Day 1
5 April 2027- Europe’s grid investment emergency
- Transmission build-out and interconnection
- Electrifying Europe’s factories
- Water and energy: one infrastructure challenge
- Transformer and cable supply chain bottlenecks
Electrification across factories, transport and buildings, alongside growing demand from AI and data centres, is placing greater pressure on Europe’s electricity networks. Water availability and efficient utility services are equally critical to industrial operations and future investment.
Meeting these needs requires expanded grid capacity, modernised networks and greater flexibility. Equipment, digital technologies and engineering expertise will be essential to improving performance and delivering resilient energy and water infrastructure.
Exhibit in the Electrification, Grids, Utilities & Water Zone to demonstrate your solutions to utilities, network operators, infrastructure developers and major energy users. Build relationships with organisations seeking suppliers and partners to expand capacity, electrify operations and improve utility performance.
Europe’s infrastructure investment is creating opportunities for suppliers of grid equipment, electrification technologies and water solutions. Showcase how your business can help customers expand capacity, modernise networks and improve resource efficiency.
Estimated investment needed in EU electricity transmission and distribution grids by 2040.
Of Europe’s electricity distribution grids are more than 40 years old and need modernising.
Present the equipment, technologies and expertise needed to strengthen networks, manage demand and improve the efficiency of energy and water systems.
Exhibitor solutions include:
Demonstrate how your solutions address capacity constraints, improve reliability and support infrastructure delivery.
Across three days, this Industry Stage examines the investment, technologies and partnerships needed to modernise utilities, accelerate electrification and strengthen critical infrastructure. Discover how network operators, industrial users, policymakers and technology providers can address capacity constraints and deliver Europe’s connected energy system.
Selected session highlights
Co-location with HANNOVER MESSE creates opportunities to engage with industrial companies whose growth depends on reliable electricity, water and supporting infrastructure. Discuss factory electrification, network connections, energy management and resource efficiency with potential customers and project partners.
Present your capabilities in the Electrification, Grids, Utilities & Water Zone at Europe Energy Week.
