+INDUSTRY Bilbao Barakaldo

+INDUSTRY is Spain’s leading trade fair for industrial innovation and advanced manufacturing technologies. Its name symbolizes the added value (“+”) and diversity it brings to the industrial sector – a plus in knowledge, technology, and business opportunities. The event is organized by the renowned Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC), located in the modern exhibition complex in Barakaldo, near Bilbao, in the industrial heart of the Basque Country. Every two years, the BEC becomes an international hub for smart manufacturing, automation, and digital transformation.

+INDUSTRY brings together several specialized trade fairs under one roof – including BeDIGITAL, Addit3D, Subcontratación, Maintenance, Pumps & Valves, weAR, and the WORKinn Talent Hub – creating a platform that comprehensively covers the entire industrial value chain, both thematically and technologically. Exhibits showcase solutions across a wide range of sectors, including additive manufacturing, industrial maintenance, pump and valve technology, automation, robotics, and digital applications for Industry 4.0. The spectrum extends from high-precision machinery and intelligent software to comprehensive services for production, maintenance, and workforce development.

The trade fair stands out not only for its in-depth content and technological breadth but also for its clear focus on innovation, collaboration, and talent development. It serves as a key meeting point for decision-makers, engineers, technicians, buyers, and innovation leaders from sectors such as mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, energy, chemicals, and industrial supply. A particular highlight is the "European Industrial Subcontracting Meeting", which enhances the Subcontratación section with targeted networking and cooperation opportunities. The WORKinn Talent Hub further enriches the fair as a career platform, featuring innovative formats to attract young talent and secure skilled professionals for the future.

The Bilbao region has long been recognized as Spain’s industrial powerhouse and stands as a prime example of the shift from heavy industry to high-tech manufacturing. The Bilbao Exhibition Centre itself offers state-of-the-art infrastructure, expansive exhibition space, and excellent connectivity – via Bilbao’s international airport, a well-developed road network, and efficient public transport.

With its blend of technical expertise, strategic networking, and innovative energy, +INDUSTRY is a key event for everyone looking to actively shape the future of industry.

The +INDUSTRY Bilbao takes place biennially, and therefore for the twenty-fifth time previsibly in June 2027 in Barakaldo.
