Formex welcomed more exhibiting companies than the previous January, along with over 7,000 visitors over three days to discover the season’s trends, products, and inspiring environments.
Formex presents the first Design Talents of 2026. With a strong focus on innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability, Design Talents continues to support designers in their professional development.
Stockholm has been selected as the host city for BIO-Europe 2027, Europe's most important partnering conference in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. The confirmed return, following the successful 2024 event, means that Swedens leading life science ecosystem will once again become the global meeting place for research, investment, innovation, and the deals that drive future medical breakthroughs.
On 1 October, Stockholmsmässan announced a new strategic direction to strengthen its position as the Nordic region’s leading meeting venue and Stockholm as an international meeting city. As a result, public fairs will no longer be organised in-house, and Numera Mässor will acquire the portfolio as the new organiser.
Formex continues to highlight companies and designers who take a responsible, long-term approach to materials and production. Ahead of the fair on January 20–22, 2026, the jury has nominated eight entries that each, in their own creative way, point toward a more circular and resource-efficient future.
DreamHack Stockholm 2025 kicks off this Friday. From 28–30 November, the world’s largest festival for gaming and internet culture takes over the entire Stockholmsmässan venue – a major expansion from last year. With more activities, major esports finals, live shows and the Nordic region’s largest gaming expo, the organisers aim to surpass the 52,000 visitors from 59 countries recorded last year.
With a new CEO and strategic direction, Stockholmsmässan is setting its sights on reinforcing its position as the Nordic region’s foremost venue for congresses and exhibitions – and in doing so, strengthening Stockholm’s role as an important international meeting hub for business and the wider region.
