Between 15th and 21st April, 2013, 3995 Messe München will be opening the gates on the world´s largest construction equipment trade show.

This year’s event will cover a total of 570,000m² of exhibition space, spread between 16 halls, accounting for 180,000m², and the outdoor exhibition area, offering 390,000m². Over 3,400 exhibitors from 57 countries will be showcasing their innovations at bauma 2013, a rise on the 3,256 exhibitors from 53 countries at bauma 2010. Germany (1,366 exhibitors); Italy (481 exhibitors); and China (323 exhibitors) make up the top three exhibiting countries at bauma 2013.

Already, the number of visitors registering their attendance in advance has risen as compared to the same stage of bauma 2010. Messe München is now expecting over 450,000 visitors to come to the show.

The next generation is a prominent theme of bauma 2013. Covering a 3000m² area, the VDMA 1188 Construction Equipment and Building Material Machinery Association, Messe München and the LandBauTechnik Bundesverband are putting on the first ever extensive programme targeted at young people. The aim of the initiative is to fill young people with enthusiasm for technology and the construction and building material machinery sector in particular.

At the West Entrance, there will be an "International Information Centre Research Live". At this display, the ninth of its kind, 20 universities from Germany and abroad will be presenting the latest results from research and development projects. The event is being organized by the Technical University of Dresden.
