The organisers of the 2029 ITS World Congress in Taipei, Taiwan, have confirmed their participation in next year's ITS World Congress in Birmingham, signing an exhibition agreement on the opening day of the 2026 ITS World Congress in Gangneung, South Korea.
The agreement was formally signed by Shih-Yuan Tseng, President of ITS Taiwan, and Shih-Bin Lin, Deputy Secretary General of Taipei City Government, alongside Jasvinder Sidhu, Commercial Partners and Exhibition Lead at ERTICO – ITS Europe, marking another step in strengthening international collaboration between successive ITS World Congress hosts.
The agreement further strengthens the growing international presence at the 33rd ITS World Congress, taking place at Birmingham's NEC from 25–29 October 2027.
Growing international participation
The Traveller Information Services Association (TISA) has also confirmed its participation, represented by Stephanie Chaufton, Senior Co-ordinator, and Matthias Unbehaun, Executive Director. TISA will offer its members the opportunity to participate as part of its stand. The association brings together organisations developing traffic and travel information standards and services, supporting the exchange of reliable information across transport networks.
Companies already confirmed for the exhibition include SWARCO, Kapsch, PTV (part of Umovity), Jenoptik, Toyota, Arup, Yunex Traffic and Honda. They will be joined by representatives of ITS associations from Australia, America, Asia-Pacific and the Nordic countries.
Connecting the global ITS community
The exhibition will be at the heart of the Congress experience at the NEC, connecting participants with the high-level policy programme, technical sessions, ITS Arena, live demonstrations and networking opportunities.
The integrated layout is designed to encourage movement between the exhibition, sessions and demonstrations, creating opportunities for exhibitors to engage with international decision-makers, government representatives, transport authorities, policymakers and industry leaders throughout the event.
Participants will be able to explore transport challenges, connect with technology providers and experience innovative solutions in action, all within one interconnected Congress environment.
Jasvinder Sidhu, Commercial Partners and Exhibition Lead at ERTICO – ITS Europe, commented:
“These commitments demonstrate the international momentum building behind Birmingham 2027. Bringing together future Congress hosts, industry associations and leading technology companies creates valuable opportunities for collaboration, business development and the exchange of knowledge across the global ITS community.”
The latest commitments build on the strong early response to the event previously highlighted by ERTICO – ITS Europe and local host Transport for West Midlands. At the ITS European Congress in April, organisers reported a “remarkable level of early commitment”, with organisations securing stands around 18 months ahead of the Congress.
Looking ahead to Birmingham 2027
Under the theme “Connect Ideas. Transform Transport”, Birmingham 2027 will bring the ITS World Congress back to the UK for the first time since London hosted the event in 2006.
Hosted by the UK Government, led by the Department for Transport, and locally hosted by the West Midlands Combined Authority through Transport for West Midlands, the Congress is organised by ERTICO – ITS Europe in collaboration with the European Commission and co-organised by ITS America and ITS Asia-Pacific.
The event is expected to attract more than 15,000 participants from over 100 countries, bringing together governments, cities, transport authorities, researchers and industry leaders involved in shaping transport policy, investment, procurement and deployment.
Exhibition and partnership opportunities remain available for Birmingham 2027. With international interest continuing to grow, organisations are encouraged to secure their preferred stand locations before the current standard rate ends on 2 November 2026.
