Europe Energy Week will carry these strategic conversations forward in Hannover, 5–8 April 2027, convening energy leaders and the industrial sectors driving demand to shape the priorities, partnerships and investment needed for Europe’s next energy era.
Waste-to-energy is gaining momentum as Europe seeks to strengthen energy security while cutting emissions. By converting non-recyclable waste into electricity, heat and fuel, the sector could reduce landfill emissions and reliance on imported fossil fuels. However, its role should complement, not replace, recycling and waste prevention.
Romania is emerging as a key renewable energy market in Central and Eastern Europe, with Nofar Energy accelerating large-scale solar and battery storage projects. With 315 MW of new solar capacity now energised and a wider portfolio of 870 MW solar PV and 1.9 GWh of storage, Romania is strengthening its position as a regional clean energy hub while supporting European energy security.
Europe has significantly diversified its gas supplies since the 2022 energy crisis, expanding LNG infrastructure to reduce reliance on Russian gas. But infrastructure alone is not enough. Greater regulatory alignment, price transparency, cross-border access and stronger network integration are needed to build a more resilient and integrated European LNG market.
Europe’s industrial competitiveness is increasingly defined by access to secure and affordable energy. As demand rises (driven by electrification, AI and advanced manufacturing), a gap is emerging between supply and industrial needs. Closing it requires faster infrastructure investment, accelerated clean energy deployment, and stronger alignment between industry, policy and capital to sustain global competitiveness.
Europe Energy Week’s launch at Hannover Messe’s Energy Day highlights the urgent need to align energy systems with industrial demand. As energy consumption rises, Europe must scale infrastructure, investment and supply to remain competitive. The platform brings together energy, industry and capital to move from strategy to delivery, ensuring energy systems can support long-term economic growth and industrial resilience.
Europe Energy Week takes centre stage at Hannover Messe’s "Energy Day", positioning energy as a critical enabler of industrial growth. The platform brings together leaders from energy, manufacturing and technology to address how rising demand, system complexity and infrastructure constraints are reshaping Europe’s industrial landscape. It focuses on turning ambition into execution by connecting supply, innovation and industrial demand in one integrated marketplace.
dmg events and Deutsche Messe AG announce the launch of Europe Energy Week, a new exhibition and conference taking place 5–7 April 2027 in Hannover, Germany, co-located with Hannover Messe. Designed to address the growing pressure on energy systems to support industrial growth, the platform connects the full energy value chain with industrial demand, bringing together leaders across energy, infrastructure, technology and investment.
dmg events is an international exhibition and conference organiser, publisher and information provider to the Energy, Construction, Plastics, Coatings, Manufacturing, Transport, Design and Hospitality industries.
