The powder metallurgy and advanced manufacturing community converges in Budapest in October 2026. Euro PM 2026 combines a dense technical programme with an exhibition where suppliers and end users meet over materials, processes and applications.
Dates and venue in Budapest
Euro PM 2026 runs from 11 to 14 October 2026 at the Hungexpo Center in Budapest. The event pairs plenary sessions and a multi-track technical programme with an exhibition floor showcasing equipment and materials for PM and AM.
Key figures for the edition
This edition lists 750 participants and more than 100 stands from over 40 countries. Those figures reflect the event’s international footprint within powder metallurgy and related supply chains.
Topics and companies on the floor
Covered processes include additive manufacturing, Hot Isostatic Pressing, Metal Injection Moulding, press and sinter, Spark Plasma Sintering and Cold Gas Spray. Materials range from ferrous and lightweight alloys to high temperature materials and hardmetals.
Exhibitors include atomization equipment makers, powder handling and testing specialists, suppliers of presses and sintering equipment, and postprocessing providers. Application areas highlighted in the technical sessions include automotive, aerospace, energy and medical components.
Programme highlights and interaction formats
The congress schedule features plenary keynotes and focused technical sessions across PM topics. The event also hosts a PM Forum with Industry Corner presentations, Campfire Meetings and five minute flash talks by poster authors. Awards for innovation and sustainability are part of the programme alongside activities for young engineers.
B2B prospecting and networking tactics
Prepare a contact list segmented by industry application and production stage. Target suppliers of atomization technology and sintering equipment when your interest is process qualification. Bring concise technical dossiers with cycle times, material specifications and cost estimates to support pilot discussions.
Use Industry Corners and PM Forum sessions to test messaging and to request short follow ups. For commercial meetings, translate technical improvements into operational gains relevant to the interlocutor such as reductions in postprocessing time for automotive parts or improved density control for aerospace components.
Practical advice for exhibitors and delegates
Show physical parts and CAD files to allow immediate manufacturability assessments. Produce short one page summaries with key metrics for each product or service. In stand conversations, open with required tolerances, expected annual volumes and qualification milestones to move discussions toward trials and quotations.
