Europe’s chemical sector is navigating competitive pressures while playing a central role in the energy transition. Expoquimia 2026 presents a concentrated programme where applied engineering, process equipment and analytical instrumentation come together to address those operational challenges.
What Expoquimia 2026 brings to Barcelona
Expoquimia 2026 runs from 2 to 5 June at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue. The edition marks the event’s 60th anniversary and includes formats such as the Innovation Hub, the Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering, Smart Chemistry and Engineers Day, alongside focused activities in Pharma Process.
Highlighted programme elements
The event features thematic spaces like the Industry Showcase and Best in Class, an International Programme and a Gala Dinner. Organizers provide an app to manage visits and set meetings in advance, supporting pre-event coordination between attendees and exhibitors.
Exhibitors and sector mix
Exhibitors include companies from the chemical industry, machinery and capital goods suppliers, laboratory equipment manufacturers and providers of analytical instrumentation. The fair also gathers pharmaceutical process specialists, engineering firms, pump and valve suppliers and R&D centres focused on technology transfer.
How to prepare B2B prospecting for Expoquimia 2026
- Set technical goals. Create a list of required process parameters or product specifications to match potential suppliers quickly.
- Leverage the app and exhibitor directory. Schedule meetings with targeted companies and upload technical briefs or case summaries to streamline discussions.
- Target demonstration areas. Allocate time for the Innovation Hub and Industry Showcase when evaluating pilots or proof of concept demonstrations.
- Bring technical documentation. Share process sheets, operating curves or sample requirements to speed up feasibility assessments.
- Define next steps. Agree on timelines for pilot tests, site visits or quotations before leaving the stand to keep commercial momentum.
Practical trends reflected in the fair
Pre-event interviews and reports highlight recurring themes at Expoquimia 2026: integration of digital tools and AI, energy efficiency, industrial safety and collaborative models for the pharmaceutical supply chain. These trends are visible in the topics of sessions and in the profiles of companies present at the Innovation Hub.
