About Intec Leipzig
Intec, the International Trade Fair for Machine Tools, Manufacturing and Automation, returns to Leipziger Messe from Tuesday 2 to Friday 5 March 2027.
It is held every other year and is one of Europe's main meeting points for the metalworking industry, covering machine tools for cutting and forming, laser and additive systems, precision tools and clamping devices, automation and robotics, and measuring and quality technology. Z, the international subcontracting fair for parts, components, modules and technologies, runs at the same time, and one ticket covers both.
In 2025 the two fairs drew 17,800 visitors from 42 countries, with 523 Intec exhibitors and 207 at Z; for 2027 the organiser has moved both into Halls 2 and 4 and the Congress Center Leipzig for a more compact layout. Most visitors come from Saxony and the neighbouring states, so central Leipzig fills up during the fair week.

How do you get to Intec Leipzig?
From Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ)
- The organiser puts Leipzig/Halle Airport about 10 to 15 minutes from the exhibition centre by motorway, or eight minutes on the S5 S-Bahn, which runs every half hour
- Berlin Brandenburg (BER) and Dresden airports are the other options the organiser lists; it puts the drive from BER to the exhibition centre at just under 2 hours
- From Berlin, the organiser lists a direct ICE to Leipzig of 1 hour 15 minutes from Berlin Central Station and 1 hour 5 minutes from Berlin Südkreuz
- Around 800 taxis link the airport, the main station, the city centre and the exhibition centre, according to the organiser
By rail and road
- At Leipzig Hauptbahnhof, long distance travellers change to the S-Bahn, bus or tram towards the exhibition grounds
- Deutsche Bahn event offers for Intec, up to 10 percent cheaper, are valid from 28 February to 7 March 2027 with an admission ticket or exhibitor pass and can only be booked online
- By car, take the A14 exit Leipzig Messegelände or the B2 exit Messegelände; parking uses number plate recognition, and you can pay at the terminal or online up to 48 hours after you leave
- Long distance coaches stop right on the exhibition grounds, and a cycle path runs all the way from the city centre to the site
How do you get around during Intec Leipzig?
Getting to the halls each day
- Tram line 16 runs straight to the Messegelände stop, and almost all trams on the route use low floor carriages
- Regional trains and the S-Bahn stop at Leipzig Messe station, about 750 metres from the exhibition centre, with lifts at the platform
- Where this is expressly stated on the ticket, a Leipziger Messe admission ticket also covers free MDV public transport in fare zone 110 on the day of your visit, so check yours

City centre, Hauptbahnhof or near the Messe?
- The Innenstadt puts many of Leipzig's sights, restaurants and bars within walking distance, which suits evenings after the fair
- Hotels around the Hauptbahnhof put you on the S-Bahn towards the Messe without a change
- Hotels in Leipzig Nord near the exhibition grounds keep the morning trip shortest; the organiser puts the drive along the B2 to the city centre at about 20 minutes
- Leipzig/Halle Airport and Schkeuditz suit a late arrival or an early flight, eight minutes from the Messe on the S5
Do you need a visa for Intec Leipzig?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Germany is in the Schengen Area; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a passport or national ID card
- The German Federal Foreign Office lists citizens of the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and many other countries as needing no visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180 day period
- Non EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, fully operational since 10 April 2026, with fingerprints and a facial image taken at the border, so allow extra time at passport control
- ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, was not yet in operation when we checked; the EU says it will announce the start date several months ahead, so check before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- Nationals of countries such as India, China, South Africa and Türkiye need a Schengen short stay (type C) visa, applied for through German missions or their appointed visa centres
- Under EU rules you can apply no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel; standard processing takes 15 days and can be extended to 45
- If a mission asks for proof of your trade fair visit, contact the Intec team at Leipziger Messe in good time
Documents to carry
- Your Intec admission ticket or exhibitor pass, which you also need for the Deutsche Bahn event offer
- A passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area and issued within the last ten years
- Hotel booking and return travel details, plus copies of your visa supporting documents and travel medical insurance if you need a visa
Entry and visa rules change; check current requirements with the German embassy or consulate, or official EU sources, before you book.
First time at Intec Leipzig?
- Visitor tickets and prices for 2027 were not yet published when we checked; the organiser's visitor page lists the dates, opening hours and halls
- One ticket covers both Intec and the Z subcontracting fair, so allow time for both if you buy parts or contract manufacturing as well as machines
- Friday 5 March closes at 16:00, an hour earlier than the other days, so plan key meetings for Tuesday to Thursday if you are flying out
- The organiser counted more than 80 events in the specialist programme in 2025, held at the conference and in the exhibition halls
- Wheelchairs can be borrowed at the West and East entrance halls and the Congress Center Leipzig, and the organiser recommends reserving one
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Exhibitors: large machines are delivered on 22 February 2027, stand construction runs from 23 February to 1 March and dismantling from 5 to 9 March, so stand teams need far more nights than the four show days
- In 2025 most visitors came from Saxony (53 percent), Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt, and 97 percent were trade visitors, according to the organiser's review
- Leipziger Messe runs its own hotel reservation service with partner hotels; Event Escapes is independent and not affiliated with Intec or Leipziger Messe, and you book a named hotel directly with us at the rate shown
