Bringing together the entire industrial ecosystem—companies, professional bodies and public
institutions—Global Industrie will take place from March 30th to April 2nd, 2026, at Paris Nord Villepinte,
France. With 2,500 exhibitors across 100,000 sqm, more than 3,000 machines in operation, and 60,000
industry professionals alongside 8,000 young people expected, Global Industrie will once again be a
landmark event for French and international industry alike. In 2026, this so-called “largest factory in
France” will be held under the presidency of Nicolas Dufourcq, Chief Executive Officer of Bpifrance.
Interview with Sébastien Gillet, Director of GL events Exhibitions Industries, and Julie Voyer, Director of
Global Industrie
Over four days, Global Industrie will stand at the very heart of French industry, bringing together every part of the ecosystem around a shared ambition: to demonstrate that there can be no strong economy without a strong industry. In today’s challenging economic climate, the event will deliver a message of realism and confidence, spotlighting tangible industrial solutions, innovation, digital transformation, decarbonisation and business support. A platform for business and thought leadership alike, Global Industrie also reaffirms its commitment to passing on skills and know-how by placing young people and careers centre stage —at a time when the French public is strongly reaffirming its confidence in industry as a key driver of sovereignty, employment and economic growth.
