Dates and venue for Automotive Testing Expo 2026
The event occupies Messe Stuttgart across three days from 23 to 25 June. The venue places attendees close to a dense cluster of engineering suppliers and test facilities serving the European automotive industry.
Sectors and company profiles on site
Automotive Testing Expo 2026 gathers suppliers of test benches, measurement instrumentation, diagnostics vendors, and systems integrators. Attending companies typically work on chassis dynamics, powertrain validation, NVH testing and software validation for control systems.
How to prepare B2B prospecting in Stuttgart
Identify target companies and the exact decision units you need to reach. Prepare one-page technical briefs that show test results and reproducible metrics. Aim to schedule a balanced mix of short technical checks and longer demo slots. For hardware demonstrations set clear objectives, required conditions and time frames to avoid ad hoc complications at the stand.
If you sell test services, bring case summaries with KPIs such as cycle time reduction or measurement repeatability. Use those to frame commercial conversations around measurable gains rather than feature lists.
Practical advice for visits to Messe Stuttgart
Download the exhibitor list and hall plan before arrival and map daily routes by priority. Split your team into commercial and technical roles so meetings convert quickly into next steps. Define immediate follow ups for each meeting, for example sending a test protocol, cost estimate or proposal for a proof of concept.
