industriexpon

Industriexpon is an international trade fair and conference series focused on industrial technology, manufacturing, and related supply chains. It gathers equipment manufacturers, software developers, service providers, research institutions, and policy makers to showcase innovations and discuss trends shaping modern industry.

Organized by the Industriexpon Association in collaboration with national industry groups, the event is typically held in a major city with a large convention center. It combines an extensive trade exhibition with a multi-track conference program, product demonstrations, and business matchmaking services designed to connect buyers and suppliers.

Industriexpon was founded in 2003 by a coalition of regional manufacturing associations to create a single platform for technology transfer across sectors such as automation, robotics, energy efficiency, and digital manufacturing. The expo has since expanded to include regional satellite events and expanded virtual participation to reach a global audience.

The exhibition hall features hundreds of exhibitors, from machinery and automation suppliers to software platforms and consulting services. The conference program covers topics including Industry 4.0, supply chain resilience, additive manufacturing, and green manufacturing. The event also hosts startup pavilions, investor forums, and live demonstrations of autonomous and collaborative systems.

Industriexpon is considered a leading venue for industry networking and technology deployment, with attendees reporting supplier shortlists, pilot projects, and partnerships. It is credited with accelerating market access for new technologies, while some critics note the event’s scale can be challenging for smaller firms due to travel costs and booth expenses.
