MIMS Automobility Exhibition - strategic partner of EPAA-2026

For the first time in the history of the project, the anniversary exhibition was held in St. Petersburg. The new platform expanded the geography of the professional audience and created additional opportunities for interaction between participants of the automotive market of Russia and foreign countries. The event was attended by more than 38,000 people.

In the exposition MIMS Automobility St. Petersburg 2026 were presented 1,487 companies from Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Vietnam, India, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, China, South Korea, Poland, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, Uzbekistan. Manufacturers and suppliers presented auto parts and components, diagnostic and service equipment, tools, batteries, lubricants, autochemistry, digital products and technologies for automotive maintenance.

National expositions became the main component of the international presence at the exhibition. Partners from China, Turkey, India, South Korea and Iran presented national pavilions and held meetings with distributors, buyers and potential partners.

The high business status of the event and audience satisfaction are confirmed by the results of surveys: more than half of the visitors to the exhibition are representatives of top management of companies, and 92% of the guests gave a positive assessment of the event.

The business program MIMS Automobility St. Petersburg 2026 was held all four days of the exhibition and brought together representatives of business, professional associations, government agencies and industry experts. The discussions focused on the digitalization of the automotive business, the development of the production of automotive components, personnel support, marketplaces and e-commerce, logistics, car service and new business development tools.

The open conference platform AGORA has once again become one of the central places of professional dialogue at the exhibition. The program brought together leading representatives of the automotive aftermarket and was built around practical issues that directly affect the work of manufacturers, distributors, car services and other market participants.

The focus was on such issues as the state of the after-sales service market, the development of the automotive component industry, analytics and changes in the demand structure, business digitalization, marketplaces, procurement and distribution, service, corporate fleets and the personnel market.

Special attention was paid to the situation with personnel in the automotive industry. The personnel session was attended by representatives of the largest recruitment platforms, including Avito Work and hh.ru. Experts discussed the shortage of specialists, changes in employee requirements, recruitment tools and opportunities to attract young personnel to the industry.

MIMS Academy became a practical and educational part of the exhibition for the third time. The project combined the conference program and an open practical platform for the development and preservation of professional skills of STO specialists. The format allowed specialists not only to discuss the technology of repair and maintenance of cars, but also to see the equipment and professional techniques directly in the work. The concept continued the development of the project, which first appeared at the exhibition in 2024 and in 2026 combined educational sessions with a demonstration area.

The anniversary of MIMS Automobility was an important part of the 2026 exhibition. For 30 years, the project has formed a professional platform where manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, representatives of the automotive service business and other segments of the automotive industry meet to find partners, discuss market changes and develop new business areas.

Next year the exhibition will be held in Moscow. MIMS Automobility will be held from 24 to 27 August 2027 at the site of VDNKh Expo. The largest automotive industry event in Russia and CIS countries will once again bring together exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.
