Invitation to our trade fairs

elektrotechnik 2027 stands for innovation.

In 2027, the elektrotechnik will once again draw decision-makers from the electrical sector to Dortmund. The trade fair provides the ideal platform for the electrical trades and industry alike. Architects, planners, energy consultants, and energy suppliers come here to learn about innovative technologies. The focus is on key future-oriented topics: building technology, energy technology, and industrial technology—areas where smart living, energy efficiency, and process automation are becoming increasingly important. The figures speak for themselves: the most recent edition attracted around 400 exhibitors from 15 countries and 20,000 international trade visitors to North Rhine-Westphalia.

Focus on Technology Trends

Solutions for the challenges of tomorrow: the trade fair offers the ideal setting for anyone wishing to play an active role in shaping this transformation. Exhibitors meet a wide range of decision-makers ready to invest. A varied supporting program encourages the exchange of ideas and fosters networking.

An Attractive Business Environment

Messe Dortmund impresses with its prestigious atmosphere. The North Entrance, visitor concourse, and exhibition forecourt have all undergone extensive modernization. This optimized infrastructure ensures smooth operations and excellent service, paving the way for a successful trade fair.

Expert Visitors

The Ruhr metropolitan region is distinguished by a high concentration of industrial and technology companies and its proximity to the Benelux countries. Consequently, the trade fair attracts a high-caliber audience: around one-third of visitors attend no other trade fair covering similar topics, and approximately two-thirds are decision-makers or involved in purchasing decisions.

Join the industry at the elektrotechnik in Dortmund from February 16 to 18, 2027.
