THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026

Future Tire Forum: The new future forums at THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026

Smart production, sustainable materials, strong cycles – presented on the TIRE STAGE.

The Future Tire Forum expanded THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026 with a new, specialised discussion forum. In collaboration with the European Rubber Journal, two one-hour Future Tyre discussion forums were held on the TIRE STAGE – each on two separate trade fair days.

The sessions focused on central future themes of the tyre industry, including:

AI-supported and automated production processes
innovative and sustainable materials,
solutions and models of recycling management,
regulatory developments and requirements

The focused content sessions were followed by networking sessions.

With the Future Tire Forum, THE TIRE COLOGNE introduced a format that provided guidance, brought together expertise and fostered dialogue on forward-looking strategies for the global tyre industry.
