Analytica 2026: A place where labs find new solutions – and decision-makers have the right conversations
The Analytica Fair brings together everything – laboratory technology, analytics, biotechnology and quality control – in one place. As the world’s leading trade fair with a tradition since 1968, it presents a complete range of modern laboratories in industry and research. The focus for 2026 is: digitalization in the laboratory, Lab Automation & KI, as well as sustainability in the laboratory. The concept combines an exhibition, an “analytica conference” and a strong accompanying program – to bring technology, knowledge and the right people together in one place. This is where international companies, users and the scientific community meet.
As
an exhibitor, you present products and innovations exactly where potential customers and partners are looking for solutions. The 2024 edition saw 1,066 exhibitors from 42 countries and around 33,000 visitors from 117 countries – a strong international decision-maker ambience. The organizer points out: professional visitors come from strong industries, as well as from research and science; 57% visit analytics exclusively. You position your solution along the entire value chain of the laboratory – from laboratory technology and instrumental analytics, through biotechnology, to quality control and material testing. This opens up concrete opportunities for leads, partnerships and market visibility – further enhanced through the accompanying conference.
For visitors
For professional visitors, analytica is the most concrete overview of the market: five halls full of products, systems, components and applications throughout the laboratory value chain. Renowned exhibitors present world novelties to a professional audience for the first time, with numerous products in focus for direct comparison. At the Analytica conference, you will talk to international researchers about current developments and future perspectives of analytics. You get actionable insights – from Lab Automation & KI and digitalization to sustainable lab operations.
Accompanying program
The four forums feature “hands-on” content on current trends, with focus days such as “Finance Days” with insights into financing and support options for biotech companies, as well as a “Jobday” on Friday. In the special exhibition area “Digital Transformation” you experience manufacturer-independent networked work in the laboratory through concrete case studies. The “Live Lab” shows complete workflows and synergy of the latest products and systems in real-world deployment. Additional formats include training and training, a study information day, as well as Young Innovators, Startup Area and Guided Tours (e.g. for food analytics, Chromatographie/HPLC or sustainability). The “Analytica Conference” will be held from March 24 to 26, 2026 at ICM, in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition halls.
