EQUIP AUTO joins forces with Pink October and the ARC Foundation

Paris, September 3th, 2025 – From April 25 to October 18, 2025, every ticket sold for the anniversary edition of EQUIP AUTO (October 14–18, 2025) will directly support The Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
On Pink October, EQUIP AUTO is joining forces with the ARC Foundation to support cancer research. For each paid admission, a contribution will be donated to the Foundation, giving every visitor the opportunity to actively take part in this cause.
Beyond attending the show, visitors and exhibitors can also further their commitment by making an additional donation directly on the exhibition official website.
« For our 50th anniversary, we wanted every visitor to become a driving force for cancer research. This is our way of celebrating half a century dedicated to the automotive sector while looking ahead with solidarity. Faced with a disease that affects us all, directly or indirectly, it was only natural for EQUIP AUTO to contribute in a way that fully aligns with the exhibition’s CSR commitments. Together, let’s drive research forward. EQUIP AUTO is proud to embody values of solidarity, responsibility, and hope, » explains Aurélie Jouve, Director of EQUIP AUTO.
