The next edition of Micronora will be held from September 29 to October 2, 2026, in Besançon, France.
From September 29 to October 2, 2026, Micronora, the world's leading microtechnology and precision exhibition, will return to Besançon, France, confirming its strategic role also for the high-performance paints and coatings market.
A true innovation hub, Micronora brings together the international submillimeter ecosystem: research and development, engineering, manufacturing techniques, subcontracting, instrumentation, metrology, assembly, and complex systems integration. These are key skills for a sector like the coatings sector, where control, consistency, and precision are crucial to the final product performance.
The exhibiting companies embody a rare technological excellence: the ability to design, produce, and control components capable of operating where the margin of error is measured in microns. This expertise is essential for applications such as functional, protective, and decorative coatings, advanced surface treatments, micro-depositions, thickness control, and surface quality.
Microtechniques thus demonstrate their versatility, finding application in coatings for the aeronautics, electronics, medical, defence, and process industries, where reliability and repeatability are essential requirements. Micronora fosters collaboration between researchers, designers, manufacturers, subcontractors, integrators, and metrology experts, creating an ideal context for the transfer of technological solutions from one sector to another.
This exchange of expertise, which is the DNA of the fair, accelerates innovation and opens up new opportunities for the world of paints and coatings, increasingly oriented toward high performance, sustainability, and process control.
As with every edition, Micronora will also offer Zoom, an immersive demonstration halfway between an exhibition and a laboratory. In 2026, Zoom will highlight the essential role of microtechnology in aeronautics, space, and defence, sectors that drive the development of advanced coatings, confirming Micronora as a privileged observatory of the technologies that will shape the industry of the future.
