The Poznań International Fair (Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie - MTP) is the largest and oldest fair center in Poland and a vital meeting point for international trade in Central Europe.

Located in the heart of the city of Poznań, the fairgrounds boast modern exhibition pavilions and conference facilities. MTP hosts dozens of trade fairs and exhibitions each year, covering a wide range of industries, including automotive (Poznań Motor Show), agriculture (Polagra), and furniture.
