ITM Polska is the only fair where business meets science, borders are irrelevant and Industry 4.0 is not a phrase, but reality. Among the wide range trade fairs organised in Poland, the fair in Poznan provides the industry stakeholders with the most comprehensive overview. This event, organised in the heart of Wielkopolska region, is the meeting point for the leaders of all industries, manufacturers, fans of technological innovations and entrepreneurs, who know that the only solution is the optimization and pursuit of new development opportunities.

The June meetings bring together professionals focused on raising productivity, improving manufacturing processes and creating advanced scientific and technological environment. Why? ITM Polska provides a great opportunity for presenting own products and the latest technological solutions to international entrepreneurs, which represents nearly 50% of fair participants, and to demonstrate their functions to 18 thousand of professionals, including executive managers, engineers, constructors and designers.

On the other hand, the fair is also a chance to take part in special events, training and demonstrations, which allow participants to explore new technologies and their secrets, comparing, analysing and consequently gain a competitive advantage.

The importance and popularity of ITM fair is confirmed by its increasing exhibition area. This year the fairgrounds were divided into thematic exhibitions: HAPE (Exhibition of Hydraulics, Pneumatics and Drives), MACH-TOOL (Exhibition of Machine Tools and Tools), METALFORUM (Exhibition of Metallurgy, Foundry Engineering and Metal Industry), SURFEX (Exhibition of Surface Treatment Technologies), WELDING (Exhibition of Welding Industry) and Research for Industry, where representatives of different sectors presented their latest technological solutions for the industry.

The driving force behind the fair is its offer of accompanying events, especially those that are very popular and respond to customer needs This year the good practice of educating participants of ITM and cooperating with organizations and industry magazines was continued.
