Manufacturing and automation events set for Germany in 2026

Major industrial and manufacturing events are scheduled for October 2026 in Germany. In Stuttgart, the Motek and Bondexpo trade fairs will expand their platform by integrating the Vision trade fair, alongside EFX (electronics manufacturing) and Quantum Effects (quantum technologies). This combined event aims to provide a comprehensive look at industrial production technology, automation, and image processing.

In Munich, Redzone, a manufacturing software company owned by QAD, will host its first European edition of the ‘Champions of Manufacturing’ conference on October 8-9, 2026. The move is intended to support the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) in closing a digital gap, as regional digitalization and AI adoption rates in production currently lag behind global averages. Redzone aims to address challenges such as skilled labor shortages and rising costs through increased productivity via software solutions.
