Embedded World is the world's leading trade fair for embedded systems technology, held each spring at the Nuremberg exhibition centre. The 2026 edition runs 10-12 March 2026. Organised by NürnbergMesse, it gathers around 1,200 exhibitors and draws a large international trade audience of engineers and developers, covering microcontrollers, embedded processors, FPGAs, sensors, connectivity, embedded software, security and the systems that underpin electronics across every industry.
Embedded World is a highly technical B2B fair, and its stands are built for engineers who come to evaluate components and talk to specialists. Exhibitors present hardware, development boards, demo systems and live technology, so stands prioritise demo benches, technical meeting space and clear product zoning over spectacle, with good power and data provisioning for running equipment. The audience is precise and time-efficient, so a stand's job is to get qualified visitors to the right engineer and demonstration quickly.
The fair fills several Nuremberg halls organised by technology area, so hall placement relative to a company's segment matters to reaching the right engineers. The demonstration-heavy nature of the stands means services and cable management are important, and NürnbergMesse's technical rules apply to build-up. The March slot follows standard German venue procedures. Exhibitors confirm stand design and hall placement well in advance.
For companies exhibiting at Embedded World, a builder with Nuremberg and NürnbergMesse experience is a practical advantage: demo-led technical stands benefit from careful power, data and bench planning, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics, load-in and approved-contractor rules reduces on-site risk during the key week in the embedded electronics calendar.
