Subcontratación 2025, Spain’s only dedicated subcontracting event, will be held at Bilbao Exhibition Centre from 3 to 5 June.
The show will take place as part of +INDUSTRY, a major event grouping for smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
The event has two components. In the exhibition area, everything from the most essential manufacturing processes to the most advanced technologies will be represented. In addition, from this 22nd edition onwards, the fair will host the industrial supplies sector.
In addition, at the 21st European Industrial Subcontracting Meeting, exhibitor companies will be able to hold B2B interviews with leading national and international buyers.
This business forum, organised by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, CamaraBilbao, and BEC, hosted nearly 1,000 meetings at the last event and it has grown to become the largest B2B event in Europe, with effective ad hoc interviews with buyers selected on the basis of their range of products and services.
The wide range of products and services on offer at the event will mainly attract purchasing managers, production, R&D&I and innovation managers, supply and production chain managers, technical staff, and end users from strategic sectors of the economy. These strategic sectors include aeronautics, automotive, machinery manufacturers, railways, defence, energy, transport and infrastructures, iron and steel and capital goods, among others.
In an increasingly globalised environment, industrial subcontracting, a key sector for productivity, is becoming increasingly important. Spain has a large number of SMEs in traditional and advanced sectors that together represent approximately 10% of the country's industrial GDP.
+INDUSTRY is also expanding in response to the evolution of industry and with the aim of welcoming all sectors linked to advanced manufacturing. For this reason, the 2025 event will include the new weAR automation and robotics fair: a cross-cutting event for all industries. Alongside this, +INDUSTRY's sector-by-sector format will be complemented by the AdditƐD, BeDIGITAL, Maintenance and Pumps & Valves events.
The WORKinn employment forum will again respond to the challenge of finding talent in the industry.
Subcontratación is organised by Bilbao Exhibition Centre, with the collaboration of the SPRI Group - Basque Government as Institutional Partner.
