The International Exhibition of Industrial Spare Parts, Equipment, and Services will take place from November 17 to 20 at the Kram Exhibition Center in Tunisia. The event, organized by the Technical Center for Mechanical and Electrical Industries, will bring together nearly 15,000 participants from various countries, including France, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, the Republic of Congo, Mauritania, Cameroon, Algeria, and Libya. This edition marks the exhibition's return after an almost 19-year absence.

The exhibition aims to provide a professional platform for industry stakeholders to meet, exchange experiences, and explore cooperation and partnership opportunities. It will feature around 250 exhibitors in the technology sector and 120 international experts and speakers. The event also expects the participation of major economic institutions and start-ups. The exhibition will cover an area of approximately 7,000 square meters and will be divided into seven thematic villages.

The exhibition will focus on various fields, including ecological transition, industrial maintenance, industrial measurement and monitoring, and heavy industries. It will showcase products, solutions, and technologies in areas such as Industry 4.0, digitalization, industrial maintenance and monitoring, energy and ecological transition, and production and manufacturing technologies. The event also aims to promote the export of Tunisian industrial services and the transfer of knowledge.

The exhibition's program includes three parallel events, such as the "Grand Prize for Maintenance 2026," which aims to recognize excellence in industrial maintenance and metrology. Another event is the "MAKEATHON AFRICA by CETIME" challenge, which brings together start-ups and engineers to develop innovative prototypes in predictive maintenance. The program also features the 8th African Conference on Non-Destructive Testing.

The Technical Center for Mechanical and Electrical Industries, which is organizing the exhibition, was established in 1982 and provides technical consulting and compliance services through its laboratories. The center contributes to the development of economic institutions and industrial facilities, particularly those operating in the mechanical, electrical, and electronics sectors.

The exhibition's organizers expect around 1,000 bilateral meetings between various economic actors, experts, and participating institutions over the four-day event. The event aims to support institutions in facing rapid technological and environmental changes. It also seeks to encourage innovation and development, particularly in the industrial services sector.

The exhibition will provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and exploring new business opportunities. It is expected to contribute to the development of Tunisia's industrial sector and promote the country's economic growth. The event's return after nearly two decades is seen as a significant step towards revitalizing the country's industrial sector.
