BIEMH will hold its 30th edition with new spaces, products and exhibitors.
Faced with a more demanding market, the event's commitment to bringing new business models to strategic sectors of the economy, such as the automotive, aeronautical, energy or capital goods sectors is set out in its main message, which is also a direct invitation to companies to position themselves at the forefront of change: “BE IN, BIEMH”.
Over five days, from 28th May to 1st June 2018, participants in BIEMH will be able to address the new paradigms raised by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with numerous solutions for resource optimisation, product personalisation, optimistic perspectives and growth.
BIEMH 2018 will incorporate a new space, BE DIGITAL, devoted to the digital transformation of machines and the whole manufacturing process, which is essential in order to compete in international markets and offer a better product or service.
The conference-exhibition will address the great challenges faced in the management of big data, cyber-security, Internet of Things or software solutions for automation, among many other aspects. In parallel, the third edition of ADDIT3D will be held. Additive and 3D manufacturing have become a central theme amongst experts in production and it is an essential complementary technology for the machine-tool industry, and it is growing exponentially.
"Today, technology undoubtedly enables unprecedented levels of competitiveness and profitability to be reached", has highlighted Xabier Basañez, General Manager of Bilbao Exhibition Centre, adding that the "30th edition of BIEMH will probably be one of the most ambitious of its history, facilitated by the recovery of the industrial production and consumption market".
In this respect, a change in trend was noticed in 2016 with 13% more visitors and orders in all sectors. In total, 1,533 exhibitors participated in the fair, which was attended by 40,000 visitors. In line with this positive evolution, this year's exhibitors marketing campaign is recording significant growth compared with the same period in 2016 and the number of repeating companies is also high, which are namely representatives of the event's leading sectors: machinery, process automation, tools and components and metrology.
