BIEMH 2026: Everything you need to know to start preparing for your participation as an exhibitor

Thinking about taking part in a major industrial trade show in 2026? If your company is involved in machine tools, automation, or advanced manufacturing, BIEMH 2026 (the International Machine Tool Biennial) is an event you definitely shouldn’t miss. At Servis, we’re here to show you why this show should already be on your radar if you’re looking to boost your visibility, connect with high-value contacts, and stand out with a booth that truly makes an impact.

What is BIEMH 2026 and why is it such a big deal?

BIEMH is a biennial event, meaning it takes place every two years. It’s organized by the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) in collaboration with AFM (Advanced Manufacturing Technologies) and AIMHE (the Association of Machine Tool Importers). The event also receives institutional support from the Basque Government through SPRI.

Each edition brings together leading companies, innovative SMEs, technology integrators, and industrial equipment manufacturers looking to showcase their solutions to a professional, highly technical audience with real decision-making power.

The theme for the 2026 edition is “CARPE BIEMH” — a call to seize every opportunity this major industrial meeting point has to offer.

Confirmed dates: a stronger edition than ever

BIEMH 2026 will take place from March 2 to 6, 2026, kicking off the international calendar of industrial trade shows. This timing is key—being the first major event of the year means it draws the attention of buyers and investors eager to get ahead of market trends.

In addition, parallel events will be held, such as Addit3D, focused on additive manufacturing, and BeDIGITAL, dedicated to the digital transformation of industry. These events further expand the visitor profile and boost networking across different areas of the industrial ecosystem.

A trade show where technology comes to life

Unlike other trade shows, BIEMH is known for its ability to showcase large machines in action and real manufacturing processes. It’s a space where theory gives way to practice, and where exhibitors can demonstrate the value of their products in real time.

The show also shares the venue with complementary events such as:

Addit3D: focused on additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
BeDIGITAL: which explores the digital transformation of industry.
WORKinn Talent Hub: a space dedicated to young talent and employability within the industrial sector.

Why should you consider exhibiting?

Even if you’ve never exhibited before, BIEMH 2026 is the perfect time to take the leap. Companies that attend this trade show do so to:

Strengthen their presence in the industry.
Showcase new technologies.
Connect with current and potential clients.
Establish agreements with distributors and integrators.
Position their brand within the European industrial landscape.

BIEMH is also an excellent gateway to international markets, thanks to the high number of foreign professionals in attendance and the buyer programs organized by the event.
