INFORMATION PORTAL OF THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE OF THE KUJAWSKO-POMORSKIE Region IN TORUŃ

The International Cooperative Trade Fair for the Tooling and Processing Industry Innoform 2026 begins today (March 3) at the Bydgoszcz Exhibition and Trade Fair Centre (Bydgoskie Centrum Targowo-Wystawiennicze) – the only trade fair in Poland dedicated to the tooling industry. The event, which has become a permanent fixture in the calendar of the sector’s most important meetings in the country, takes place in Bydgoszcz, the heart of Poland’s “tooling valley.” The ceremonial opening is attended by the Vice-Marshal of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region, Zbigniew Ostrowski.

For the eighth time, Bydgoszcz is hosting leaders and experts from the tooling and processing industry from Poland and across Europe. Participants have the opportunity to explore the latest trends in the sector and discover new technologies available on the market. A total of 130 exhibitors – Polish and international companies – are presenting modern solutions for the tooling industry. The event is organized by Targi w Krakowie and the Bydgoszcz Industrial Cluster, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and has held the status of a National Key Cluster since 2016. The Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region is the strategic partner of the event.

“For years, the regional self-government has been working to build and strengthen the region’s economy. We offer entrepreneurs support at every stage of business development, allocate EU funds for investments, modern technologies, and the promotion of local brands. Under the wing of the regional government, business-friendly conditions have been created, including for investors from outside the region and the country. As we support small and medium-sized enterprises, as a strategic partner we are promoting four such companies at our stands, whose offerings we want to promote nationally and internationally,” emphasizes Vice-Marshal Zbigniew Ostrowski.

Innoform is a platform that connects investors, engineers, and managers with manufacturers of molds, machines, and processing technologies – an ideal place for knowledge exchange, establishing cooperation, and discovering the latest trends in the tooling industry. A highlight of this year’s edition is the conference “Innovation in Good Shape – Faster, Cheaper, More Efficient” (held on the first day of the fair), devoted to the key challenges faced by tool shops and injection molding plants. Industry experts will share knowledge and practical solutions that have a real impact on companies’ competitiveness. On the second day, the Technoforum will take place, giving exhibitors an opportunity to discuss the most important industry topics. The third day will feature a meeting dedicated to presenting the Sectoral Skills Center for the plastics processing industry, established at Mechanical Technical Secondary School No. 2 in Bydgoszcz.

Previous editions have confirmed the enormous demand for such a comprehensive trade fair event, particularly among entrepreneurs from northern and central Poland.
