Upcoming Trade Shows Stuttgart, Germany for Embedded Systems

Stuttgart is once again at the forefront of innovation in the embedded systems industry as it hosts the highly anticipated eltefa 2024. The international trade fair, held every two years, has risen to the very top in terms of product variety – extending to building technology, e-mobility, renewable energies, and energy technology – and high-quality networking opportunities. Ever with its fingers on the pulse of what’s new, the trade fair monitors closely the transition away from fossil fuels and plays a role in driving advancements in greener alternatives and energy-saving solutions. The demand for photovoltaic systems, particularly those integrated with storage systems, continues to surge, driven by rising electricity costs, government subsidies, and tax reliefs. In Baden-Württemberg and other federal states, regulations mandating the installation of solar panels on new buildings further fuel this demand. At eltefa, exhibitors will present a wide array of innovative solutions to meet this growing interest. This is where the embedded industry in Stuttgart becomes an important component of driving this trend forward. Photovoltaic systems are very versatile in their application whether we’re talking rooftops or open spaces, parking areas or noise protection facilities along traffic routes. These systems convert sunlight into electrical power, which can either be used on-site or fed into the power grid, significantly contributing to the energy transition. When combined with storage systems, heat pumps and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and managed through advanced energy management systems, photovoltaic systems enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. One of the highlights of 2024 is the forum titled The All-Electric Building - Focus: Photovoltaics, which promises valuable insights into harmonizing customer needs with available photovoltaic systems and the necessary infrastructure. Speakers will cover criteria for evaluating whether a roof is PV-ready, the symbiosis of photovoltaics and green roofs, and the straightforward connection of photovoltaic systems to the grid.
