Digital transformation is forcing companies to link strategy and operations with technologies applicable on the plant floor and in management. In that context, Sido Lyon 2026 brings together practical technology blocks ranging from sensors and connectivity to artificial intelligence and deployable robotics.
Dates and venue in Lyon
Sido Lyon 2026 takes place on September 16 and 17, 2026 at the Cité Internationale de Lyon, also referred to as Lyon Convention Centre. The twelfth edition will take place at a venue that concentrates the exhibition offer and the professional programming on industrial digitalization and services.

Lyon Cyber Expo addresses operational responses for cybersecurity with workshops and practical exercises, including the continuation of the Capture The Flag.
How to prepare commercial prospecting for Sido Lyon 2026
- Segment your list by concrete use case. Prioritize meetings with companies that have projects of Measure Analyze Simulate Deploy Verify Manage, the chain that SIDO promotes.
- Bring brief, measurable success cases. Show operational indicators before and after implementation for quick conversations with decision-makers.
- Schedule demos in the robotics space and in industrial solutions zones. Visibility in INNOROBO makes it easier to demonstrate deployment capability rather than theory.
- Plan 20-minute meetings. The flow of attendees at tech trade shows is intense; the proposal must be direct and include clear follow-up steps.
Final reflection and action
Sido Lyon 2026 concentrates technologies that already force the translation of prototypes into operational solutions. If your goal is to identify buyers in deployment phases, prioritize preparing proofs of concept with metrics and schedule meetings at INNOROBO and Lyon Cyber Expo.
