Subcontracting 2026 – The theme is Growth and Internationality
Future success stems from the ability to grow and the desire to strive for higher goals. The theme of the 2026 Subcontracting Fair, ‘Growth and Internationality’, examines the opportunities for the manufacturing industry to expand into new markets and prepare for internationalisation.
A prerequisite for growth and internationalisation is to understand what kind of value network you operate in and where you want to belong in the future. It is easier to direct resources and build a competitive advantage if you know whether your company will be part of a global supply chain, a specialised solution provider, or a pioneer in new technology. The Subcontracting Fair provides a platform where strategic policies intersect with practical opportunities.
Financing accelerates growth
Growth does not occur naturally; it requires resources. Public support and loan-based solutions enable the opening of new markets, scaling of production, or the introduction of new technology. The Subcontracting Fair also highlights lesser-known financing channels and operators. Industrial serial acquirers and investors can offer growth-accelerating opportunities regardless of company size or industry. With appropriate financing, growth and internationalisation can be pursued in a controlled and sustainable manner.
Expertise as a resource
A company’s greatest asset is a skilled person. The availability of labour and the development of skills are also key enablers of industrial company growth. By investing in new training paths and international recruitment, we can find skilled workers for the job. Technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning complement skills and free up employees for more demanding tasks. Their utilisation opens up new ways of organising production and services in a global operating environment.
The Subcontracting 2026 fair opens doors to international markets, new financing models and innovative technologies. Come along – the fair offers a concrete meeting place!
