BIEMH 2028: Everything you need to know to start preparing your participation as an exhibitor

Are you considering participating in a major industrial fair in 2028? If your company is part of the world of machine tools, automation, robotics, or advanced manufacturing, BIEMH 2028 (International Machine Tool Biennial) is once again a strategic event. From Servis, we explain why this event should be on your radar now if you want to gain visibility, generate quality contacts, and stand out with a professional stand in a highly competitive environment.

What is BIEMH 2028 and why is it so relevant?

BIEMH is a biennial event and one of the major European meeting points for machine tools and advanced manufacturing. It is organized by the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) together with AFM, Machine Tool Manufacturers and AIMHE, Machine Tools Importers, with institutional support from entities such as the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and SPRI – Basque Government.

In each edition, the fair brings together manufacturers, distributors, technology integrators, industrial SMEs, and professional buyers looking for solutions to improve production processes, automate operations, and anticipate sector trends.

After a BIEMH 2026 marked by the strength of advanced manufacturing and international presence, the next edition will be held from March 6 to 10, 2028 at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre.

Confirmed dates: BIEMH returns in March 2028

BIEMH 2028 will be held from March 6 to 10, 2028 at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre. The organization thus maintains March’s positioning as a key moment to open the international calendar of industrial fairs and connect with buyers who are defining investments for the year.

For exhibiting companies, preparing their participation in advance will be especially important: BIEMH occupies a large-capacity venue, hosts large-format machinery, and requires precise technical planning for the stand to function both commercially and operationally.

A fair where industrial technology is seen in action

BIEMH stands out for showcasing large machines in operation, real manufacturing processes, automation, robotics, tools, components, metrology, and digital solutions applied to industry. For an exhibitor, this means competing in an environment where the product is demonstrated live and where the stand must be prepared to explain, attract, and convert.

In the 2026 edition, the event occupied all six BEC pavilions and presented more than 3,350 innovative products. In addition, the program incorporated activities such as Innovation Workshops, Innovation Awards, BIEMH Tours, and spaces linked to industrial talent, a combination that reinforces the value of the fair beyond the commercial exhibition.

Machine tools and advanced manufacturing: main core of the event.
Automation, robotics, and digitalization: areas with growing prominence.
Talent, innovation, and networking: complementary formats that expand contact opportunities.

Why should you consider exhibiting at BIEMH 2028?

Exhibiting at BIEMH 2028 can be a strategic decision for companies that want to strengthen their presence in the industrial sector, present technological solutions, and generate business relationships with high-value profiles. The last closed edition brought together 39,063 professional visitors and 1,543 exhibiting companies, with representation from nearly 65 countries.

Companies attending BIEMH usually do so to:

Present machinery, technology, and industrial innovations in a specialized environment.
Strengthen brand awareness among buyers, distributors, integrators, and technical managers.
Create business opportunities with national and international visitors.
Demonstrate products live and explain complex processes visually.
Position themselves within the European advanced manufacturing ecosystem.

If your company needs to stand out among industrial manufacturers and suppliers, stand design will be a key element to organize the message, attract qualified traffic, and facilitate business conversations.

First steps to prepare your participation in BIEMH 2028

BIEMH is a fair with high technical demands, especially for companies exhibiting machinery, live demonstrations, or complex industrial solutions. Therefore, the sooner you start preparing your presence at BIEMH 2028, the more room you will have to make good decisions.

Define your objectives: decide if you aim to capture leads, launch products, strengthen your brand, find distributors, or retain customers.
Request commercial information in advance: the best locations are often assigned early, and it’s advisable to review space, technical needs, and participation conditions.
Plan the stand from an operational perspective: machinery, demonstrations, meeting points, storage, audiovisuals, and traffic flow must fit together from the start.
Prepare your pre-show communication: activate campaigns, schedule meetings, and communicate news before the fair begins.
Train your team: everyone should know the value proposition, key messages, and visitor engagement flow.

Conclusion: prepare for BIEMH 2028 with a clear strategy

Participating in BIEMH 2028 is not just about reserving exhibition space. It’s an opportunity to showcase technology, build trust, and open business conversations in one of Europe’s most relevant industrial environments.
