The MSV 2026 trade fair will take place from 6 to 9 October 2026 at the Brno Exhibition Centre in the Czech Republic. Regarded as Central Europe’s leading industrial trade fair, MSV is a key event for the mechanical and electrical engineering sectors. With more than 1,300 exhibiting companies from 42 countries and over 55,000 visitors, the event attracts a highly professional audience, largely consisting of decision-makers and senior managers involved in industrial investment processes.

MSV provides a comprehensive overview of the latest technological innovations for manufacturing. The event is aimed at small, medium-sized and large companies and represents a strategic opportunity to develop new business opportunities. For the metalworking industry, it provides an ideal setting for exploring solutions for precision machining, industrial automation and production process optimisation. In these areas, technologies such as bar feeders and high-pressure systems play a key role in increasing productivity and reliability on multi-spindle and single-spindle lathes.

Key themes of the 2026 edition include energy transformation and industrial digitalisation. The Digital Factory 2.0 area will focus on the practical application of artificial intelligence, autonomous machines and blockchain solutions integrated into manufacturing environments. At the same time, the focus on energy and the DEFENCEO conference will highlight the connections between manufacturing, security and strategic supply chains.

The co-location with specialised trade fairs such as IMT, FOND-EX, WELDING, PLASTEX and PROFINTECH further expands the exhibition offering, fostering synergies between machining technologies, surface treatments and material processing. MSV 2026 thus confirms its role as an international industrial hub connecting technology, expertise and investment.

Against a European backdrop increasingly focused on competitiveness and the digital transition, MSV provides a unique vantage point from which to observe developments in the manufacturing sector and the solutions that will shape the future of industry.
