IN.STAND Stuttgart

IN.STAND is a trade fair dedicated to industrial maintenance and services. Since its inception in 2019, it has been held biennially at the Landesmesse Stuttgart exhibition center. The name "IN.STAND" symbolically reflects the core theme of the event: everything that keeps machines, equipment, and technical systems up and running – through maintenance, repair, optimization, or modernization. As a platform for forward-thinking solutions, the event has quickly established itself as a key industry meeting point in southern Germany.

Organized by Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH, IN.STAND covers a broad range of topics – from proven maintenance technologies to cutting-edge digital applications such as AI-driven predictive maintenance, smart diagnostic tools, and retrofit strategies. The hands-on supporting program includes interactive service points, topic-specific guided tours, and the expert forum “Maintenance” – organized in cooperation with Pilz. Central topics include the EU Machinery Regulation, safety technologies, artificial intelligence, and sustainable lifecycle strategies.

Stuttgart is one of Europe’s leading industrial hubs. Companies from sectors such as mechanical and plant engineering, automotive, electrical engineering, energy, aerospace, and process industries rely on state-of-the-art maintenance solutions. This close connection to industry makes the trade fair especially relevant for decision-makers, operations and production managers, maintenance engineers, safety officers, and procurement professionals from across the DACH region.

As a showcase for service providers, manufacturers, and software vendors, IN.STAND presents the entire spectrum – from consulting, training, and maintenance to dismantling concepts and digitally integrated maintenance strategies supported by real-time data and AI. Its precise focus on the entire maintenance chain – from spare parts management to sustainable equipment modernization – is what sets IN.STAND apart.

The Messe Stuttgart venue offers a prime location with direct access to the airport and excellent motorway connections. This makes IN.STAND not only a content-rich event, but also a logistically convenient one – providing ideal conditions for a successful trade fair experience for both national and international visitors.

The IN.STAND will take place on 5 days from Tuesday, 15. September to Saturday, 19. September 2026 in Stuttgart.
