Innovationstag Mittelstand 2026

On 11 June 2026, small and medium-sized enterprises will present innovative projects, new technologies and creative ideas at the Innovationstag Mittelstand organised by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) in Berlin. Around 300 exhibitors will showcase pioneering developments at the open-air event for visitors to touch and participate in. They illustrate the innovative capacity of German SMEs and the central importance of small and medium-sized enterprises for the German economy: SMEs are meeting current challenges with a wealth of ideas, a spirit of research and entrepreneurial courage.
