From 12 to 15 March, the Koninklijke Jaarbeurs opens its doors for ESEF Maakindustrie, with the theme ‘The manufacturability of tomorrow’. More than 175 exhibitors will show how the manufacturing industry is engaging with topics such as digitalisation, robotisation and sustainability. Ricardo Vivas, event manager of ESEF, emphasises: “This edition offers a compelling programme, ranging from presentations on the latest technologies and innovations to knowledge sessions on the challenges facing the labour market. Tens of thousands of professionals and other parties interested in the manufacturing industry can look forward to an inspiring trade fair.” ESEF takes place simultaneously with the trade fair TechniShow.
ESEF Maakindustrie puts the focus on a sustainable future.
At ESEF, ‘The manufacturability of tomorrow’ takes centre stage, according to Ricardo Vivas: “While automation creates challenges on the labour market, the manufacturing industry is undergoing a transformation through digitalisation with IoT and AI. Sustainability is also receiving increasing attention, with a focus on green production and recycling. These crucial themes are extensively addressed in various activities at the fair. We have set up the Future Arena for knowledge sessions on topics such as energy consumption, robotics and supply chain integration. In addition, we have created a ‘career street’ on the exhibition floor, where visitors can find inspiration on the progression and development of staff.”
A thorough exploration of the latest technologies and innovations.

Professionals will gain insight into improving business processes with the help of data. In addition, explanations will be given on how to achieve a controllable, reproducible and error-free production process. Ricardo Vivas says of this: “I look forward to welcoming all the experts from the manufacturing industry to the Jaarbeurs. The upcoming edition promises to be a unique opportunity for professionals to meet one another, exchange ideas and discover the latest developments in the manufacturing industry.”
