Trade fairs and events

Welcome to the World’s Leading Trade Fair

The international trade fair Motek, which takes place in Stuttgart from 07.10.2019 – 10.10.2019, is the world’s leading event in the fields of production and assembly automation, feed technology and material flow, streamlining through handling technology, and industrial handling. As such, Motek is the only trade fair to clearly focus on all aspects of mechanical engineering and automation and on the presentation of entire process chains. The consistent target-group orientation is one of Motek’s secrets of success. Focal target groups include automotive, machinery and equipment manufacturing, the electrical and electronics industries, medical engineering and solar production, as well as metal and plastic processing companies in general and their suppliers.

The main topic of MSV is Industry 4.0 and Digital Factory, meaning digitisation of manufacturing, one of the main directions of the innovation process. The highlighted topic of the ENVITECH trade fair is Circular Economy – Managing Material Resources. It is a trend that is one of the priority areas of sustainable development and the adaptation of industry and trade will go right in this direction. In 2019, we will also focus on investment opportunities, i.e. start-up projects, new ideas, and innovation as an opportunity for investment.
