+INDUSTRY 2027 will have seven concurrent trade fairs set Bilbao for February event

The Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) is preparing a new edition of +INDUSTRY for February 2027, bringing together seven concurrent trade fairs under one roof in what organizers position as the leading advanced manufacturing event on the European calendar at the start of the year.

Scheduled for 23 to 25 February 2027, the event will bring together exhibitors and visitors from automation and robotics, digitalization, industrial maintenance, pumps and valves, additive manufacturing, and industrial subcontracting. The seven shows running in parallel are Addit3D, BeDIGITAL, Maintenance, Pumps & Valves, Subcontracting, WeAR, and the WORKinn Talent Hub employment forum.

BEC’s decision to hold the event in February reflects a deliberate calendar strategy. By staging +INDUSTRY at the opening of the industrial year, the organizers aim to give exhibiting companies an early window to present their offerings and generate leads before competing events while allowing buyers and technical professionals to identify suppliers and advance procurement decisions ahead of mid-year budget cycles.

Target visitors include engineers, technical managers, and executives from sectors such as automotive, shipbuilding, aeronautics, defense, energy, steel, petrochemical, and food processing.

The 2025 edition of +INDUSTRY drew 12,100 attendees from 47 countries alongside 873 exhibiting companies. Marketing activity for the 2027 edition is already underway, with outreach campaigns running in Germany, Italy, and France. +INDUSTRY 2027 is organized by the Bilbao Exhibition Centre with institutional support from SPRI—Basque Government and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia.
