Strong booking figures for VISION 2026
Vision Show Stuttgart. International synergies promised from technology trade fairs taking place this autumn from 6 to 8 October 2026 in Stuttgart
VISION 2026, the world’s leading trade fair for machine vision, is already off to a promising start: six months before the event is even set to begin and final bookings have been taken for more than 85 % of the exhibition space available. This strong demand serves to emphasise the relevance of the trade fair for the industry. The percentage of international guests is also particularly impressive: companies and trade visitors from more than 65 countries are expected in Stuttgart later this year, with VISION setting the standard as a global forum for innovation and networking.
The success story continues: VISION alongside Motek once again
VISION will again be taking place alongside the traditional trade fair partnership of Motek and Bondexpo. Motek, the international trade fair for automation in production and assembly, and Bondexpo, the international trade fair for bonding technology, will be taking place for the 43rd and 18th time respectively, joining forces with VISION to create productive synergy effects on the trade fair grounds. “With this parallel approach taken by VISION and Motek/Bondexpo, we are creating a platform that opens up promising opportunities for both visitors and exhibitors. Truly valuable synergies will be created between this machine vision hot spot and one of the leading automation trade fairs, transforming Stuttgart into an innovative technological hub at the beginning of October,” explains Sebastian Esswein, Vice President of Messe Stuttgart.
Bettina Schall, Managing Director of P. E. Schall which is organising Motek/Bondexpo, sees major opportunities here: “The collaboration of VISION and Motek/Bondexpo is a win for both industries. Two leading trade fairs, each providing highly relevant, practical content for everyday industrial application and therefore complementing each other perfectly. Our visitors and exhibitors gain from short communication channels, new business contacts and inspirational exchange. Resulting in key incentives for the entire industry.”
Technology quartet this autumn: four trade fairs, one ticket
EFX, the Expo for Electronics Manufacturing, and Quantum Effects will also be taking place alongside VISION and Motek. EFX is the new industry event for electronics manufacturing and showcases the trends and technologies for the production of electronic components. Quantum Effects, the trade fair and conference for quantum technologies, bridges the gap between science, startups and business. It shines a light on Europe’s innovative quantum technologies and promotes the development of a European ecosystem.
Significance for the region and international competition
Four top-quality technology trade fairs taking place during one big event in Stuttgart is providing the entire region with a valuable boost and strengthening its international standing. With the bundling of four trade fairs in one location, Stuttgart will be attracting decision-makers, developers and visionaries from all over the world. With one ticket providing access to all four events, visitors are also set to benefit from the synergies created and the chance to explore an entire spectrum of innovative ideas and solutions.
Don’t risk missing out
With few places remaining, companies interested in being part of VISION need to act now: anyone looking to participate in the most important technology trade fair this autumn shouldn’t delay in securing their spot and benefitting from such an international and uniquely synergetic event.
