Micronora 2026 brought together 547 exhibiting companies from 19 countries. The countries with the most exhibitors were France (113), Switzerland (44), Germany (35) and Spain (18). By sector, the largest group was Industrial Manufacturing (116).
Miniaturization and the need for precision in industrial processes are driving rapid iterations in components for aerospace, healthcare and telecommunications. Micronora 2026 takes place from 29 September to 2 October in Besancon and brings together solutions in microtechnologies and micro-nanotechnologies applicable to those sectors.
Dates and venue of Micronora 2026
The fair will take place from 29 September to 2 October 2026 at the Parc des expositions de Besancon - Micropolis. The organisation maintains online tools for exhibitors and visitors and disseminates specialised content between editions through its e.micronora platform.
What Micronora 2026 showcases
Micronora brings together suppliers of process and production, miniaturised components and control and metrology tools aimed at markets such as aerospace, medical and telecommunications. The exhibition offering ranges from precision machining solutions to functional integration technologies and inspection systems by optical or laser control.
Featured activities and spaces in the edition
The programme includes technical conferences, the Micronora Awards and the Rendez‑vous BtoB under the name Micro Nano Event. Also featured is La Fabrique 4.0, a mobile training unit that allows workflows and hands-on training in advanced production to be seen. The magazine Micronora Informations complements the trade show activity with regular sectoral dissemination.
How to prepare commercial prospecting at Micronora 2026
Plan ahead. Identify 15‑25 target companies from the exhibitor list and set up a sheet with priorities: technical contact, purchasing manager and potential end customer. Use the e.micronora platform to consult exhibitors and schedule Rendez‑vous BtoB; prioritise 20-minute meetings and leave room for on-site demonstrations.
Prepare short, direct technical material. A dossier of 1 to 2 pages per product with key specifications, tolerances and certifications speeds up qualification at the fair. At the stand, organise brief, repeatable demos that show tolerances, repeatability and quality control. Bring technical datasheets and links to technical videos hosted in the cloud to send after the meeting.
Define quantifiable objectives for each day. For example, number of meetings with technical managers, a list of 30 leads with complete records and three agreed proofs of concept. At the end of each day, prioritise follow-up with concrete dates and actions.
Relevance for industrial suppliers in 2026
Supply chains in sectors such as aerospace and healthcare today demand smaller components with traceability and process control. Micronora 2026 concentrates specialised players in those links, from precision subcontractors to manufacturers of control and automation solutions.
Micronora maintains an ecosystem of activities that facilitates technical visibility and the generation of commercial contacts. To consult the detailed schedule, the list of exhibitors and the participation conditions, visit the official Micronora website at http://www.micronora.com.
Closing recommendation
If your commercial objective is to win projects that require precision and miniaturisation, arrive with representative samples and a defined meeting plan. The fair allows you to confront prototypes with production capabilities and validate key technical interlocutors; check the e.micronora platform and the Micronora Awards offering to identify relevant innovations before you travel.
