Between May 5 and May 7, the City of Clermont-Ferrand welcomed delegations from Cuneo and Bridgewater in order to plan the 5th Conference of the International Network of Michelin Cities, which will be hosted by Cuneo from October 5 to October 9, 2026.
The meeting between the future host, the Secretariat, and the Treasurer of the Network was the opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues revolving around the Conference to come, such as its financing, the logistical organization, or the topics which will be addressed by participants in October 2026. The City of Cuneo has defined key thematics for the 5th Conference, including renewable energy, management of water, “agri-food”, education and communication.
Additionally, the meeting allowed each of the cities to share their local projects and ambitions, but also to reflect upon the importance of international cooperation in today’s world. The next meeting between Cuneo, Bridgewater, and Clermont-Ferrand will occur in the Italian city in October 2025 – at the same time as the next General Assembly of the INMC – to keep working on the organization of the 2026 Conference. The official announcement of the 5th Conference will be made during the meeting in October 2025.
More information will be given shortly. In the meantime, Cuneo, Bridgewater, and Clermont-Ferrand are looking forward to working with the other Member Cities and stakeholders before and during the 5th Conference in 2026.
