How to approach B2B prospecting at FIAA 2026
-
Segment targets by product and market. Use the exhibitor map to shortlist stands focused on bodywork, propulsion or charging infrastructure and build a list of 20 priority companies before arriving.
-
Schedule meetings in advance. Liveconnect supports prearranged slots; block 25 to 30 minutes for demos and shorter slots for follow ups.
-
Prepare digital collateral. Share one‑page PDFs and QR links for technical specs so prospects can download details on site rather than handling bulky brochures.
-
Filter by origin and technical scope. For electromobility focus on battery and infrastructure suppliers; for connectivity prioritise telematics providers and system integrators.
-
Set measurable daily goals. Define number of prebooked meetings and qualified leads to pursue after the show.
Practical visitor notes
Professional registration is open and the organiser publishes the exhibitor floorplan and activity schedule online. Check transport and service information for Ifema to optimise transfers between halls.
