The world’s biggest business-to-business exhibition dedicated exclusively to bus and coach returns to Brussels and IRU is at the heart of it. As a partner of the Busworld Europe Congress 2025, IRU will lead key panel discussions.
Busworld Europe, running from 4 to 9 October, will gather the global bus and coach industry for its flagship trade fair and the Busworld Europe Congress.
IRU will take centre stage in leading policy debates on the future of passenger mobility.
IRU EU Director Raluca Marian said, “Bus and coach operators are the backbone of sustainable, inclusive mobility in Europe and beyond.”
“Busworld Europe provides a unique platform to connect policy and the industry. IRU is proud to once again be part of the discussions to ensure the sector’s voice is heard at the highest level,” she added.
This year’s edition will welcome more than 500 exhibitors and nearly 40,000 professionals from across the globe.
Running alongside the exhibition, the Congress will gather policymakers, operators, manufacturers, city authorities, and suppliers to tackle some of the biggest issues in passenger mobility: the socio-economic impact of bus and coach travel, digitalisation, safety, long-distance services, and governance challenges for public authorities.
