Doors close, in Rho Fiera Milano, at the 81st International two-wheeler Exhibition, with record number of exhibitors, brands and surface occupied. Great success also for the new contents of the outdoor areas: over 600,000 attendees in six days
MILAN, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- All that was missing was the overall attendance figure, those of the public, media, technicians and industry operators, to sanction the success of EICMA 2024, which closed its doors yesterday at Rho Fiera Milano. And the confirmation came this morning, with the statement released by the organization. In fact, more than 600,000 attendees were recorded during the six days of Edition number 81 of the International Two-Wheeler Exhibition, the one that celebrated 110 years of the most important exhibition event for motorcycle enthusiasts and the industry: more than 40,000 more than an already excellent 2023 edition.
Also record-breaking is the number of exhibitors present, more than 770, representing 45 countries and 2163 brands, data that confirm the relevance and attractiveness of EICMA, where as many as 26 percent of companies were present for the first time at the Milanese event.
Important confirmations also come from the indicators related to the business sphere. In line with the last editions of EICMA is the number of industry professionals selected and profiled with the renewed quality criteria introduced in 2022: this year more than 38 thousand professionals coming from 126 different nations participated in the event.
The presence of journalists, content creators, experts and communication professionals grew, with a solid +13% over 2023 and a provenance from as many as 74 countries, they almost reach the number of 8000. Media that reported on the many innovations brought by the manufacturers, who returned en masse for this 2024 edition, and the content proposed by the organization outside and inside the pavilions. In fact, with a record area of over 330,000 square meters, EICMA enchanted visitors and media in the outdoor MotoLive area, enlivened by shows, new entertainment, motorcycle trials, 8 hours of live television coverage and, above all, by the races featuring international riders and motorsport legends, as well as the twin-cylinder adventure bikes, queens of the motorcycle market. Also noteworthy was the success of the Gaming area, taken by storm by thousands of young people, as well as the Start up & Security area created thanks to the collaboration and support of ITA, the Italian Trade Agency for the promotion abroad and internationalization of Italian companies. And great interest, with more than 20 thousand visits, was also aroused by the exhibition "EICMA: 110 years of two-wheel design" set up to celebrate the event's anniversary through a selection 36 historical and modern motorcycles.
"Very satisfied" EICMA president and CEO Pietro Meda and Paolo Magri, who stressed in the statement that "these numbers are the best way to celebrate such a unique milestone as EICMA's 110th anniversary."
"Since after the interruption due to Covid," Meda and Magri added, "we have never stopped investing in and looking to the future of the event, implementing services for companies, content, promotion and visitor experiences for the public. The return of all the manufacturers was a source of great pride, as was that of seeing the pavilions full of young people and families: to them, to all the enthusiasts and to our partners goes our biggest thank you".
The appointment with EICMA 2025 is from November 4 to 9.

EICMA 2024: THE SUMMA CUM LAUDE EDITION
At Anker Day 2026, Anker Innovations marks its 15th anniversary by unveiling THUS™ - ANKER's first neural-net Compute-in-Memory AI audio chip - and a new generation of products across soundcore and eufy.
NEW YORK and Bellevue, Wash., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anker Innovations is hosting Anker Day 2026: Where Ultimate Meets Possible, its annual brand event to showcase the newest product launches and technology break-throughs across its portfolio. Where Ultimate Meets Possible will bring together media, retail buyers and key influencers for an exclusive look at what's next in consumer electronics, spanning premium audio, home energy and the smart home appliances.
Where Ultimate Meets Possible will be held at STORIED in New York City, an invite-only experience featuring keynote presentations, hands-on product demonstrations and a deep dive into the company's latest innovations.
Anker Day 2026 debuted innovations across three brands: soundcore's Liberty 5 Pro and Pro Max — the first earbuds powered by Anker's new THUS™ AI chip — alongside VibeOS AI platform and Nebula SpaceFlow; Anker SOLIX's S2000, the world's longest-lasting 2kWh home backup power station; and eufy's EdgeAgent™, a local AI home security agent, plus new baby care products.
Started With Power
Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.
2012 - The Beginning
Anker's first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank - the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people's hands.
2013 - PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android - setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.
2018 - GaN from Aerospace
An early adopter of Gallium Nitride (GaN) from aerospace applications for consumer charging - delivering a 40% size reduction without sacrificing output.
2019 - World's Smallest 18W Charger
Delivered the world's smallest 18W charger at the time - proving that ultimate performance and ultra-compact form are not a trade-off.
2022 - GaNPrime™
Pioneered high-power multi-port chargers with dynamic power distribution - intelligently allocating power across multiple devices simultaneously.
2023 - 240W Wall Charger
Delivered the industry's highest-power 240W wall charger at the time - meeting the demands of the most power-hungry professional setups.
2024 - InstaCord™ & UltraDura™
In 2024, InstaCord™ became Anker's most advanced retractable‑cable technology and UltraDura™ achieved industry‑leading durability.
2025 - GaNPrime™ 2.0 • PowerIQ™ 5.0 • AnkerSense™ View • TurboBoost™
GaNPrime™ 2.0 (most advanced fast charging), PowerIQ™ 5.0 (smartest compatibility), AnkerSense™ View (intelligent display technology), and TurboBoost™ for ultra-fast power bank recharging. The pursuit never stops.
Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.
Today's Milestone: Anker Thus™
For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once - and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.
THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.
The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker's previous-generation flagship earphones.
Clear Calls - the chip's first disclosed feature - runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.
"Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again."
- Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations
THUS™ takes inspiration from "Thus have I heard", a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission - knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.
All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.
Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™
The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables - understanding, adapting, and tuning - each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.
15 Years, One Promise
From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 - the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people's lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.
