microGate – New Trade Fair for Micro-Dimensional Manufacturing

Keltern/Karlsruhe, September 9, 2014 – Microtechnology and miniaturisation are trending topics which have a considerable impact on entire industry sectors in Europe. Thanks to a multitude of innovations, the development of microtechnology and miniaturisation advances at an above-average pace. Miniaturisation is considered a future opportunity by the electronics and automotive industries as well as dental and medical technology, mechanical engineering, the optical goods industry, measurement and control technology, precision engineering, and the watch-making industry.

microGate, the new trade fair for micro-dimensional manufacturing, is conceived in the cross-sectional spirit of microtechnology, microproduction and microfabrication, aiming to bring together outfitters, suppliers, component manufacturers and research institutions at this new event. Ulrich Brosz, managing director of Nexxus Veranstaltungen GmbH in Keltern, has already made it possible for trade fairs such as Turning-Days Villingen-Schwenningen, Stamping-Days Pforzheim (now called Stanztec), the Trade Fair for Tool Making and Mould Design (Fachmesse für Werkzeug- und Formenbau, wfb) as well as several regional industry trade shows to be successfully established on the German market. Now he is hoping that the new, internationally oriented microGate trade fair will create an information platform for the industry which will convince both exhibitors and trade visitors thanks to its clearly defined range of topics focussing on all things microfabricated.

The core concept of microGate is a nomenclature of unprecedented depth, which includes all relevant microtechnologies, material groups, and industries, creating interconnection, synergies, and technological bridges between companies, institutions, and regions, and facilitating them in precisely those aspects where other trade-fair concepts are stretched to their limits. The nomenclature serves as an acceptance filter for exhibitors, because the event is supposed to “contain what it says on the outside.” For Mr Brosz, this is an important prerequisite for the success of the microGate trade fair, because he thinks that watered-down industry trade shows no longer attract trade visitors. The depth of topics of microGate will guarantee a successful trade fair. The visitor target groups that Mr Brosz has in mind are insiders from all walks of industry who are looking for companies, innovation, and solutions in the microfabrication area. The exhibitor target group will be from the heart of the microtechnology industry.

The microGate trade fair is accompanied by the internet portal www.microGate-messe.de as well as a tried-and-tested modern trade fair management tool which also includes online registration of the trade visitors and an electronic access system and will support the exhibitors in their acquisition activities. Karlsruhe is the ideal venue for microGate, because the south-west of Germany has traditionally always been the centre of the precision engineering industry, and therefore to a great extent also the centre of microfabrication. There are companies here which are often unique in their know-how, their products, and their manufacturing skills, presenting a considerable economic force.

The proximity of many precision clusters based around the Black Forest is an advantage for both exhibitors and trade visitors and was the determining factor in the decision to make Karlsruhe the venue of the event. With an available area of 12,500 sqm, the dm-arena at the Karlsruhe trade fairground is one of the largest event halls in Germany, and not only its dimensions are impressive: high-quality materials, modern shapes, and the elegant wooden ceiling construction provide a unique atmosphere to an event such as microGate, which has every right to be classified as a high-tech trade fair.
