movatec Dornbirn

“movatec” in Dornbirn positions itself as a highly focused trade fair for logistics and automation, purposefully connecting companies from industry, manufacturing, commerce and production to create a unique platform for practical innovation and strategic business networking. Organised by Messe Dornbirn GmbH, the event is exclusively aimed at trade visitors and consistently targets decision-makers seeking concrete solutions to enhance efficiency, drive digital transformation and automate their logistics operations.

The exhibition takes place at the Messe Dornbirn exhibition centre and is conceived as a new specialist logistics event in western Austria. It deliberately leverages the economic strength of the Lake Constance region, characterised by a high concentration of industry and short distances between the markets of western Austria, southern Germany, eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein. This strategic location gives the fair a broad regional reach and positions movatec as an international industry platform within the German-speaking four-country region.

In terms of content, “movatec” focuses on highly specific areas relating to modern logistics solutions. These include IT-driven supply chain concepts, big data applications, software and hardware solutions, as well as the use of artificial intelligence and automated warehousing and production processes. Visitors experience a consistently hands-on presentation of technologies that directly contribute to operational efficiency and competitiveness. This clear thematic focus makes the fair particularly valuable for trade professionals, as it allows them not only to explore innovations but also to assess them in detail through direct dialogue with suppliers and industry experts.

A distinctive feature of “movatec” is its structured exhibition concept with two compact show days, specifically designed to enable intensive face-to-face marketing and high-quality lead generation. The programme is complemented by a presentation area for partners, media representatives and industry associations, creating a supporting agenda that combines knowledge transfer with networking opportunities. A highlight is the premium networking event on the first evening of the fair, which begins with a keynote by an economic expert and subsequently provides space for in-depth discussions between logistics real estate providers, political stakeholders, financial institutions and major project developers.

Visitors are offered clearly structured added value: pre-configured exhibition stands, central coffee lounges with all-day catering, and an environment deliberately designed to facilitate efficient communication and informal exchange. This all-inclusive concept creates a professional atmosphere in which technological trends, concrete investment decisions and strategic partnerships can be brought together within a short timeframe.

The target audience primarily consists of managing directors, logistics and production managers, procurement and IT decision-makers, as well as specialists in automation and process optimisation. The fair therefore addresses a highly influential professional audience actively seeking solutions to keep warehousing, procurement and production logistics technologically up to date.

The venue itself offers modern infrastructure and excellent accessibility. The Messequartier Dornbirn comprises several multifunctional halls and around 3,000 parking spaces in close proximity, ensuring convenient arrival by car. Thanks to its central location in the Rhine Valley region of Vorarlberg and its proximity to major international transport routes, visitors also benefit from short travel distances and a wide range of nearby hotel options.

The movatec will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 23. September to Thursday, 24. September 2026 in Dornbirn.
