INNOTRANS: The Railway Influencer Festival will return at InnoTrans 2026, where rail influencers and bloggers from around the world will be able to network with invited guests in a festival atmosphere at the world’s biggest rail industry event.

A jury will present the Railway Influencer Award in four categories: Best InnoTrans Video, Best Brand Video, Best Mobility Channel and a new category for the Best Urban Mobility Video, which will honour authentic travel stories and experiences with public transport.

The InnoTrans Hackathon – AI on Track event will also inspire fresh thinking at the trade fair, with developers, start-ups and exhibitors be working on AI-based ideas. Companies can benefit from direct access to new ideas and talent, while participants will be able to present their concepts to an international audience. The best teams will be honoured at an awards ceremony on the Friday.
