Global Industrie: France’s Premier Industrial Event
Global Industrie has established itself as the essential meeting point for the French and European industrial ecosystem. Born from the convergence of four major trade fairs — Midest, Smart Industries, Industrie, and Tolexpo — it brings together the entire value chain, from startups and service providers to major prime contractors and technology suppliers.
For the 2026 edition, the event is built around a clear ambition: “Positive Industry.” It offers a unique technological showcase divided into thematic sectors covering subcontracting, additive manufacturing, robotics, digitalization, and the energy transition. With over 2,300 exhibitors expected and thousands of machines in operation, the event provides a concrete immersion into the factory of the future.
Highlights of the 2026 Edition
- The Booster: A one-stop shop dedicated to financing, innovation, and strategic support for SMEs and mid-cap companies.
- The Digital Technologies Village: A space focused on industrial AI, cybersecurity, digital twins, and 5G connectivity.
- The ARENA: A hub dedicated to interaction between young talent and industry leaders to address recruitment and training challenges, notably hosting the Golden Tech professional excellence competition.
A Crossroads for Innovation and Strategy
Beyond commercial transactions, Global Industrie is a center for strategic reflection. The “Main Stage” and TV sets will host hundreds of conferences focused on industrial sovereignty and decarbonization. By rewarding innovation through the Global Industrie Awards, the show remains the primary showcase for French and European industrial excellence, attracting nearly 45,000 professional visitors.
