Global Industrie: the meeting place for the entire industrial ecosystem

Global Industrie is the annual marker for the industry’s achievements, progress, vision and future prospects, and is the event that brings together those who make up today’s industry and will do so tomorrow. Through specific highlights, this meeting is a territory of expression where everyone can present their innovations, exchange ideas, challenge each other and be inspired by industrial trends and current events.

The renewed presidency of Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of Bpifrance, also confirms Global Industrie’s official status as the expression of French industry. Together, they bring together all those involved in the drive to rehabilitate and renew industry.

From March 11 to 14, 2025, at Eurexpo Lyon (France), Global Industrie will be the voice of this sector and the showcase for solutions for all industrial sectors. 50,000 professionals are expected to attend.

Putting people at the heart of industry

As the driving force behind innovation and growth, the human factor will be the main theme of this year’s event, 2025. It’s an opportunity to bring back to the forefront the people who are at the source of industrial, digital, environmental and societal transformation, as well as the inventors of the professions of the future.

To illustrate this theme, Global Industrie will be welcoming inspiring personalities (top business leaders, personalities from the world of industry…), highlighting the initiatives taken by men and women in the regions and in the factories, and offering spaces to share with the younger generation and thus consolidate the industry of tomorrow. Over 800 speakers are expected to take part in 2025.

u On the Main Stage, the major issues that will shape the industry of today and tomorrow will be debated, issues will be presented, and know-how, innovations and best practices will be shared…

u The Global Industrie TV platform will showcase the skills, talents and uniqueness of all the manufacturers present.

u The GI Avenir area will help to raise awareness among future industry players by introducing them to the industrial fabric, the sectors, the professions… With over 6,000 young people and job seekers in attendance in 2024, Global Industrie will once again confirm its role as a key platform for promoting the attractiveness of industrial professions.

Immersive, experiential immersion in French industry

Global Industrie is the only event in France to bring together the entire industrial sector, its ecosystem, value chain and end-user markets.

A showcase for know-how and an expression of talent, the show presents the innovations of 2,500 exhibitors grouped together in 14 universes to provide visitors with concrete solutions and meet the challenges of the industrial renaissance, whether economic, ecological or sovereignty related. Global Industrie is thus a major cog in the wheel and an anchor point for this dynamic, offering a unique opportunity to monitor emerging trends and signals in a single venue, to better anticipate transformations in industry. In 2025, visitors will discover, among other things:

u 5G/IA/cybersecurity village

Today, data is at the heart of industrial strategy, enabling us to manage, optimize and make industry even more competitive and resilient. For the first time, a village will bring together the 3 key players in data: 5G, which provides increased connectivity to facilitate the transmission and sharing of data; AI, which enables data to be analyzed and put to good use; and cybersecurity, which secures all this information. This village will help to acculturate companies to this digital transformation by raising their awareness of the new uses of private 5G, new technologies and laws linked to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

u Handling, storage, logistics and lifting village

The handling, storage, logistics and lifting quartet is an essential tool for reindustrialization. By optimizing these key areas, they generate significant productivity gains in automated inventory management, automated production, order preparation, multiple robotized applications and all the equipment and tools required for these functions. For the first time, Global Industrie will be featuring a specific section dedicated to supply chain improvement solutions that help to reduce costs and increase productivity, anticipate market fluctuations and improve the value chain.

u Safety and well-being at work (QWW) village

A crucial issue for any modern industrial company, safety and well-being at work (QWL) protect employees’ mental and physical health and improve productivity and the company’s reputation. This new village will bring together companies working to improve working conditions through solutions and advice that reinforce the company’s safety culture. Issues such as stress, ergonomics, training, standards and technologies to combat musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) will be addressed…

In addition to these first new products, the 14 universes on offer at the show will cover all construction, manufacturing and industrial production processes: https://global-industrie.com.  

A reinforced international dimension

Global Industrie 2025 goes beyond national borders to establish itself as a key event on the world stage.

International delegations, innovative startups and major foreign companies will be on hand to discuss global issues and opportunities. 12 international CCIs and a dozen international pavilions will also be present, including, for the first time, four regional Italian pavilions. Global Industrie is also an exceptional showcase for French know-how, promoting the excellence and innovation of French industry to international players. This geographical diversity makes the trade show a unique platform for the creation of global partnerships and strategic collaborations in key sectors such as digital transformation, sustainable industry and new technologies.

It’s time to show that industrial, multi-sector, innovative France is back on the international stage.

Global Industrie will be the showcase for this.”
