Maintenance is a leading international trade fair for industrial maintenance and a key event within the +INDUSTRY platform. In Spain, the fair takes place at the prestigious Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Barakaldo – near the vibrant city of Bilbao. Every two years, this modern exhibition venue becomes a central meeting point for professionals from industry, engineering, and service sectors.

The event is organized by the Bilbao Exhibition Centre itself – one of Spain’s foremost trade fair organizers.

What sets “Maintenance” apart is its clear focus on industrial maintenance in the era of Industry 5.0. The fair serves not only as a platform for presenting innovative products but also as a driver of fresh ideas and developments within the sector.

Key topics include human-centered maintenance concepts, the ethical use of artificial intelligence, and sustainable maintenance solutions. The event also explores robotics, digital twins for real-time monitoring, and metaverse technologies. It highlights how IoT and predictive analytics can enhance the resilience of industrial systems – a forward-looking approach to modern asset management. Strategic trends such as resilient management, agile processes, and performance-based maintenance strategies are also showcased through practical examples.

The exhibition covers a broad range of areas including measurement and control technology, lubrication and maintenance solutions, service management software, and industrial safety systems. The offering is further complemented by engineering services, environmental technologies, facility management, and occupational safety. Companies from industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive, energy, chemicals, and food processing present their latest innovations – reflecting the diversity of industrial value creation.

The professional audience primarily consists of decision-makers and experts in maintenance, engineering, production, and operations management. They use the fair as a platform for networking, continuing education, and targeted business development. Additional value is provided by an extensive supporting program featuring expert talks, workshops, and discussion forums.

Barakaldo is exceptionally well-connected and part of the Bilbao metropolitan area, which boasts an international airport, high-speed rail links, and a well-developed public transport network.
