MECSPE (Bologna Industrial Manufacturing Exhibition)MECSPE

MECSPE (Bologna Industrial Manufacturing Exhibition), a premier event in the European manufacturing sector, attracted 66,573 visitors and gathered over 2,100 exhibitors across 13 themed zones. MECSPE serves not only as a networking platform for industry professionals but also as a vital stage for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and driving digital and ecological transitions.

With a more global perspective, the event will guide Italian enterprises toward domestic and international growth. Entrepreneurs will explore the pillars of modern industry—innovation, training, and sustainability—through exhibition and demonstration routes, offering an "immersive" experience of manufacturing. This journey will propel both visitors and exhibitors toward Industry 5.0 and human-centric manufacturing.

Over the years, MECSPE has become increasingly international, reflecting Italy's role on the European and global stages and attracting buyers from around the world. According to ISTAT (Italian National Institute of Statistics), Italy, like Germany, boasts a manufacturing-driven production system, with over one-third of the value added by industrial and service enterprises stemming from manufacturing. Exports play a crucial role: excluding micro-enterprises, over 50% of small enterprises are active in foreign markets, a figure that exceeds 90% for medium and large enterprises. Germany, the United States, France, and Spain are Italy's main trading partners.

MECSPE will spotlight a new core exhibition, "Energy Transition and Sustainability in Manufacturing," dedicated to addressing highly sensitive industry issues. Through exhibitor demonstrations, panel discussions, and keynote speeches, the event will delve into critical topics impacting manufacturing and the hydrogen supply chain. MECSPE looks forward to welcoming you to jointly witness the innovation and future development of the manufacturing sector!
