Expoquimia Barcelona

Expoquimia is one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for industrial chemistry and applied process engineering. It is specifically aimed at professionals seeking practical solutions for production, research and innovation.

The event takes place at the modern Fira de Barcelona in Barcelona and is held every three years.

Expoquimia is organised by Fira de Barcelona, one of Europe’s foremost exhibition organisers with decades of experience in staging international trade fairs and congresses. The event covers an exceptionally broad range of sectors, from basic, fine and speciality chemicals to pharmaceutical process engineering, as well as advanced materials, composites and biotechnological applications.

This offering is complemented by key enabling technologies such as pumps, valves, instrumentation and control systems, automation solutions, thermal processes, and industrial machinery and capital equipment. Forward-looking areas such as environmental technology, waste management and sustainable production processes are also strongly represented, reflecting the sector’s ongoing transformation.

What sets Expoquimia apart is its focus not only on products, but on real-world applications and scalable solutions to industrial challenges. Companies from the chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental and engineering industries showcase their latest developments, while research and development centres actively promote technology transfer.

Visitors primarily include decision-makers, engineers, procurement specialists, scientists and innovation managers seeking partnerships, investment opportunities and market-ready technologies.

A key highlight of the event is its programme of accompanying congresses, specialist forums and innovation initiatives, where current topics such as digitalisation, green chemistry and the circular economy are explored.

The Fira de Barcelona venue is exceptionally well connected—both via the international airport and through an efficient network of metro, rail and road links. As a result, Expoquimia serves not only as a meeting point for the chemical industry, but as a strategic hub where science, industry and future technologies converge at a high level.

The Expoquimia in Barcelona took place from Tuesday, 02. June to Friday, 05. June 2026.
