The MIDEST Lyon fair is a significant event in the world of industrial suppliers and is part of GLOBAL INDUSTRIE, an international exhibition for production technologies. Organized by GL events, a leader in the trade fair industry, this trade show is held at the renowned Eurexpo Lyon exhibition center in Chassieu, near Lyon, known for its excellent infrastructure and accessibility. MIDEST plays a crucial role in connecting contractors and subcontractors and serves as a platform for manufacturers, distributors, and service providers from various sectors such as metalworking, plastics, electrical engineering, and industrial services. The fair attracts professional buyers, production managers, and development engineers seeking new suppliers and information on the latest processes and materials. In addition to opportunities for establishing and strengthening business relationships, MIDEST also offers an extensive program of technical and economic conferences. A highlight of the fair is the MIDEST Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements and innovations in the industry. The fair takes place in Paris in even years, while odd years are reserved for the Lyon edition. This makes MIDEST a pivotal meeting point for the industry, regularly attracting experts and decision-makers from around the world to explore trends, share knowledge, and foster long-term business relationships. The MIDEST takes place biennially, and therefore for the forty-ninth time previsibly in March 2027 in Chassieu.
