Sensor+Test – Leading international trade fair for sensor, measurement, and testing technology

Precision, innovation, and reliability for tomorrow's industry

Sensor+Test in Nuremberg is one of the world's most important trade fairs for sensor, measurement, and testing technology. Every year, it brings together developers, engineers, research institutes, system providers, and user industries with the aim of presenting the latest technologies for a precise, digital, and automated world. Whether Industry 4.0, IoT, automotive development, aerospace, or medical technology—sensors and measurement technology are indispensable wherever precise data must be collected, processed, and evaluated. Sensor+Test is the showcase for this high technology—practical, interdisciplinary, and international.

Wide range of applications – from mechanical engineering to environmental technology

What makes Sensor+Test special is the breadth of industries represented at the trade fair. The trade fair is aimed at experts from:

  • Mechanical and plant engineering
  • Automotive and transportation technology
  • Aerospace
  • Electronics and semiconductor technology
  • Medical technology and life sciences
  • Environmental monitoring, energy, construction
  • Research, universities, institutes
This diversity creates valuable synergies at the trade fair, for example when new materials from medical technology suddenly find applications in automation or sensor concepts from aviation are adapted for smart buildings.

Expert forums, live demonstrations, and innovation platforms

A central element of Sensor+Test is the extensive expert forum located directly in the exhibition hall: Here, presentations by experts, start-ups, universities, and established manufacturers take place—free of charge and open to all visitors. Topics range from the latest research results and application examples to legal and normative developments in measurement technology. Many exhibitors also demonstrate their systems live – whether real-time condition monitoring on machines, innovative pressure sensors under extreme conditions, or optical measurement technology with AI support.

Special topics with future potential

Every year, Sensor+Test focuses on a specific theme. In recent years, the focus has been on topics such as:

  • Sensors for the digital world
  • Measurement technology for hydrogen applications
  • Artificial intelligence in sensor data evaluation
  • Sustainability through precise monitoring systems
  • Wireless & energy harvesting in sensor technology
The trade fair thus impressively demonstrates how technological development is oriented toward social and industrial trends—and how important reliable measurement data is for safe, efficient, and sustainable processes.

Science meets industry – AMA Congress parallel to the trade fair

Sensor+Test is complemented by the AMA Congress, a high-caliber scientific event that presents the latest research results in sensor and measurement technology. The focus here is on interdisciplinary exchange between science and industry – an ideal platform for technology transfer and the development of new partnerships.

Platform for start-ups and young companies

With special exhibition areas for start-ups, founders, and young companies, Sensor+Test actively promotes innovation and new ideas. Young developers present their first prototypes, new measurement methods, or disruptive business models here – often in close cooperation with universities or funding institutions.
