SIM show to come calling in Maastricht in 2023

On 25 and 26 April 2023, industry leaders from Europe will gather at MECC Maastricht for the Sustainable Industrial Manufacturing (SIM) Europe trade fair.

Organised by Quartz Business Media, the event brings together market leaders from hard-to-abate industries to help them in their path to reach their Net Zero goals and sustainability commitments.

SIM is a series of regional events and conferences that support and guide the transition to cleaner production on a global level. The exhibition’s previous edition was held in Brussels in June 2022.

Heavy industry accounts for 30% of CO2 emissions and, says SIME event director José Sebastião, “Time is running out and it is high time for heavy industry to take action against an ‘irreversible’ climate crisis. Maastricht is the oldest industrial city in the Netherlands, located within walking distance of Belgium and cycling distance of Germany. We are delighted to be able to organise the next SIM Europe in Maastricht.”

“We are proud to host SIM Europe, an event that is actively committed to improving sustainability in major manufacturing sectors,” adds Frank Mimpen (pictured), MECC Maastricht commercial director.

Sustainable Industrial Manufacturing offers innovative frontrunners in cleaner industrial manufacturing the opportunity to present sustainable solutions to business leaders from five hard-to-reduce sectors (glass, steel, aluminium, cement and chemicals). SIM has an audience of 85,000 production professionals around the world who bring their clients together in a different city each year.
