T.Gold, the leading B2B trade show for jewellery technology by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), will run from January 16th to 20th, 2026, concurrently with Vicenzaoro. The event highlights how advanced machinery is crucial for optimizing costs, especially with rising gold prices, and promoting sustainable production across the gold and jewellery supply chain.

Key Highlights:

• Dates & Location: January 16-20, 2026, at the Vicenza Expo Centre (Hall 9), alongside Vicenzaoro January.
• Focus: Showcase of machinery and technology that enables industrial and artisan producers to optimize raw material costs (e.g., micro-casting, waste recovery) and ensure environmental respect (sustainability).
• IEG’s View (Matteo Farsura): Technology, including additive manufacturing and digitalization, is transforming the sector by increasing company margins and making production more sustainable. IEG is developing a “comprehensive technology agenda” to boost competitiveness globally.
• Exhibitors: 170 companies from 16 countries, with 40% being foreign exhibitors (led by Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, India, and the US).
• Product Sectors: Six main areas (alloy treatment, prototyping, advanced mechanics, laser welding, precious metal recovery, tools) plus cutting-edge fields like 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and advanced automation.
• Made in Italy Leadership (Massimo Poliero, AFEMO): Italian jewellery mechanics is a global leader, generating an estimated €1 billion in turnover, with member companies of AFEMO (Jewellery Manufacturing Machinery Exporters) accounting for about 70% of total exports. Key export markets are Eastern regions (Turkey, India, South-East Asia).

ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP’S TECHNOLOGY AGENDA

From September 2026, when the Expo Centre’s new central hall will be fully operational, IEG will also complete its technology agenda. Vicenza will become an international hub for gold and precious metal technology thanks to a second annual edition of T.Gold, which will extend the range of technical content on offer, further enrich the workshop and seminar programme, and provide greater continuity to collaborations with leading technology players. This special agenda, which alternates between T.Gold, Oroarezzo and JGT in Dubai, will be joined every other year by the vertical events Jewellery Technology Forum, which will be back in September 2026, and The Vicenza Symposium, which, after its debut last September with an extremely high international turnout, will return in September 2027.
