Enlit Europe 2026

Enlit Europe is the continent's largest energy-transition trade event, drawing roughly 15,000 attendees and 750+ exhibitors from utilities, grid operators, technology vendors and policymakers; the 2026 edition moves to Vienna under the theme Integration, Resilience, Competitiveness. Programming spans grid modernisation and flexibility, energy storage, digitalisation and AI in operations, hydrogen and decarbonisation strategy, delivered through a paid Summit alongside a free expo with country pavilions and EU-funded project zones. A dedicated startup zone and hundreds of side events make it a practical place to meet European DSOs and TSOs, which are the hardest customers for grid-tech founders to reach individually. Investors use it to map which European energy incumbents are actually procuring.
