Labotec returns to Parma on 27–28 October 2026 for its second edition, positioning itself as a key event for innovation in laboratory technologies and analysis.
The exhibition brings together experts, academics, and companies from across the laboratory ecosystem, spanning chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, food, cosmetic, healthcare, and biotechnology sectors. It combines a focused trade show with conferences, workshops, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities.
Following its debut, which attracted more than 4,000 professionals from 43 countries and over 200 exhibitors and brands, the event continues to grow, with strong exhibitor rebooking and new companies joining for 2026.
A key feature of the 2026 edition is an expanded international Top Buyers Programme, designed to connect exhibitors with senior decision-makers from key global markets and strengthen business opportunities.
The event also features a structured content programme, including conferences and technical sessions supported by scientific partners and industry experts. Dedicated spaces such as the Lab World Arena, Demo Area, and Talent Academy provide additional opportunities for live demonstrations, corporate engagement, and skills development.
Labotec will run alongside Cibus Tec, creating cross-sector synergies between laboratory science and food and beverage technologies, and further strengthening links between research, quality control, and industrial production.
With its integrated format and international focus, Labotec continues to position itself as a reference point for the laboratory and analysis sector in Italy.
