Industry Start-up Forum 2026

We have before us the great challenge of transforming our traditional factories into digital, automated, competitive and sustainable factories. That is why Advanced Factories is an essential event for industry professionals. In this sixth edition, industrial experiences will be the main protagonists, together with the leaders in automation, robotics, additive manufacturing and industry 4.0.

In the maelstrom of this technological revolution, start-ups must not only meet the needs of their customers but also offer some added value. And for this reason, we would like to invite you to be part of it.

Advanced Factories will host the Industry Startup Forum, a space that brings together business leaders from the sector, potential partners, investors and entrepreneurs so that they can share their innovative solutions, establish synergies and develop the most disruptive projects applied to the smart and connected factory.

Industry Start-up Forum recognises the best entrepreneurs and start-ups that are making an impact in the areas of Advanced Factories.
