How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The 20th edition of SIANE took place in 2025, confirming the trade show as the benchmark industrial event of the Grand Sud. The 2024 edition brought together 583 exhibitors and over 14,000 visitors, with a stated target of 700 exhibitors and 15,000 visitors for the 2025 anniversary. The trade show has managed to broaden its offering beyond subcontracting alone towards the challenges of transformation: artificial intelligence (the AI Village), decarbonisation and the industry of the future. The 21st edition, from 13 to 15 October 2026 at the MEETT, extends this momentum on a strong regional footing, supported by the Occitanie Region and the Toulouse industrial ecosystem. For industrial subcontractors, see also the regional series SEPEM Industries Toulouse and the major national event Global Industrie.
