For four days, Hamburg will bring together trade visitors, decision-makers and young professionals from around the world to network and explore the latest solutions for onshore and offshore wind energy. In 2026, the new Energy Storage area, covering energy storage systems and intelligent energy management, will be a key focus as core technologies of the energy transition. Complemented by a high-quality conference program and the Recruiting Days on 24 and 25 September, WindEnergy Hamburg reinforces its position as the only global meeting place for the wind energy industry.

At ICSCRM 2026, Fraunhofer IISB will showcase cutting-edge research in materials development, process and device design and analysis, and advanced manufacturing technologies, including leveraging innovative simulation methods. We aim to drive advancements in materials, process, and device optimization, paving the way for the next generation of technological solutions.

PEASA 2026 Europe brings together leading researchers, industry experts, practitioners, and innovators for in-depth discussions on the latest advances and challenges in the electrification of future aircraft. It is hosted by Fraunhofer IISB and organized by the Technical Committee on Aerospace Power (TC11) of the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS), with support from the European Center for Power Electronics (ECPE).

FIRST - Fast Innovation through Research in Semiconductor Technologies - is a high-level forum for those who shape industrial innovation through technology. FIRST brings together decision-makers from industry, research, and politics to discuss emerging technologies, industrial roadmaps, and future infrastructure.

The IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) is the world’s premier international conference and exhibition for power electronics, electrical drives, and electromechanical energy conversion. Jointly sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS), it serves as a hub for energy conversion innovation. ECCE bridges the gap between breakthrough academic research and practical industry application, driving the technologies required for a sustainable, electrified future.

In 2026, the Carbon2Chem® joint research project will once again host its annual conference on sustainable chemical conversion in industry. The focus will be on the latest research findings, the further development of chemical conversion processes, and insights from politics, business, and science.

Chillventa is known for its unrivaled global overview of refrigeration technology, insulation technology, I&C technology, automation, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps.

Hydrogen Technology World Expo is a solutions-oriented forum to discuss the development of new technologies to bring hydrogen into the mainstream for stationary and mobile applications. At Hydrogen Technology Expo 2026 we will be showcasing selected developments from our Division Decentralized & Mobile Hydrogen Technology.

SCALING HYDROGEN, STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE Hydrogen is a key player in the fight to curb climate change, due to its multiple end-uses and scope within the energy system, as recognised already by the EU Hydrogen Strategy and by the EU Green Deal. With the latest political developments, namely the decreasing affordability of energy, availability of raw materials and the need to boost the sustainable competitiveness of the European industry, it has acquired an even more central role, presenting itself simultaneously as an ally of decarbonisation, growth, and autonomy for Europe. Despite the challenges ahead, this is a massive opportunity to develop a strong European hydrogen supply chain, break free of fossil fuels, and deliver the ambitious climate goals required to keep the planet’s temperature increase under 1.5C. Join the week of all-things hydrogen and play your part in this journey! Registrations to the European Hydrogen Week are free of charge and will open in June 2026.

RE+26 brings the modern energy industry together to meet the power demands of the future. What began as Solar Power International (SPI) has evolved into RE+, uniting an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities, while showcasing a resilient industry.
