Smart and integrated solutions for industry

The Valhalla of industrial automation and Industrie 4.0 returns to its most preferred period. INDUMATION.BE 2024 will take place from January 31 to February 2, 2024 in Kortrijk Xpo.

The usual ingredients - including the timing, the market-based offerings in the seven technology routes, the strong partnerships, the Connectivator, the Nocturne, the Expert Classes... - combined with the current geopolitical, demographic and technologically disruptive setting, form the ideal recipe for the 2024 edition of the Valhalla of Industrial Automation and Industry 4.0.

All branches of industry

Indumation.be is aimed at industrial professionals from all branches of industry (manufacturing and process industry, logistics, mechanical engineering, aerospace, energy and utilities...) and public sectors (governments for infrastructure and organization). In terms of profiles, the fair targets both decision-makers and end managers (for production, logistics, purchasing, projects and development), as well as prescribers and consulting executives. College students of technology education and third-grade high school students (under supervision) are also welcomed.

Latest insights and best practices

Indumation.be guarantees a unique trade fair experience and knowledge transfer. A high-end range of Expert Classes immerses visiting teams in the latest insights, forecasts and best practices from experts, competence centers and industry peers. In the Connectivator hub, experts, visitors, technology federations and research centers enrich each other under the payoff Connect - Integrate - Innovate.

Tech Guru Explosition

On Wednesday evening, January 31, the organization, along with several cruising partners and with the support of several schools, is hosting the Tech Guru Explosition event. A customized initiative exclusively for all higher/university technology education students and young professionals (alumni). A genuine, informal and interactive debate will be set up. Several panelists (info coming soon on the exhibition website) will represent hyperscalers, AI startups with a proven track record, and a tech watcher. Various perspectives, opinions regarding the reality, future and developments around Metaverse & AI for Industry will be discussed. Beforehand, participants can choose to visit the cruising partners themselves for a personal welcome and introduction. After the debate, every participant is cordially invited to join the afterdebate party with deejay, drinks and bites.

Nocturne

A festive nocturne and late-night visit are scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024, until 10 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend! The organization and its more than 250 partners are pleased to welcome you in this more informal setting at Indumation.be. Various experiences and fringe events will be set up that evening for you to discover at various booths and locations on the show floor. Experience shows that a nocturne visit to Indumation.be is an absolute must.

Friday Teamday & Immersion Classes

Friday, Feb. 2, Indumation.be 2024 will be the place-to-be for those smaller industrial companies where the business manager and his close-knit team of department heads essentially struggle with the limited opportunity, tight schedules and available employees to visit Indumation.be. 

The organization is therefore framing the theme 'It's Friday - it's Teamday' for the first time on Friday. Indumation.be specifically invites these companies to exchange their Friday meetings for one day for an instructive, hands-on, 'together in the car to Indumation.be 2024' team-building event. Company teams who register for this will be offered two very practical Immersion Classes (Smart Maintenance and Collaborative Technology), introduced by two experts, followed by a visit to the fair with highlights on both areas of expertise, followed by a snack and drink at the fair bar, before driving off together into the weekend, satisfied and recharged.

Agoria Learning Tour

Agoria Industrial Automation, the manufacturers and suppliers of industrial automation in Belgium, is again organizing the INDUMATION LEARNING TOUR during this seventh edition of INDUMATION in 2024, an industrial automation discovery tour that you can experience with your students and school. Groups of three final-year students and one school supervisor from technical, vocational or general secondary education in Belgium are welcome. So for those who want to immerse themselves in the world of STEM. More info on the fair website.
