The eighth edition of Global Industrie will be held from 30 March-2 April 2026 in Paris( France), reaffirming its position as a major European industrial event. Global Industrie is France’ s largest industrial gathering. Each year, it brings together over 60,000 professionals, 2,500 exhibiting companies, 750 speakers and thousands of operating machines.
“ A true catalyst for ideas, innovation and cooperation, this major event brings
together all key industry players— manufacturers, regions, federations, associations and economic and political leaders— for four days of inspiration, dialogue and action to shape the industry of tomorrow. Across 14 complementary sectors, Global Industrie will spotlight the interconnections between industrial technologies, creativity and the‘ Made in France’ movement,” said event organiser, GL Events Exhibitions Industries.
“’ Let’ s promote a positive outlook on industry!’ That will be the key theme of the 2026 edition, which( while acknowledging the challenges faced by the sector) aims to shed light on the positive actions undertaken by companies, such as the modernisation of industrial tools across several sectors, decarbonisation, youth employment and gender diversity,” said Sébastien Gillet, Managing Director, GL Events Exhibitions Industries.
2026 event highlights will include a new Booster Area, designed to guide manufacturers towards“ immediately actionable solutions.” Its goal is to connect visitors with the right partners, identify quick responses to strategic challenges and provide personalised support. The area will also feature short workshops, specialist meetings and dedicated stands.
“ At the heart of this set-up, a central hub will offer a guided pathway and a mapping of key players according to companies’ needs— research, funding / investment, international development, skills and consultancy— structured around five thematic clusters within the‘ Booster’ space. Surrounding this hub, twenty startups will showcase operational solutions addressing current industrial transformation challenges. They will be selected in November 2025, following a call for expressions of interest,” confirmed the show organiser.
A Digital Technologies Village will host companies offering solutions in AI; 5G; cybersecurity; data; edge cloud and digital twins. It will spotlight technologies transforming machine control; data collection; automation; data analysis and optimisation, and security enhancement.
“ After a successful debut in Lyon, the‘ Entrepôt Connecté’ by GI will invite visitors to the Paris event to experience a‘ warehouse of the future’, where technology revolutionises logistics and handling. The exhibition will feature optimised workstations for order preparation, tools to
visualise real-time performance indicators and solutions to improve ergonomics and workplace safety. A special area will also showcase the latest innovations in robotics and logistics that are shaping the factories and warehouses of the future,” concluded the show organiser. n
