MSV – International Engineering Fair

Brief Introduction of MSV – International Engineering Fair 2025

MSV 2025 is Central and Eastern Europe's premier industrial technology exhibition. Held annually in Brno, Czech Republic, it attracts 1,600+ exhibitors from 30+ countries and 80,000 visitors. The fair showcases engineering technologies across multiple sectors, from advanced manufacturing to industrial automation. The 2025 edition highlights digital transformation, sustainable production, and Industry 4.0 solutions, serving as the region's definitive meeting point for industrial innovation.

Brief History of MSV – International Engineering Fair

Established in 1958 during Czechoslovakia's industrial expansion, MSV quickly gained international recognition. After the 1989 Velvet Revolution, it transformed from a state-controlled exhibition into a modern international trade fair. The 1990s saw rapid expansion with the introduction of specialized sections, and in 2007, the AUTOMATIZACE section marked MSV's focus on industrial automation. Throughout its 67-year history, MSV has mirrored the Czech Republic's transformation into a modern industrial economy.
