IFAM, INTRONIKA, ROBOTICS & MTE 2027 – four fairs, one vision for the future of industry

From 26 to 28 January 2027, the Exhibition and Convention Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia will host one of the most significant gatherings of industrial technology professionals in the region. IFAM, INTRONIKA, ROBOTICS & MTE 2027 are four thematically independent yet strategically interconnected B2B fairs, brought together under one roof to represent the future of high technologies across automation, robotics, digitalisation, electronics and mechanical engineering.

These are not conventional trade shows. They are designed as a professional meeting ground where innovation, knowledge, advanced technology and real business opportunities converge. Each fair serves a clearly defined content area and a qualified target audience.

IFAM: the hub of automation and digital manufacturing

IFAM is dedicated to the expansive world of automation, mechatronics, assembly and operational technologies. Visitors will find solutions spanning positioning systems, process and industrial automation, drive technology, sensors, and measuring, testing and marking technologies. The fair also covers identification and automatic data collection, machine vision, laser technology and photonics, and the rapidly evolving fields of Industry 4.0 and 5.0.

IFAM further addresses digitalisation, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and scanning, and modelling – making it a comprehensive destination for professionals seeking direct contact with business partners and solution providers across the full spectrum of modern industrial automation.

INTRONIKA: specialised industrial electronics under one roof

INTRONIKA brings together companies from all segments of industrial and professional electronics. The fair covers components, semiconductors, embedded systems, micro and nano systems, and electronic design. Alongside these, visitors will encounter passive components, displays, measuring techniques, peripheral devices, electromechanical systems, power supply and energy solutions, and a wide range of sources of electrical power. For electronics professionals navigating an ever more complex technology landscape, INTRONIKA offers the depth and breadth of content rarely found in a single venue.

ROBOTICS: from industrial arms to humanoid machines

The ROBOTICS fair spans the full range of contemporary robotics – industrial, collaborative and mobile. Exhibitors present special robots, professional service robotics, robotic mobile systems and vehicles, and robots developed for specific purposes in logistics, medicine, security, cleaning, design and demolition. Components for robots, grippers, navigation systems and manipulation technologies round out the offering.

A highlight of the hall will be the CATWALK for Robots – a dedicated live demonstration area where mobile and humanoid robots perform in real time, giving visitors a visceral sense of what modern robotics is capable of today.

MTE: a new name in precision manufacturing

Making its debut at this edition, MTE Slovenia is a specialised B2B fair for professionals in mechanical engineering, metalworking, engineering and industrial automation. Through a comprehensive exhibition of state-of-the-art machines, precision tools, automation solutions and advanced manufacturing technologies, MTE gathers leading industry experts in one focused environment. Its addition strengthens the overall programme and signals a recognition that mechanical engineering deserves dedicated space alongside its digital and electronic counterparts.

Activities beyond the exhibition floor

The fairs offer more than stands and product displays. Organised visits bring guided groups of students through the exhibition, connecting them with pre-selected exhibitors for company presentations and a look at real employment opportunities. Technical innovations and developments are presented throughout the event, creating a programme that rewards engagement at every level of experience.

At the heart of the four fairs sits the Business Forum – the central venue for exchanging professional knowledge, experience, innovative ideas and best practices across industry, technology and digitalisation. It connects thematic areas and experts from diverse industries, encouraging multidisciplinary dialogue grounded in the use of high technologies and advanced solutions.

The Forum draws companies, technology developers, researchers, solution providers, start-ups, innovators, universities and research institutions into a shared conversation about how artificial intelligence, automation, digital tools, 3D scanning and printing, and the latest developments in electronics can together contribute to a more efficient, safer and more sustainable industrial future.
