Dortmund has firmly established itself as a hub for intralogistics innovation, and at the heart of this development is the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS. More than just a trade show, it is a space where industry professionals can explore, test, and experience the latest technologies driving the evolution of material handling, robotics and warehouse automation.
Looking back at previous editions, the 2024 event stood out as a milestone. Over 1,200 participants gathered at Messe Dortmund to see more than 100 innovations across a sprawling exhibition area. The event also hosted the international IFOY AWARD finalists, giving attendees the chance to witness the most advanced solutions competing globally for recognition in the field.
The 2025 edition continued this momentum, broadening the scope with international perspectives. More than 40 speakers from Europe, China, and the USA presented insights on mobile robotics, AI applications, and automation trends in the conference area. Attendees could engage in lively discussions, and build connections with startups, established companies, and research institutions — all under one roof. It was a clear reminder that logistics innovation is no longer confined to isolated labs; it thrives where collaboration and knowledge-sharing intersect.
Looking ahead to 2026, the anticipation is palpable. Scheduled for April 15–16 at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle, the event will integrate the 33rd German Material Flow Congress (Deutscher Materialfluss-Kongress) for the first time, creating a platform that combines innovation demonstrations with in-depth expert discussions. Themes like artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and smart logistics will dominate the conversation, providing both insights and inspiration for industry leaders and newcomers alike. With an expanded exhibition space and enhanced networking opportunities, the 2026 edition promises to be the most ambitious yet, drawing intralogistics innovators from across Europe the USA and Asia.
For international scale-ups and corporates, TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS offers more than just exposure; it provides a springboard into the European market. Dortmund’s strategic location, right at the center of Europe’s transport and logistics networks, allows startups to connect with potential partners, customers, and investors while testing their solutions in a real-world context. For any company looking to make an impact in the world of intralogistics, the TEST CAMP has become an unmissable event.
