submitted by interliftinterlift will take place at a new location for the first time in 2025: From 14 to 17 October 2025, the lift industry will meet at Messe Nürnberg. It is already clear that the world’s leading trade fair and the new location are winning over the industry. Numerous exhibitors, including some newcomers, have already registered to take part in interlift in Nuremberg in 2025. It is therefore becoming apparent that interlift will grow in terms of exhibition space.

If Afad was managed with a scientific mind based on competence, there would not have been such a delay in responding to the earthquake.
