Tech For Industry Show · 2027

Agoris analysis · updated September 2026

Key takeaways

• Tech For Industry Show is a trade show dedicated to Industry 4.0 technologies: industrial software, data and artificial intelligence, robotics, industrial IoT, cybersecurity, supply chain. It brings together software vendors, integrators and start-ups on one side, and industrial decision-makers from every sector on the other.
• Next edition: the 2nd, from Wednesday 19 to Thursday 20 May 2027, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pavilion 7. Open from 9am to 6pm on Wednesday, 9am to 5.30pm on Thursday.
• Organiser: TFIS Events, a Paris-registered SAS (simplified joint-stock company). No co-organiser. The team is the one that launched Food Hotel Tech and Tech For Retail.
• Annual frequency announced. The trade show is recent: only one edition has been held so far, on 23 and 24 June 2026, in Hall 5.2 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
• Results of this first edition: 3,900 visitors representing 953 industrial companies, 97 exhibitors including 23 start-ups, 60 conferences and more than 140 speakers.
• Access reserved for trade visitors, by badge. The 2027 ticketing had not yet opened at the time of writing.

Who exhibits

Typical profile

The trade show organises its offering into fourteen themes: advanced automation and robotics, industrial cloud, industrial connectivity and IoT (IIoT), industrial cybersecurity, data, AI and analytics, energy efficiency and sustainability, the augmented worker and augmented industry, IT/OT integration, industrial software and production management, manufacturing engineering, modularity and mass customisation, simulation and digital twins, smart operations, supply chain 4.0.

The common thread is software and data rather than machinery. Visitors come here to buy an ERP, a PLM, an MES, a digital twin platform, a predictive maintenance solution or a warehouse robot, not a press or a machining centre. Large software vendors, consultancies and integrators dominate the exhibitor list, alongside a contingent of start-ups: 23 of the 97 exhibitors in 2026 were start-ups.

Notable exhibitors

The 2026 exhibitor list remains online. It notably includes Accenture, SAP France, Dassault Systèmes, Siemens Digital Industries Software, AVEVA, IFS, Infor, Celonis, Exotec, Brother France, ABBYY, Asana and Aras, alongside more specialised companies such as 9altitudes, Velotic, Azumuta, Astriis and Adesio.

This is the list from the first edition: no exhibitor is yet shown for 2027. Requests to take part go through the Exhibit page, which points to the sales team (commercial@techforindustryshow.com).

Quality of the audience

The trade show targets decision-makers, and the 2026 results published by the organiser confirm this through the breakdown of job functions: senior management (CEOs, CFOs, IT directors, CIOs and CDOs), engineering and R&D managers, operations and production. The 3,900 visitors in 2026 represented 953 industrial companies.

The trade show is cross-sector: aerospace and defence, automotive, energy, food and drink, chemicals and logistics were all represented in 2026, and the organiser lists Renault, Safran, Michelin, Thales, Schneider Electric, Dassault Systèmes and Naval Group among the companies present. The visitor testimonials published on the homepage, selected by the organiser, all make the same point: a human-scale trade show where meeting industrial players is easy.

No OJS certification or third-party attendance audit is published: the figures are those of the organiser's own results report.

Events & community

Conference programme

The 2026 edition featured 60 conferences, keynotes and panel discussions spread across a plenary room and workshop areas. The programme was carried by the industrial leadership of major groups. Among the sessions highlighted by the organiser: the opening keynote by the chairman of Schneider Electric France, « Tech et Industrie : une alliance décisive dans la bataille mondiale » ("Tech and Industry: a decisive alliance in the global battle"); the panel discussion « Vers l'Usine Autonome – Quelle vision à 2030 ? » ("Towards the Autonomous Factory – What vision for 2030?"), hosted by Accenture with Safran, Forvia and Renault Group; the keynote « Opérations L'Oréal : Transformer la complexité en avantage durable » ("L'Oréal Operations: turning complexity into a lasting advantage"); a panel discussion on industrial defence sovereignty bringing together, among others, the Ministry of the Armed Forces, Naval Group, Thales and Saft.

Some of the 2026 sessions are available as a replay on the official website. The 2027 programme had not been published at the time of writing.

