From March 10 through 13, 2026, the manufacturing industry gathered at Koninklijke Jaarbeurs. TechniShow and ESEF brought the entire chain together and attracted a high-quality, content-driven audience. With a renewed concept and a clear focus on quality, this edition was positively received by both exhibitors and visitors.
The strength of the combination of TechniShow and ESEF lay in its breadth. From suppliers and machine builders to high-tech applications, the entire chain was represented. This also makes the platform relevant for sectors such as the food industry, where technology and production come together.
Ricardo Vivas, cluster manager of Manufacturing & Industry at Jaarbeurs, emphasizes the importance of collaboration: “We are proud of the level of TechniShow and ESEF.” According to him, this is partly due to the collaboration with FPT/NEVAT and the dedicated project teams involved.
This year, the exhibition placed a clear emphasis on content and relevance. Visitors arrived with purpose and asked concrete questions. This led to valuable conversations and new partnerships on the exhibition floor. Exhibitors indicated that this type of audience in particular highlights the added value of participation.
Machines were running on the exhibition floor, and live demonstrations were held. New technologies and applications were therefore immediately visible to visitors. The Main Stage also attracted significant attention, with sessions covering topics such as Women in Manufacturing and defense-related themes.
The Factory of the Future featured its largest edition ever, with 22 exhibitors. Here, collaboration within the production process took center stage. Eddo Cammeraat, chairman of FPT: “Through our joint participation, we demonstrate how collaboration can lead to a unique solution for integrating the entire production process.”
The 75th anniversary of TechniShow was also celebrated during the exhibition. In total, 24,664 professionals attended the events. The next edition is scheduled for March 14 through 17, 2028.
