It's on! The welding and cutting industry reinvents itself - register now for USE 2027

The welding and cutting industry is on the move: with USE 2027 - The Ultimate World of Cutting and Welding - Urban Steel Expo, Messe Düsseldorf is establishing an innovative exhibition format that will bring together central future topics, technology trends and international market leaders in a 4-year cycle starting in 2027. The debut will take place from April 20 to 23, 2027 - online registration is open with immediate effect.

Spark, precision, high-tech - welding creates connections far beyond metals. In a completely new exhibition format, USE brings together decision and business leaders, production managers, manufacturing employees, universities and professional associations of the welding and cutting industry - from established industrial companies to technology leaders to specialized vendors to system suppliers and service providers. As the leading international organizer of capital investment and metalworking trade fairs, Messe Düsseldorf, with its flexible infrastructure and global reach, creates the ideal conditions for this - thinking big and thinking international from the start.

Focus on digitization, AI and robotics

In terms of content, USE 2027 will focus on central future themes of industrial manufacturing: digitization and Industry 4.0, automation and robotics, sustainability and energy efficiency, artificial intelligence and machine learning, additive manufacturing and new materials, as well as high-performance laser cutting. This means that the event offers decision makers, end users and developers alike a highly relevant platform for exchange, momentum and business initiation.

USR - where USE becomes an experience

A particular highlight of USE is the integration of Urban Steel Rockstars (USR) - an event format that combines community and content with live experiences. With master classes, interactive formats and a fresh communication approach, USR is breathing fresh air into the classic trade show world and also reaching younger skilled workers and new audiences. "With Urban Steel Rockstars, we are making USE the place where expertise, brands, people and emotions come together. The cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf allows us to take this experience to the next level," said Frederic Lanz, CEO of MingleMakers UG, USE's event partner.

"USE is much more than a trade fair - it is a statement for progress, exchange and experience. Those who register now become part of a movement that is actively contributing to the future of the welding and cutting industry," said Daniel Ryfisch, USE director at Messe Düsseldorf.

More than 30 industry leaders and newcomers have already confirmed their participation. Daniel Ryfisch says: "The industry is ready for a new format with international ambitions and real added value."
