Elmia Subcontractor Connect 2025

Dates: 11–12 November 2025
Location: Jönköping, Sweden – at the Elmia Subcontractor Fair (with online participation available)
Organized by: ALMI and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN)

The Elmia Subcontractor Connect 2025 matchmaking event brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers from across Europe for two days of focused B2B meetings designed to turn introductions into real business. Organized by ALMI and the Enterprise Europe Network, this event takes place within Elmia Subcontractor — Northern Europe’s leading trade show for subcontractors in the manufacturing industry.

Rather than relying on random encounters at a trade fair, Subcontractor Connect offers a structured format where companies are matched based on their specific needs, capabilities, and interests. Every meeting is targeted, time-efficient, and designed to open real collaboration opportunities.

Why this event matters

For manufacturing SMEs, 2025 brings a strong push toward resilience, diversification, and smarter supply chains. Subcontractor Connect answers these needs directly by:

• providing access to decision-makers and procurement specialists from European manufacturing companies;
• offering a hybrid model (on-site and online), making participation flexible and cost-effective;
• ensuring that each meeting is pre-arranged and relevant, based on clear buyer and supplier criteria;
• offering on-site support from EEN and ALMI business advisors, who help participants connect and follow up.

Who should attend

• Manufacturers and subcontractors in metal, plastics, machining, electronics, tooling, or component production;
• Suppliers seeking new European buyers or OEM/Tier 1–2 partnerships;
• Purchasing managers and technical buyers looking for qualified subcontractors.

What to expect

Participants can hold multiple pre-scheduled B2B meetings at the dedicated matchmaking area or online via the event’s digital platform. In between sessions, attendees can network informally in the Subcontractor Connect café, where EEN advisors are available to provide guidance and introductions.

Registration

Participation is free of charge.
