BEST REASONS FOR PARTICIPATION

Developers meet users – precision meets innovation: networking and new business with key contacts from the international high-tech scene.

Competitive advantages through an innovative trade fair concept

The W3+ Fair connects developers with users: The optics, photonics, electronics and mechanics sectors meet the key user sectors of MedTech, Semiconductors, Life Science, Automotive, Aerospace, AI + Robotics, Security + Defense, Consumer Electronics and Tools/Machinery at the trade fair. Together, you will develop cross-industry innovations and thus gain important competitive advantages. The compact, networking-oriented event concept makes it easy to make contacts.

More than 10,000 contacts

Organizer Fleet Events invites more than 10,000 verified contacts from the user industries to the events. Exhibitors, partners and sponsors who present their products and services at the trade fair benefit from the top-level approach in the run-up to and at the trade fair.

At central locations of the high-tech industries

The W3+ Fair takes place at established production sites in the industries of the future: Optics, photonics, electronics and mechanics. This guarantees an environment of top-level exhibitors and visitors, concentrated know-how on site and personal contact with many local (world market) companies.

High quality of participants

The exhibitors at the W3+ Fair attest to the consistently high quality of visitors to the event. In 2019, 2,783 professionals came to the industry get-together in Wetzlar. 21 percent came from abroad – and the trend is rising!

Cutting-edge knowledge through a first-class supporting program

Top topics and market trends that move the industries and the sophisticated lecture program with experienced speakers and key note speakers create added value to the trade fair. Best-practice examples and top-class knowledge transfer are provided free of charge.

Voices about the fair

“W3+ FAIR has developed into a ‘standard trade fair’ in the optics sector within a short period of time. As a manufacturer of precision optics, MPO can hardly afford not to be represented at this efficiently designed trade fair with a highly qualified range of visitors.”

“For us, the W3+ FAIR is a must. We have been there from the beginning and meet many important contacts of the German optics cluster here in two days. Mass is not important to us, we want class – so we’re in the right place here.”

“The small but fine trade fair for precision technology.”

“The fair brought me many new and good contacts with renowned companies. It is enormously important for a start-up company like mine to show my 3D printing services to the professional audience.”

“W3+ is a good fair that closes the gap to Optatec and Laser.”

“The exhibitors confirm the quality of the contacts for networking, partnerships and new business. This is exactly what W3+ FAIR stands for.”
