Messe Stuttgart will be staging the next Vision trade fair for the machine vision industry from October 5 to 7, 2021. The organizer is thus responding to the wishes of exhibitors and visitors who, in a wide-ranging survey, voted overwhelmingly (75 % of exhibitors surveyed and 81 % of visitors) in favor of holding the show next year. The new scheduling of the show, which is now held in odd-numbered years at the same time as Motek, the international trade fair for production automation and assembly, is likely to remain in force for a long time to come.
"Vision continues to evolve dynamically, as does the entire machine vision sector. We are using the current challenges to take further steps that will once again benefit the show in the long term".explains Florian Niethammer, team leader and head of the Vision project at Messe Stuttgart. In addition to the strategic measures already underway for 2020, such as the launch of Vision Start-up World and an extensive communications offensive on the Chinese market, Messe Stuttgart plans to extend the Vision 2021 experience with digital tools. There are, however, no plans for a virtual replacement of the show that was cancelled in 2020.
Klaus-Henning Noffz, Director New Business Development Basler AG and Chairman of the Board of VDMA Machine Vision, the promoter of the world's leading machine vision trade fair, welcomes the move by Messe Stuttgart: "Vision is the hub and engine of the machine vision industry. We look forward to a strong edition of Vision in 2021 with once again many personal meetings with business contacts and friends from all over the world.". Gabriele Jansen, Managing Partner Vision Ventures and EMVA board member, welcomes the show organizer's decision: "Vision is the industry's driving force, where important business contacts are made and maintained, innovations presented and future developments discussed. So we're all the more looking forward to seeing you there next year in Stuttgart."
Every two years, Vision maps out the image processing technology sector. In addition to first-rate exhibitors from all over the world, the show also offers a varied support program. Popular events such as Industrial Vision Days, the world's leading conference forum for machine vision, will be held again in 2021.
