High-tech professionals gathered at the 23rd edition of the Precision Fair taking place from 13th – 14th November 2024 at the Brabanthallen, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, to exchange knowledge about high and ultra precision technology.
In addition to a wide range of networking opportunities, knowledge sharing took centre stage in the conference programme, featuring insights into major European projects including the Einstein Telescope and discussions on the latest challenges and developments in high and ultra precision technology.
Over 6,100 professionals met, networked, and exchanged ideas, with over 375 exhibitors showcasing their latest innovations and presenting a wide range of high-tech solutions in precision mechanics, metrology, optics, mechatronic engineering, precision manufacturing, machining and tools, as well as vacuum and cleanroom technology.
“This year, more than ever, we see the entire precision technology value chain seeking new connections, knowledge sharing and joint innovation. Interest from abroad is significant and we are proud to have welcomed a record number of international delegations,” said Bart Kooijmans, programme manager at Mikrocentrum, organisers of the Precision Fair.
During the 2024 Precision Fair several top student teams were showcased on the exhibition floor, and in the pitch programme, to inspire and motivate the next generation. Among the international delegations were the short-pulse laser association from Lithuania with four companies and the Irish Precision Tooling & Machining Association, which attended with twelve companies. Delegations also came from Germany, Spain, Italy, and Canada, including the Canadian Photonics Association and the Swiss Precision Cluster. The large international participation underscores the growing importance of collaboration within the global precision technology sector.
The next edition of the Precision Fair will be held on 12th – 13th November 2025 at the Brabanthallen.
