Micronora was originally created (first event in 1970) to promote watchmaking techniques and micromechanics, but in 1976, with the watchmaking sector in crisis, the trade fair’s focus turned to high precision technology.
Micromechanics and microelectronics then became increasingly present in products. Hence, in 1980, Micronora once again honed its brand image by adopting the term ‘microtechnology’.
The name Micronora is composed of two parts: Micron (micron precision) / (H)ora (in reference to watchmaking)
The Micronora trade fair is now the leading international microtechnology and high precision trade fair.
It is an international trade fair that brings together the entire microtechnology and nanotechnology sector, from R&D to sub-contracting and production technologies.
