On the STAGES of ILA, intensive scientific exchange takes place. Topics such as economic development, resource efficiency and innovation in aviation are discussed in panels and workshops. On these conference platforms, the aerospace and defense industry segments are examined in depth.

The ILA Talent Hub brings together companies, emerging talent and career perspectives across the aerospace industry, showing how education and the industry's technological transformation connect.

Berlin’s and BER Airport’s infrastructure includes:
•    Accommodation near the exhibition grounds
•    Hotels with recognized environmental or sustainability certifications
•    Free shuttle service via public transport during ILA
•    Electric golf carts for on-site shuttling at the exhibition grounds
•    Charging stations for electric vehicles at chalets and parking areas

In exhibition construction, Messe Berlin takes into account, among other things, the reusability and recyclability of materials and flooring. In various areas, carpet and flooring systems are used that are designed for multiple use or can be recovered after use. These include, for example, the reusable Escolita carpet tiles and the Rewind carpets. The use of rental furniture and plants helps reduce resource consumption and waste. Wherever possible, local suppliers from the Berlin region are involved to minimize transport distances. All serviced areas are designed to be accessible to promote inclusion. Local storage facilities also support efficient logistics – enabling exhibition operations in harmony with the environment and society.

From banner to bag – these are upcycling products made from banners.

Catering for ILA participants, exhibitors, and staff focuses on:
•    Products from organic farming and fair trade, certified organic, as well as seasonal products with optimized transport routes
•    Portion planning to reduce food waste
•    Vegan and vegetarian catering options
•    Water provided by the German Armed Forces and the organizers for self-service refill

To reduce our energy consumption and related CO₂ emissions, we began developing a comprehensive energy concept more than ten years ago. LED technology is used in lighting systems. Additionally, ILA planning focuses on optimized transport logistics to shorten transport distances.

At Messe Berlin we are reusing materials, separating recyclables, and reintegrating them into the recycling loop:

• A collaboration with the Berlin Senate Department for Environment, Mobility, Consumer and Climate Protection (Zero Waste initiative ReUse Berlin) serves to exchange ideas on options for reusing and recovering booth construction materials.
• In various areas, carpet and flooring systems are used that are designed for multiple use or can be recovered after use, for example the reusable Escolita carpet tiles and the Rewind carpets.
