Micronora is the European trade fair for microtechnologies, precision engineering and micro-nanotechnologies. The 2026 edition was held from September 29 to October 2 at the Micropolis exhibition center in Besançon. As the trade fair is biennial, the next edition is announced for September 29 to October 2, 2028 (to be confirmed).

Micronora: industrial precision at the rendezvous

Founded in 1969, the trade fair grew out of the watchmaking industry of Franche-Comté and today covers R&D, subcontracting and production technologies for the aerospace, defense, medical, luxury goods and telecommunications sectors.

The 2026 edition featured over 800 exhibitors, approximately one-third of whom were international, with some 12,000 professional visitors expected from over 40 countries and 25,000 m² of exhibition space.

Besançon and Micropolis: a trade fair at the heart of the Jura Arc

Besançon is a city of microtechnology and watchmaking, close to Switzerland. The Micropolis exhibition center is a human-scale venue, where stands must stand out through their readability.

With our workshops in France and our teams in Lyon and Paris, transport is straightforward and installation is fully controlled. The delivery schedule and access times must be validated with the organizer.

Precision industry stands: our approach

Visitors are engineers and technical buyers. The stand must showcase precision: carefully lit display cases for parts, demonstrations of machines or components, and quiet meeting areas for discussing technical specifications.

Tips for exhibiting at Micronora

• Illuminate your parts: lighting up the display cases highlights the quality of the machining.

• Prepare demonstrations: a machine or a component in action is more convincing than a brochure.

• Plan for quiet meeting areas: technical discussions require an isolated space.

• Plan for the long term: as the trade fair is biennial, use the interval to prepare a reusable stand.
