E-world energy & water Essen

E-world energy & water is Europe’s leading trade fair for the energy and water industry and has established itself as a central platform for shaping the future of energy supply. Every year, industry professionals gather at Messe Essen – one of Germany’s most modern exhibition venues – to exchange insights on current developments, technological innovations, and regulatory frameworks.

The event is organized by E-world energy & water GmbH, a specialized trade fair organizer focused on the core areas of the energy sector. With its clear emphasis on the European market, E-world is far more than a conventional trade fair: it is a strategic meeting point for decision-makers, developers, start-ups, energy providers, municipal utilities, industrial companies, IT specialists, trading platforms, as well as political and administrative representatives.

The trade fair addresses all key areas currently shaping the energy sector – from innovative energy generation and energy efficiency to intelligent supply solutions, energy trading, storage technologies, grid infrastructure, digitalization, smart grids, and green technologies. A particular emphasis is placed on Smart Energy, where data-driven applications, digital platforms, and intelligent control systems are showcased to support a flexible and sustainable energy future. Visitors gain practical insights into solutions across electricity, heat, water, and IT – ranging from hydrogen storage and smart meters to cloud-based grid management systems.

By combining a comprehensive exhibition with a high-profile conference program, E-world offers a unique platform for information exchange and networking in Europe. The E-world Congress is one of the event’s main highlights, featuring more than 20 specialist conferences that present the latest research findings, market analyses, and strategies for implementing the energy transition. The program is complemented by networking events, discussion forums, and innovation formats designed to promote targeted knowledge transfer.

Exhibitors at E-world represent a broad spectrum of the industry, including energy providers, municipal utilities, grid operators, IT companies, environmental technology suppliers, industrial firms, consulting companies, and research institutions. The event primarily targets a professional audience – including executives, planners, policymakers, scientists, and entrepreneurs – offering valuable impulses for their day-to-day work.

Essen stands as a symbol of transformation – from a traditional energy hub to a center for renewable and smart technologies. Messe Essen provides the ideal infrastructure for this development: centrally located, well-connected by motorways, rail, and airports, and equipped to meet the needs of international trade visitors.

As such, E-world energy & water is not only a reflection of the ongoing transformation within the energy and water industry – it is the place where innovation becomes tangible and the future of Europe’s energy supply is actively shaped.

The E-world energy & water will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 10. February to Thursday, 12. February 2026 in Essen.
