The ESEF Maakindustrie event, scheduled for March 10 to 13, 2026, at Koninklijke Jaarbeurs Utrecht, is set to be a pivotal gathering for decision-makers in the manufacturing industry. This biennial event, which will be held in conjunction with TechniShow, aims to foster collaboration and innovation within the manufacturing sector. The event is expected to attract over 12,000 visitors, with a significant portion of them being involved in purchasing decisions. This presents an unparalleled opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their products and services to potential clients.
ESEF Maakindustrie is not just another trade fair; it is a platform that brings together OEM companies, product developers, and buyers under one roof. The event's focus on supply chain collaboration and innovation sets it apart from other similar events. Attendees can expect a wide range of activities including content-rich sessions, workshops, and thematic information boards. These features are designed to enhance the visitor experience and provide valuable insights into the latest trends and solutions in the manufacturing industry.
Koninklijke Jaarbeurs and FPT have extended their successful partnership for TechniShow until at least 2030. This partnership underscores the enduring success and growth of the event in bringing together technological innovations within the manufacturing sector. The move to incorporate TechniShow's exhibition floor into ESEF Maakindustrie's setup is expected to broaden the reach of exhibitors across the entire manufacturing industry.
Previous editions of ESEF Maakindustrie have proven its value as a platform for showcasing innovations and trends. In March 2024, over 142 exhibitors participated, attracting approximately 12,000 visitors over four days. The organizers are currently working on preparations for the upcoming edition in 2026, with a renewed emphasis on supply chain collaboration and innovation.
For exhibitors looking to maximize their presence at ESEF Maakindustrie 2026, thorough preparation is key. The organizers offer assistance in aligning marketing goals with exhibit strategies. Additionally, they provide access to an online platform called maakindustrie.nl that reaches over 14,000 professionals weekly seeking news, trends, and suppliers.
