as a partner", "Strength through transformation" and "Innovation as a driving force", which are presented in the form of themed islands on the exhibition stand and are described in more detail below.
Theme island 1: Bavaria as a partner
The following StMWi organizations are available as partners for the challenges of transformation in the innovation state of Bavaria:
The Automotive Cluster is the network of the Bavarian automotive industry. It supports the industry in its transformation and promotes innovations in the areas of powertrains, interiors, electrics/electronics and driver assistance systems. It is also active in cross-cutting topics such as digitalization, production and sustainability. Through forums, congresses and workshops, the cluster strengthens the cross-industry exchange between business and science. It also provides support in accessing funding programs and actively participates in projects.

The Bavarian Research and Innovation Agency (BayFIA) is a cooperation network and contact point for needs-based support in the areas of research, innovation and transformation. Four central institutions of the Bavarian research and innovation landscape pool their expertise under the umbrella of BayFIA: Bayerische Forschungsallianz GmbH (BayFOR), Bayerische Transformations- und Forschungsstiftung (BayTFS), Bayerische Patentallianz GmbH (BayPAT) and Bayern Innovativ GmbH. BayFIA offers a comprehensive and coordinated range of services and advice on research and innovation funding, knowledge and technology transfer as well as patents and licenses.
Theme island 2: Strength through transformation
Competitiveness is a key criterion for entrepreneurial success. The Free State of Bavaria promotes this with specific offers and uses innovations from selected cluster partners and companies to show how transformation can be successful.
The Transformation division supports Bavarian companies through all stages of the transformation process by providing tailored consulting services and coordinating several networks.

Theme island 3: Innovation as a driver
Transformation is only possible through innovation - be it in the area of sustainability and the circular economy, in energy and charging management, in smart cities and mobility solutions or in data-driven business models. The focus is on products and solutions that showcase Bavarian innovative strength.
The AHEAD (Autonomous Humanitarian Emergency Aid Devices) project is transferring robotic technologies from remote-controlled systems to humanitarian and disaster relief applications. The vision is to use remote-controlled amphibious vehicles to transport relief supplies safely and cost-effectively to those in need, as well as to use them in disaster scenarios in which places that are difficult to access also need to be reached and supplied or people need to be rescued. It is important to protect drivers and rescuers of such systems as much as possible.
The transportation of humanitarian goods poses serious problems for NGOs. The drivers of aid transports are exposed to risks from attacks, animal attacks and diseases such as malaria or Ebola. In addition, there is often insufficient infrastructure for transportation in the affected areas, for example in the impassable and flood-affected regions of South Sudan.
Due to the rapidly increasing number of natural and catastrophic events, the use case in the RESTIEK sub-project is dedicated to supporting rescue teams.
Disaster events pose major challenges for civil protection and disaster control, including in terms of
- Availability of communication links,
- availability of up-to-date data for situation assessment and evaluation, especially with regard to affected critical infrastructures,
- accessibility of the disaster area despite destroyed infrastructure and safe transportation of goods to/from disaster areas.
The battery value chain comprises numerous steps - from the selection and processing of materials to the production of electrodes and battery cells, the construction of battery modules and system integration. Recycling and secondary use also play a central role.
In addition, topics such as occupational safety and basic specialist knowledge play an important role for entry and qualified work in this field.
The B³ Batterie Bildungsnetzwerk Bayern systematically teaches this content. All qualifications are developed by experts with a practical orientation and aim to make you fit for the necessary topics for your practice.
