A newly expanded TechShow Arena will showcase emerging technologies shaping the next generation of automotive engineering.
The exhibition will offer more than 20 specialised zones covering the full automotive manufacturing value chain, including future car development, vehicle design and R&D, lightweight materials, product development, powertrain and battery engineering, gigacasting, interior and exterior manufacturing, mold design, welding, stamping, laser processes, painting, automation, robotics, and smart factory logistics.
AMTS 2026 will also introduce an expanded lineup of interactive workshops and technical programs. Led by OEM experts and technology suppliers, the Workshops by AMTS will use case studies and hands-on formats to address real-world engineering challenges across R&D, testing, and production. More than 50 concurrent events will facilitate knowledge exchange, business matching, and industry collaboration. Program highlights include forums on NEV engineering, welding and joining, automotive forming, painting, assembly, solid-state batteries, electric drive systems, battery shell design, and thermal management.
Year-round engagement will continue through A+ CONNECT, AMTS’ online and onsite business-matching platform, which supports supplier discovery, technical problem-solving, and long-term partnership development.
AMTS 2026 is designed for automotive OEM executives, R&D and manufacturing engineers, procurement specialists, system integrators, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, technology leaders, investors, business developers, and industry associations and media.
