Activities

The Manufacturing Future Arena focused on three main themes:

• Sustainability (energy consumption, resource use, waste, circularity)
• Smart Industry (digitization, automation and robotization)
• Supply Chain (chain integration)

During ESEF Maakindustrie, the event "Women in the Manufacturing Industry" was organized on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. In the Future Arena, women from the industry spoke about their experiences and interacted with each other in a panel discussion. The event ended with a subsequent networking lunch.

The Innovation Square featured all kinds of smart innovations from ESEF Manufacturing exhibitors.

Here, the latest technological breakthroughs and groundbreaking ideas that shape the future of the manufacturing industry came together. Innovation and progress took center stage at this plaza, providing a glimpse into the latest industry developments.

For those who wanted to dive deeper into specific topics, several guided theme tours were organized. These tours, led by experts, guided visitors through the exhibition floor and offered insights into the latest technologies and innovations within various fields.

The strength of the combination of TechniShow and ESEF Maakindustrie was that it brought 'make' and 'buy' under one roof. Hundreds of exhibitors at TechniShow and ESEF Maakindustrie showed how the manufacturing industry continued to innovate.
