Collective participation in trade fair | Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2026

Continuous technological transition and the consolidation of Iberian economic relations remain fundamental pillars for the growth of the national industry within demanding European markets. In response to this macroeconomic challenge, AIDA CCI is organizing the Portuguese collective participation at the prestigious Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2026 trade fair. This visionary exhibition successfully integrates three benchmark events—MetalMadrid, the Composites salon, and Robomática Madrid—establishing itself as an indispensable platform for companies looking to lead in the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies and forge agile supply networks.

With the metalworking and subcontracting sectors facing a profound transformation driven by digitalization, the active presence of our companies on these decision-making stages becomes mandatory. Scheduled for the 4th and 5th of November 2026, in the Spanish capital, the initiative grants access to an immense pavilion featuring live industrial demonstrations. To fully grasp the practical impact and massive scale of this event, which annually gathers over 13,000 professionals, we advise consulting the official portal of Advanced Manufacturing Madrid, where the panorama of innovations and planned congresses are exhaustively detailed.

Why you should invest in Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2026

The organization of this collective participation in trade fair, is the direct result of the meticulous strategy outlined within the ExporTECH 5.0 project. This application, rigorously submitted under the SICE – SME Internationalization scheme for joint operations, secured robust FEDER support through the funds integrated into the Portugal 2030 framework (Notice MPr-2024-5). This co-financing architecture creates an exceptionally secure environment for Portuguese enterprises to leverage their export indices into Spain, as well as into the Francophone and Germanic markets that converge at this trade show. The exhibition space features 6 distinct areas covering components for the automotive, aeronautical, and railway industries, alongside advanced machinery and personal protective equipment.

• Financial support for international capacity building: To ensure that the national corporate sector projects itself with strength, SMEs meeting all mandatory participation requirements will benefit from a reimbursement of up to 50% on their eligible expenses. This vital injection of support significantly reduces the cash flow burden traditionally associated with international expansion.
• Privileged access to high-yield markets: The exhibition boasts a solid track record of fostering business partnerships, with its previous edition generating approximately 52,000 commercial interactions. By utilizing our integrated support for internationalization, your organization secures not only the assembly of your exhibition stand but also dedicated assistance designed to turn visitors into structured business opportunities.
• Technological knowledge transfer: The two-day trade fair incorporates highly specialized congresses led by more than 100 authoritative speakers. These sessions focus intensely on analytical tools, additive manufacturing, composites engineering (standing out as the only event in Spain dedicated to these specific materials), and the seamless integration of advanced robotics.
