Micronora, the leading international microtechnology and high precision trade fair, will be back in Besançon (France) from 29 September to 2 October 2026. A hive of innovation, this trade fair showcases the world’s submillimetric technology ecosystem—R&D, engineering, manufacturing techniques, subcontracting, tooling, metrology & assembly and integration of complex systems—to meet the technological challenges in the most demanding industries.

Micronora is where the future of cutting-edge technologies is created. The companies at the trade fair boast the rare ability to design, produce and control components capable of functioning with a margin of error measured in microns.

With this level of technological excellence, our exhibitors are shaping the future of industries. Microtechnology is no longer confined to a few specific fields and can now be applied to all markets. It has given us next-generation medical implants, optimised aeronautical sensors, improved the precision of watch movements, enabled more secure military systems and more efficient electronic components.

Micronora is a testament to the vast range of possibilities out there. Researchers, design offices, manufacturers, subcontractors, integrators and metrology experts will all be gathered under one roof, interacting, working together, supporting each other and finding new applications for existing innovations. This cross-fertilisation is part of the trade fair’s DNA and generates tangible progress.

A Zoom event for microtechnology in the aeronautics, space and defence industries

At each of its trade fairs, Micronora offers an immersive experience, the Zoom event, a cross between an exhibition and a laboratory, demonstrating how vital microtechnology is in one specific area. In this way, Micronora gives a unique insight into how technologies will shape the global industry of the future. In 2026, the trade fair will demonstrate the vital ways in which microtechnology is driving the aeronautics, space and defence industries.
