SIDO Lyon

The European crossroads of technological innovation

Since 2015, SIDO Lyon has established itself as the largest European B2B showroom dedicated to convergence technologies: Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality (XR), and Robotics. Every year in September, the Cité Internationale de Lyon hosts this major event that brings together the entire value chain, from innovative technological bricks to turnkey solutions.

A program of high-level conferences

With over 70 conferences led by 210 experts, SIDO offers a dense program covering the strategic challenges of digital transformation. The topics addressed range from Industry 4.0 to Smart City, from cybersecurity to generative AI, including collaborative robotics and digital twins. Major French groups — Thales, Airbus, Renault Trucks, Sanofi Pasteur, Total, Safran, Air France — mingle with startups and research laboratories.

A constantly evolving exhibition

The 2026 edition introduces two major innovations: the Impact by SIDO zone, which highlights responsible and sustainable low-carbon technologies, and the Innorobo by SIDO demonstrations, illustrating the growing role of collaborative robotics and intelligent automation in production. SIDO also integrates the Lyon Cyber Expo dedicated to digital security, strengthening its position as a comprehensive technology hub.

Free access for professionals

SIDO Lyon is a 100% business event, free upon registration with a unique professional badge granting access to the exhibition, conferences, and networking. Over 8,000 professionals — executives, innovation directors, engineers, and researchers — gather each year for two days of exchange and discovery at the heart of the European technological ecosystem.
