An initiative by Jornal das Oficinas in partnership with CEPRA and support from expoMECÂNICA

​

 

The Best Mechatronics Competition 2026, celebrates the IX edition that will be marked in the best way, with the Grand Final in May 2026, at Exponor, during the expoMECÂNICA Fair.

​

 

Held for the first time in 2016, the Best Mechatronics Competition has been growing in the number of participants and sponsors, thus proving the interest of this unique initiative in the national aftermarket panorama. Over the years the Competition has evolved, and what until then had been an initiative organized by Jornal das Oficinas in partnership with ATEC, has become a sector-wide initiative in its own right.

 

Since 2024 we have a new partner, CEPRA.

​

 

Among specialists in mechanics and electronics, many active professionals have already competed for this initiative. It is also worth highlighting the sponsors who joined Best Mechatronics from the very beginning.

​

 

The Grand Final, which will take place in the expoMECÂNICA Hall in 2026, will provide a unique experience for all visitors, who will be able to see live the performance of the finalists in the various competitions in which they participate.

​

 

The Best Mechatronics is certainly the most demanding Competition held to date in our country, as witnessed by some mechanics who participated in other important competitions. Another major objective of this Competition is to spread the message of the importance of this profession for the future of repair workshops, because it is an essential activity in modern workshops, it brings added value and increases the profitability of the business.

​

 

In addition to the prizes that the finalists will receive, their personal appreciation and public recognition are immediate gains that everyone who participates in this competition can have.
