22 October, 2026More than four months ahead of the event, +INDUSTRY 2027 has already confirmed over 400 exhibiting companies and attracted thousands of registered trade visitors for an edition that will bring together key players from across the industrial sector at Bilbao Exhibition Centre from 23 to 25 February. The platform will bring together seven specialised trade fairs, offering a sector-specific journey through the entire industrial value chain and providing access to technologies, processes and solutions related to automation and robotics, digitalisation, maintenance, pumps and valves, additive manufacturing and 3D printing, industrial subcontracting and supplies, as well as a dedicated space for industrial employment and talent.
The event also stands out for the highly qualified profile and purchasing power of its visitors, who show a strong interest in innovation, investment in new technologies and continuous improvement. It will bring together purchasing, production, engineering, maintenance and management professionals from sectors such as automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, defence, energy, steel, petrochemicals and food processing, as well as manufacturers of machinery, components and industrial equipment. Visitor recruitment activities are being carried out in both domestic and international markets, with targeted initiatives in countries such as Portugal, France, Germany and Italy. Beyond Europe, key markets include Algeria, Mexico, China, India, Colombia and the United States.
As exhibitor participation and the number of registered professionals continue to grow, +INDUSTRY is also making progress in shaping the programme of activities that will complement the exhibition area. Conferences, Innovation Workshops, sector-specific meetings and networking opportunities will address the main trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the evolution of industry, while encouraging knowledge exchange and the creation of new business opportunities.
Among the highlights of this edition is the 22nd European Industrial Subcontracting Meeting, organised by Cambra Barcelona, CámaraBilbao and Bilbao Exhibition Centre, in collaboration with the Spanish Chambers of Commerce. This forum facilitates B2B meetings between subcontracting companies and industrial buyers with specific manufacturing and supply requirements. Its previous edition generated more than 1,000 business meetings.
+INDUSTRY TO KICK OFF THE INDUSTRIAL TRADE FAIR CALENDAR IN 2027
+INDUSTRY 2027 will take place from 23 to 25 February, marking a change in the event calendar compared with previous editions, aimed at improving the attendee experience and maximising return on investment. The new dates will enable better planning of participation and allow key aspects such as logistics, business contact generation and post-event follow-up to be addressed further in advance.
Furthermore, its position at the beginning of the international trade fair calendar will reinforce +INDUSTRY's standing as a leading event in its field. This change, which responds to the current commercial needs of many companies, reflects the organising team's firm commitment to providing a platform that drives innovation and business opportunities, better serves its customers and anticipates global market demands.
+INDUSTRY 2027 will bring together AdditꜪD, BeDIGITAL, Maintenance, Pumps & Valves, Subcontratación, WeAR and WORKinn Talent Hub. The event is organised by Bilbao Exhibition Centre, with SPRI–Basque Government and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia as Institutional Partners.
