Launch of Innovation Hubs:
extra exposure for exhibitors

The manufacturing industry is on the eve of a major transition. Sustainability and circularity are increasingly important. TechniShow 2026 offers exhibitors the opportunity to showcase these developments in practice. Members of FPT & NEVAT, in cooperation with Jaarbeurs, are introducing 3 new innovation squares.

Assembly Square Racecar (Sheet Metal Initiative)

The Joint Sheet Metal Initiative highlights the power of collaboration in the industry in a special way. Each participating company makes a part of a race car for visitors to pick up. Then visitors assemble the race car at the assembly plaza. The assembly plaza at the fair shows chain cooperation live in action. The interactive element of the project creates a unique trade show experience that attracts visitors.

For the successful realization of this project, we are looking for at least 8 sheet metal companies willing to contribute.

Join us!

A wide range of exhibitors can participate:

  • Welding and joining solutions
  • Cutting technology (laser, waterjet, plasma)
  • Bending, rolling and setting machines
  • Component suppliers (such as axles, wheels, suspension)
  • Assembly or mounting technology
  • Powder coating / surface treatment
  • CAD/CAM software applications for sheet metal fabrication
  • Machine builders working with sheet metal components
  • System providers for integrated solutions

Theme Square Factory of the Future

The key to an efficient and future-proof manufacturing environment is smart connectivity. Smart connectivity enables companies to optimize production processes, predict maintenance and use real-time data for strategic decisions. These innovations not only increase productivity, but also create more sustainable and flexible manufacturing processes.

The new theme plaza offers visitors in-depth insight into the latest technologies and applications that provide seamless integration of machines, software and data.

Join us!

At the theme square, we will bring together companies, knowledge institutions and software developers in the areas of:

  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
  • Applications that capture savings (fte,CO2, costs)
  • Artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications

The goal is to help companies take the next step in digital transformation and provide networking opportunities for experts and suppliers.

Sign up

After your application, a committee on behalf of the initiators will look at the relevance of the company offerings for the Innovation Square. Upon admission, a first information meeting will follow to look together at the next steps. A contribution is requested for participation.
