At the heart of industrial innovation

With its clear focus, SENSOR+TEST 2026, has once again confirmed its role as the leading international trade fair for sensor, measurement, and testing technology. The event bought together a unique combination of technological depth and cross-industry diversity, and it is precisely this dynamic that is its key success factor. Anyone who wants to know how measurement data shapes the future cannot afford to miss SENSOR+TEST.

Under the motto ‘Welcome to the Innovation Dialog’, the international sensor and measurement technology industry gathered in Nuremberg from June 9-11. For three days, the focus was on innovations, expert discussions, and direct exchange between industry, research, and development.

317 exhibitors from 25 countries, 4351 trade visitors, 251 conference participants, and a total of around 7000 fair attendees took advantage of the three days to discuss current developments, industrial applications, and future technology trends.

Exhibitors presented solutions that illustrate the increasing convergence of sensor technology, data processing, software, and artificial intelligence in comprehensive industrial systems.

SENSOR+TEST is regarded as the central platform for sensor, measurement, and testing technology because it not only offers visitors an overview of technologies but also provides in-depth insights into how they work, their further development, and their industrial implementation. At the same time, it covers nearly all relevant application fields – from automotive, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation to aerospace, energy, medical technology, and rail. This combination of technological depth and broad industry coverage makes the trade show unique on the international stage.

Elena Schultz, Managing Director of AMA Service GmbH, draws a positive conclusion: “SENSOR+TEST 2026 impressively demonstrated how strongly our industry is helping to shape technological change. Of particular importance is the intensive professional exchange, which goes far beyond individual products and enables a genuine understanding of the system.”

Exhibitors also emphasised the high quality of the discussions. The focus was particularly on system integration, data quality, and AI-based applications. Visitors arrived with specific questions and used the trade show specifically to solve complex technical challenges.
