    The International Cargo Bike Festival will return to Utrecht in the Netherlands from 13-14 October 2025 with a new B2B focus and special early bird pricing until March 31st.

    The International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) is set to reunite the cargo bike industry, showcasing its forward-looking vision for urban mobility. Returning with a renewed focus on industry visitors, the 2025 edition of the event aims to attract over 40 exhibitors in global cycling city Utrecht. Scheduled for a mid-week timeframe, the festival will offer an accessible venue featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and an outdoor test track for hands-on demonstrations.

    Numerous exhibitor benefits

    Exhibitors attending the ICBF can look forward to several benefits. The organisers have announced a freeze on 2025 floor space prices, which will include essential amenities such as electric connections, Wi-Fi access, and test track usage. Responding to feedback from past participants, the event will focus on fostering innovation while creating a more business-oriented environment. By shifting to a mid-week schedule, the festival aims to better accommodate dealers, distributors, fleet managers, policymakers, investors, and developers. Exhibitors interested in learning more can access the official exhibitor pack here. While the focus is industry-centric, B2C visitors will still be welcome at the event.

    New Product Pitch feature for 2025 event

    A notable new feature for the 2025 festival is the introduction of the New Product Pitch. As part of their exhibition package, all exhibitors will have the opportunity to present their latest cargo bike, product, or service innovation in a two-minute pitch to festival audiences, at no additional cost. These presentations will also be published on the ICBF YouTube channel, offering exhibitors extended digital exposure. To facilitate seamless presentations, ramps will be installed for easy transportation of cargo bikes on and off the stage. Exhibitors seeking more time can opt for a presentation slot of up to four additional minutes for an extra fee.

    By adapting to the needs of the global cargo bike industry and embracing innovation, the International Cargo Bike Festival 2025 promises to be a dynamic and impactful event, driving the future of sustainable urban transport.

    The International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) has announced its 2024 edition, which will be held at Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, Netherlands, from October 25-26. This marks the festival’s first time in Utrecht, a city celebrated for its robust cycling culture and cargo bike-friendly infrastructure. The event will be held independently, rather than as part of a larger conference as in previous years, yet it will still align with Dutch Cycling Week, an initiative promoting cycling across the Netherlands.

    Jaarbeurs, located in the heart of Utrecht, offers an ideal venue for the festival, with ample space for exhibitions, test tracks, and networking opportunities. The festival will showcase the latest innovations in cargo bikes, reflecting their increasing importance in sustainable urban mobility. Attendees can expect a dynamic program that includes demonstrations, discussions, and opportunities for both industry professionals and the public to engage with the latest trends in cargo biking.

    ICBF 2024 aims to further the conversation on the role of cargo bikes in transforming urban transportation. With Utrecht as its new home, the festival is poised to attract a broad audience, from local enthusiasts to international stakeholders, reinforcing the city’s status as a leader in cycling innovation.

    The International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) has announced its 2024 venue and dates: it will take place in Utrecht, the 4th largest city in the Netherlands, 40 km south of Amsterdam, where the ICBF 2023 event was held.

    Utrecht has a population of 360,000 and is known for being an important hub for national & international transport networks. It’s a globally renowned bike-friendly city that has admirable cycling infrastructure, including its multi-storey bike parking facility, which is reportedly the largest in the world.

    ICBF says Utrecht is one of the most cargo bike-friendly places in the world and it can’t wait to show everyone on a global stage. The city has numerous cargo bike schemes, and many of its citizens use this mode of transport.

    New venue, new partnerships

    ICBF’s 2023 event was hosted at the same location as Fully Charged’s Home Energy and Electric Mobility show, but they will not be collaborating for this year’s event due to a date change for Fully Charged’s show, making ICBF a standalone event for 2024.

    The International Cargo Bike Festival has also announced that it will be working with Dutch Cycling Week for 2024, and exploring more of its possibilities in the years ahead. Dutch Cycling Week is a Utrecht-based cycling knowledge platform that aims to become the world’s largest platform for increasing bicycle awareness levels, policy making and usage.

    ICBF has confirmed there will be plenty of opportunities at the 2024 show for cargo bike and cycling-related companies to showcase their offerings through its expo, test-track, presenting on stage, or numerous online and offline sponsorship and promotional options that are on offer.

    Save the dates

    The ICBF team are compiling information to release to visitors and exhibitors as soon as they can, and in the meantime invites everyone to stay updated by signing up to its mailing list, and keeping an eye on ICBF Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads and Twitter social media channels.

    Previous 2023 show presentations can be viewed on YouTube. ICBF also looks forward to unveiling a new website revamp and rolling out the 2nd issue of its own magazine, Carrier. Carrier Issue 01 can be accessed here.
