Urbest

Urbest is the essential trade fair for all professionals shaping the future of public space and urban development in the Grand Est region of France. Recognized as the Salon des Maires et des Décideurs de l’Espace Public du Grand Est, this premier exhibition, held annually in Metz, serves as a crucial crossroads for information exchange and commercial development between decision-makers and specialized suppliers across the public procurement sector.

The event is specifically designed for mayors, elected officials from rural and urban communities, inter-municipal authorities, community managers, architects, urban planners, landscapers, public works companies, and managers of technical services, including those responsible for green spaces, lighting, and urban furniture. Urbest provides a comprehensive panorama of innovative and operational solutions to support local authorities in their infrastructure projects and daily management challenges, addressing the specific needs of both urban environments and rural spaces throughout the Greater Eastern region.

Visitors can explore offers and services dedicated to the comprehensive development, equipment, and management of public areas. Exhibitors, representing nearly 300 companies and brands across a vast exhibition space, showcase expertise in vital sectors essential to community development. These areas include energy and ecological transition, digital technology applications for public organizations, modern mobility solutions, health and social life, safety and security, and critical environmental strategies such as revegetalisation and biodiversity promotion.

Urbest functions as a dynamic platform for networking, featuring a rich program of professional meetings, specialized conferences, workshops, and training sessions. These key events address the most pressing issues facing public decision-makers, offering deep dives into topics like communal cybersecurity, financing local projects, and adapting to ecological challenges. By facilitating contacts, discussions, and debates, Urbest remains a unique and indispensable resource for identifying concrete answers and exploring new areas of expertise crucial for public space development today and for envisioning the public space of tomorrow.