Awards and pitches

The first edition launched two awards. The Innovation Award pitted five solutions against each other in 5-minute pitches before a jury: Geminus AI, No Chain Technologies, Sensolus, Siemens Digital Industries Software and Azumuta, named winner for its front-line worker digitalisation platform. The Startup Award singled out Astriis, a specialist in vibration-analysis predictive maintenance, ahead of Adesio, Koddex, Procureezy and UserShaker; the prize earned it a full refund of its stand.

The Pitchs Innov format rounds out the line-up: 5 minutes per project on the Place des Innovations, structured around three pillars, Data & IA, Supply Chain and Smart Manufacturing. Whether the awards will return in 2027 has not yet been announced.

Guided tours

For 2027, the website announces themed guided tours designed with the trade show's Advisory Board, aimed at industrial decision-makers. The themes on offer range from the digital factory to predictive maintenance, by way of site cybersecurity, supply chain, 3D printing, intelligent robotics and reducing industry's environmental footprint. Bespoke tours are offered to industrial groups of more than five people.

Community & networks

The 2026 Advisory Board brought together representatives from GS1 France, SAP France, Axens, Groupe Renault, Optimistik, Accenture, BoostAeroSpace and Michelin.

On the institutional side, the partners shown in 2026 included French Fab, BPI, Numeum, France Digitale, CSI Collectifs Startups Industrielles France, Start Industrie and Efrei. On the press side, Robot Magazine, Supply Chain Magazine, Production Maintenance, Maddyness, Voxlog and Twin+ were among the media partners.

The organiser sums up the challenge through the words of its co-founder, Melissa Serfaty, who saw in the first edition proof of « un vrai manque sur le marché » ("a real gap in the market").

How much it costs to exhibit

Preparing your visit

For the exhibitor

• Come with industrial client case studies rather than a generic product demo: the audience is made up of senior management, operations and engineering, looking for real-world experience.
• Prepare meetings in advance, as the trade show places emphasis on one-to-one appointments.
• For a start-up, watch for the opening of entries to the awards and the Pitchs Innov: in 2026, the Startup Award winner had its stand fully refunded.
• Aim for a place on the themed guided tours, which steer groups of decision-makers towards specific solutions.
• Bear in mind how young the trade show is: only one edition held, a results report published by the organiser, and not yet a run of figures to measure a trajectory.

For the decision-making visitor

• Choose from the fourteen themes on offer and build a route: the trade show lasts only two days.
• Book a guided tour, or request a bespoke visit for groups of more than five.
• Reserve a place at the plenary room conferences, where the industrial leadership of major groups speaks.
• Watch the 2026 replays before coming, to spot the speakers and vendors worth meeting.

Policy & CSR initiatives

Sustainability features in the trade show's content: energy efficiency and sustainability are among the fourteen themes, a guided tour announced for 2027 covers reducing industry's environmental footprint, and the energy transition is one of the reasons to visit highlighted by the ticketing page.

This content should, however, be distinguished from an organisational commitment. Neither the trade show's website nor TFIS Events publishes a formal CSR policy, a carbon footprint assessment or an ISO 20121 certification specific to the event: the website has no Commitments or Sustainable Development section.

The venue, however, provides a documented framework. Viparis, the operator of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, states that it was the first events operator in the world to be certified ISO 20121 across all its sites and activity, in 2014, and has been rolling out its Better Events policy since 2018, structured around three pillars (environment, local heritage, staff engagement), with a trajectory through to 2030.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

There is not yet a trajectory to analyse, only a starting point. Announced in December 2025 for a first edition in June 2026, the trade show delivered on its launch bet: 97 exhibitors and 3,900 visitors for a first attempt, with a conference programme carried by leading industrial management. The counters shown on the website (100+ exhibitors, 4,000+ visitors) are round presentation figures; the published results report, meanwhile, gives 97 and 3,900.

Two signals are worth watching for 2027. The trade show is changing hall, from 5.2 to Pavilion 7, and moving a month earlier in the calendar, from late June to mid-May. Above all, it will need to confirm that its proposition holds up beyond the novelty effect: a decision-maker trade show lives on the quality of its meetings, and it is the second edition that will show whether the 2026 exhibitors come back.

For an industrial software vendor or an Industry 4.0 start-up, the appeal is clear: a Paris trade show centred on tech rather than machinery, where the density of decision-makers per exhibitor remains high as long as the event keeps its current size.
