NAVITECH 2027: navigation and mobility technologies

6–9 April 2027 at Timiryazev Center Exhibition Complex, Moscow, Russia. Organised by EXPOCENTRE AO, NAVITECH brings together navigation, geodata, transport telematics and related technology providers with end users and professionals. It forms part of the Russian Week of High Technologies. The organiser presents the event as a place to examine solutions for transport, mapping, connected mobility and urban systems.

Why NAVITECH matters

Compare technologies across connected fields

The published themes span high-precision satellite navigation, geodata, transport telematics, smart roads, smart cities, space technologies and connected or highly automated vehicles. This mix is useful when a project depends on several layers—positioning, data, communications, software and operational integration—rather than a single device.

Meet suppliers and discuss implementation

Manufacturers, software developers, platform providers, integrators and major end users are among the groups the organiser says it welcomes. Visitors can use the exhibition to compare approaches, ask about compatibility and identify which solutions merit a deeper technical review after the event.

Understand the audience

The organiser’s 2026 visitor information reports 2,284 people interested in NAVITECH. It lists a professional mix including engineers, specialists, managers, business owners and people from transport, IT, research, telecommunications, construction and public administration. These are reported audience details for the 2026 event, not a forecast for 2027.

Who should visit NAVITECH?

Transport operators and fleet teams

If you manage vehicles or transport services, focus on the fit between positioning, telematics, fleet data and operating workflows. Prepare a short list of use cases, such as tracking assets, improving dispatch visibility or evaluating connected-vehicle functions, and ask suppliers how their systems exchange data and what deployment conditions they require.

Systems integrators and technology developers

Integrators and developers can compare hardware, mapping applications, telematics platforms and navigation components. Bring a simple architecture of your existing stack and note interfaces, data formats, coverage needs and support requirements that would determine whether a product is relevant.

Public-sector and urban mobility professionals

For city, road and public transport teams, the announced themes around smart cities, smart roads and intelligent transport systems provide a basis for exploring how navigation and information services might support operational needs. Identify the agencies and operators involved in procurement and implementation before treating a product demonstration as a project-ready solution.

Manufacturers, distributors and investors

Technology suppliers can use conversations to test product positioning, find potential integration partners and understand end-user priorities. Distributors and investors may compare product ranges and technical maturity, then follow up with requests for specifications, certification details and commercial terms relevant to their own markets.

What can you find at NAVITECH?

• Satellite navigation equipment, positioning technologies and methods for improving navigation accuracy.
• Geodata, mapping applications, surveying and geoinformation systems.
• Transport telematics, fleet-related platforms and transport information services.
• Connected, highly automated and in-vehicle technologies.
• Smart-road and smart-city systems, including transport information and operational tools.
• Space technologies and related applications presented in the organiser’s event themes.

Use these categories as a starting point rather than assuming every supplier covers every use case. Confirm current product specifications, supported networks, interoperability and service arrangements directly with each provider.

How to prepare for NAVITECH

1. Define the decision you need to make

Write down the project or operational question behind your visit. Examples include selecting a positioning component, evaluating a fleet platform, finding a mapping-data partner or reviewing connected-vehicle technology. A specific question helps you distinguish a useful conversation from a general product overview.

2. Prioritise the technology layers

Group your requirements into positioning and sensors, data and maps, communications, software, integration and ongoing support. Mark which are mandatory and which are options. This makes comparisons more consistent across exhibitors.

3. Prepare technical questions

• Which positioning sources, sensors and accuracy levels does the solution support?
• What data formats, APIs or interfaces are available?
• How does it integrate with existing fleet, mapping or transport systems?
• What connectivity and operating conditions are required?
• How are updates, support and system maintenance handled?
• Which deployment assumptions should be validated in a pilot?

4. Check the organiser’s current information

Review the official NAVITECH site for the latest programme, registration, exhibitor and access details before making arrangements. The event programme and participation instructions can change between editions; do not rely on an older event listing for current arrangements.

How to use your time on site

Start with the categories closest to your stated objective, then leave time to explore adjacent technologies that affect integration. After each conversation, record company → product → project fit → technical question → next action. Note claims that require verification, and ask for documentation rather than relying on a brief stand explanation for decisions involving accuracy, compatibility or deployment.

If you are comparing several suppliers, use the same questions and requirements with each. Separate technical fit from commercial fit: a promising demonstration does not by itself confirm service levels, implementation effort, compliance or total cost. Schedule follow-up with the people who can provide the missing details.

After NAVITECH: turn conversations into decisions

Within a few days, sort contacts into immediate project needs, possible future partners and general market intelligence. For the first group, send a concise summary of the use case and request the specifications, interfaces, coverage information or trial details needed for evaluation. For potential integration partners, clarify responsibilities and the next technical discussion. Record which assumptions remain open before recommending a purchase or pilot.

Who should consider exhibiting?

The organiser identifies hardware manufacturers, software developers, telematics-platform and mapping-application providers, telematics integrators and major end users among the event’s participants. A prospective exhibitor should decide what visitors need to understand or compare, prepare a working demonstration where appropriate, and set a clear follow-up process for technical and commercial enquiries. Any expected return should be assessed against the company’s own objectives; attendance alone does not guarantee leads or sales.

NAVITECH visitor checklist

Before

• ☐ Define one primary project or sourcing objective.
• ☐ List the systems, interfaces and operating conditions that matter.
• ☐ Check the organiser’s current programme, registration and travel guidance.
• ☐ Prepare technical questions and a supplier comparison sheet.

During

• ☐ Compare solutions against the same requirements.
• ☐ Record product claims that need written confirmation.
• ☐ Agree a specific next step with relevant contacts.

After

• ☐ Request missing specifications and support information.
• ☐ Review integration, compliance and commercial assumptions before advancing a solution.
• ☐ Assign an owner and deadline to each worthwhile follow-up.

Is NAVITECH worth visiting?

NAVITECH is most relevant to professionals whose work touches navigation, geodata, transport telematics, connected mobility or urban transport systems. Its value depends on whether you arrive with a defined technical or sourcing question and use conversations to check fit rather than collect product claims. If you are planning a project, bring the constraints that vendors need to understand and leave with documented next steps.

NAVITECH 2027 at a glance

Make the visit purposeful

Before travelling, ask: Which navigation, data or mobility decision can I move forward by speaking directly with the people building these systems? A focused brief, consistent comparisons and prompt follow-up make the exhibition more useful.
