SMAU Milano 2026: tech and innovation in Milan

SMAU Milano 2026 is the yearly gathering that links Italy's innovation ecosystem with major global hubs. Over two days, Fiera Milano City becomes a meeting point where companies, startups, universities and research centres showcase digital solutions applied to industry, retail, healthcare, energy and smart communities. The agenda blends exhibition areas with a packed programme of keynotes, workshops, success stories and networking sessions. Attendees get hands-on exposure to artificial intelligence, IoT, cloud computing, augmented reality and embedded systems, and can assess how to fold them into their own business processes. SMAU Milano also anchors the brand's international roadshow, which travels through London, Paris, Stockholm and New York during the year. The Milan edition concentrates the widest offering and is the key moment for anyone hunting for suppliers, technology partners or inspiration for digital transformation projects. For visitors coming from outside Milan, staying close to Fiera Milano City makes it easier to make the most of the two days and join the side meetings. The area offers direct links to the city centre and airports, along with a hotel supply geared to trade fairs and congresses.
