INTRODUCTION


Towards SIMEI 2026

SIMEI is the leading international trade fair for oenological and beverage technologies, a strategic event for companies, operators and industry professionals. It has always served as a privileged observatory on innovation, market trends and the solutions that are shaping the evolution of the entire supply chain, offering a unique environment for dialogue and growth.

The 2024 edition confirmed SIMEI’s central role on the international stage, with over 30,000 m² of exhibition space, 578 exhibitors (+20% compared to 2022) and 33,000 visitors (+10% compared to 2022). These results highlight the vitality of the sector and further strengthen the fair’s position as a benchmark platform for the entire industry.

These numbers provide both confirmation and momentum as the design of the 2026 edition moves forward, increasingly aligned with the needs of a sector that demands growing attention to sustainability, consumer health, and operational efficiency and effectiveness. This drive towards innovation also extends to the services offered by the fair, which now include the new Digital Platform and App, tools designed to support both exhibitors and visitors, enhancing and simplifying the overall event experience.

Looking ahead to the next edition, scheduled from 17 to 20 November 2026 at Fiera Milano, SIMEI continues its evolutionary path, keeping at its core the values, technologies and expertise that will shape the future of the sector.
