Developers meet users – precision meets innovation: networking and new business with key contacts from the international high-tech scene.
The W3+ Fair connects developers with users: The optics, photonics, electronics, and mechanics industries meet at the trade fair with the key user areas of MedTech, Semiconductors, Life Sciences, Automotive, Aerospace, AI + Robotics, Security + Defense, Consumer Electronics, and Tools/Machinery. Together, you’ll develop cross-industry innovations and thus gain important competitive advantages. The compact, networking-oriented event concept makes it easy to connect.
Organizer Fleet Events invites more than 10,000 vetted contacts from the user industries to the events. Exhibitors, partners, and sponsors who present their products and services at the trade fair benefit from this first-class approach both before and during the show.
The W3+ Fair takes place at established production sites in the future-oriented industries of optics, photonics, electronics, and mechanics. This guarantees an environment of top-level exhibitors and visitors, concentrated on-site expertise, and personal contact with many local (global market) companies.
Exhibitors at the W3+ Fair consistently attest to the high quality of the event’s visitors. In 2019, 2,783 experts attended the industry gathering in Wetzlar. 21 percent came from abroad—and the trend is rising!
Top topics and market trends that are driving the industry, as well as the sophisticated presentation program with experienced speakers and keynote speakers, add value to the trade fair. Free access to best-practice examples and top-notch knowledge transfer is available.
