Where location meets momentum: HERE Directions 2025 is your launchpad for smart mobility, logistics and tech.
HERE Directions is the flagship event for location technology and this year, it’s all about what’s next.
Join us in Frankfurt for two days of insight, innovation, and industry connection. Whether you're building smarter mobility solutions, optimising logistics, or developing location-aware applications, HERE Directions is where ideas become action.
You’ll hear from HERE experts, partners, and customers who are pushing boundaries with location data and see how it’s driving real-world impact across automotive, transport, and tech.
Why you can't miss this year's event

See how global leaders are using AI to transform predictive ETAs and tackle complex logistics challenges — from container tracking to supply chain optimisation. - AWS technology takes the stage with a live demo of SceneXtract
