ABOUT THE FAIR
LAB-SUPPLY Vienna is Austria’s leading regional trade fair for laboratory and analytical technology. It stands for hands-on innovation, in-depth knowledge exchange, and tangible value for the industry – useful, unique, and ultra-specific. The name LAB-SUPPLY says it all: it represents the comprehensive supply of laboratories with everything essential to modern lab operations – from state-of-the-art equipment to digital solutions.
Held annually at the VIECON - Vienna Congress & Convention Center, the event brings laboratory professionals to the heart of the Austrian capital. It is organized by Vogel Communications Group GmbH & Co. KG, based in Würzburg – a seasoned specialist publisher and trade fair organizer with strong industry expertise and an international network.
LAB-SUPPLY Vienna is far more than a product showcase. It serves as a well-established platform for professionals in analytics, biotechnology, life sciences, pharmacology, medical diagnostics, cell and molecular biology, environmental analysis, and industrial research. In addition to showcasing current developments in instrumental analysis, lab equipment, lab chemicals, and digital technologies, the event features a high-quality lecture program that delves into key topics shaping the sector. These include lab safety, facility planning, modern analytical methods such as PCR, chromatography, and elemental analysis, as well as biotechnological processes like protein purification and cell culture. A particular focus is placed on the digitalization of laboratory workflows, with themes such as automation, efficiency, and connected data management taking center stage.
What sets LAB-SUPPLY Vienna apart is its clear technical focus combined with a strong regional orientation. It connects leading manufacturers, distributors, and service providers directly with end users. Visitors primarily include decision-makers, researchers, laboratory managers, and technicians from universities, government institutions, and industrial companies who are actively seeking solutions and professional dialogue. Exhibitors present a wide range of products and services – from laboratory instruments and measurement systems to environmental and food analysis, as well as specialized software solutions.
LAB-SUPPLY Vienna is part of a successful trade fair series that also takes place annually in other major German cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Hanover. This creates a unique platform for knowledge transfer and regional industry networking throughout the German-speaking region. Vienna’s role as a host city underscores the event’s importance for Austria: as a major center of science and research, the city provides an ideal setting for forward-looking dialogue within the laboratory sector.
One of the fair’s key advantages is the combination of free admission and a high-caliber lecture program – a clear added value for all participants. The Austria Center Vienna, located near the UNO-City and easily accessible by public transport, is a modern venue offering excellent infrastructure and an international atmosphere. LAB-SUPPLY Vienna thus delivers not only high-level content but also a professional setting for networking, innovation, and real business opportunities.
