EPHJ 2026 - The World of High Precision

Overview

EPHJ – The World of High Precision is the world's leading international trade show dedicated to high-precision technologies, held annually at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland. The 2026 edition takes place June 16–19 at Palexpo (Route François-Peyrot 30, Le Grand-Saconnex), bringing together approximately 800 exhibitors from over 40 countries and attracting more than 23,000 professional visitors from all five continents. Organized by Palexpo SA, the event covers the full production chain across four interconnected high-precision sectors: watchmaking-jewellery, microtechnology, medtech, and critical-application industries. EPHJ has been held for over two decades and has grown into an unmissable reference point for the global high-precision manufacturing community. The exhibition floor showcases the entire value chain of precision technologies, from raw materials, components, and CAD design to laser technology, micromachining, metrology, automation, surface finishing, packaging, and precision machinery. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing solutions for high-precision and medical applications are featured prominently as part of the advanced manufacturing technology landscape. A signature feature of EPHJ is the Grand Prix des Exposants, an innovation award presented each year to the most outstanding exhibitor breakthrough, generating significant industry attention and press coverage around world premieres. Beyond the exhibition floor, EPHJ hosts a rich program of round tables, conferences, and technical debates, bringing together internationally recognized speakers and subject-matter experts to explore key industry trends such as digital transformation, sustainability in high-precision manufacturing, and the evolution of the Swiss watch industry. The medtech sector has grown particularly strongly at EPHJ, with more than 50% of exhibitors representing the medical technology space. Free admission for trade professionals makes EPHJ exceptionally accessible, and the Palexpo venue — located adjacent to Geneva International Airport — ensures outstanding logistical convenience for international visitors.
