How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

SEPEM Angers has, in just a few editions, established itself as the reference industrial gathering of the Grand Ouest. The 2023 edition brought together 5,370 visitors, and the 2025 edition (9th) confirmed the momentum with around 450 exhibitors announced and a high turnover rate (43% first-time participants announced). A proximity trade show by design, it draws on a strong regional anchoring. The 10th edition, from 12 to 14 October 2027, extends this positioning around the rising themes of industry: maintenance 4.0, artificial intelligence and decarbonisation. SEPEM Angers is part of the national network of SEPEM regional trade shows operated by GL events (SEPEM Toulouse, SEPEM Grenoble, SEPEM Colmar, SEPEM Douai).
