Busworld launches digital marketplace Busworld Plaza to connect buyers and suppliers year-round

Busworld launches Busworld Plaza, a new digital marketplace dedicated to the bus and coach manufacturing industry. The platform is presented not as replacement for Busworld’s exhibitions, but a complement, created to keep the community of buyers and suppliers connected all year round. The upcoming Busworld Europe 2025 will be held in Brussels in early October.

Busworld Plaza addresses both sides of the industry. Buyers, such as purchase managers and engineers at OEMs, body builders and operators, can search, compare and discover the latest components, services and digital solutions. Suppliers, meaning manufacturers of parts, components, software and services, gain global visibility and present their portfolio directly to the right audience.

Busworld Plaza to bring buyers and suppliers together

The components sector has always been an important part of the exhibition, but with Busworld Plaza, the organization aims to bring it to a centre stage. During the show, on-site activations will involve visitors directly, while suppliers and buyers are invited to attend the first Suppliers’ Night on Wednesday 8 October, an informal networking evening designed to strengthen connections and explore new opportunities.

Vincent Dewaele, CEO of Busworld International, comments: “Busworld Plaza adds an extra layer to all of Busworld’s physical events. It brings buyers and suppliers closer together and ensures the conversations don’t stop when the exhibition doors close.”
