Micronora international trade fair will be back from September 29 to October 2, 2026, in Besançon, France. As a leading event in the Microtechniques and High Precision sector, Micronora showcases solutions and innovations specific to the wide-reaching sector of high-precision engineering, miniaturization, and the integration of complex systems.

In a context where technology must account for performance, energy efficiency, and resource optimization, miniaturization is now a necessity in all industrial sectors.

That said, miniaturizing is no longer just about being smaller. The challenge now is to design, integrate, and control complete, reliable systems in which every micron counts. This industrial imperative is precisely what Micronora is all about.

While some events view high precision from a sector, process, or market angle, Micronora takes a more demanding stance from a comprehensive and structured industrial approach.

Industrial Continuity: From Concept to Perfection

Micronora is highly relevant to the entire value chain of any company with miniaturization or high precision needs, whether these are: 

R&D and engineering solutions: from design through to the integration of complex systems;

Machines, peripherals and tools: to manufacture components with submillimetric precision, complying with the highest repeatability and productivity standards;

Industrial supplies and related equipment: vital for operational continuity and efficient production processes;

Software and digital solutions: to design, coordinate, and optimize industrial processes;

Surface treatments and related processes: crucial to ensuring high-performing components made to last;

Specialized subcontracting: covering all the skills needed to produce high-precision parts and sub-assemblies;

Measurement and control solutions: to ensure compliance, reliability, and adherence to the most stringent tolerance requirements;

Analysis and correction solutions for production equipment: to control processes and achieve zero-defect targets.

A Meeting Place for Technologies and Industries

The technologies presented at the trade fair are applied to a wide range of sectors such as Aeronautics, Luxury Goods, Medicine, Defence, Electronics, Automotive, and Energy. The cross-industry possibilities are particularly conducive to technology transfers. What is developed to address an extreme constraint in one sector often creates an opportunity in another. Micronora fosters innovative cross-fertilization where a compartmentalized approach would limit prospects.

A Comprehensive Network for Today’s Challenges

With increasing demands on performance, reliability, and efficiency, manufacturers are no longer just looking for suppliers, but for partners able to understand and solve complex issues.

By bringing together researchers, manufacturers, and training specialists, Micronora creates the opportunity to compare views, align skills, and hone industrial processes.

The Vision Behind the Event

Micronora is organized by the Micronora Association, which promotes the Microtechniques and High Precision sector in France and abroad. This initiative expresses a vision – the vision of an industry where high precision is not just about technical performance but a strategic springboard for innovation, competitiveness and longevity. With this in mind, the association’s goal is to create an exceptional industrial ecosystem, promote expertise, and support companies facing the challenges of technological and economic transition.
