• 535 international exhibitors showcased at the event;

Industry Relevance 

Enlit has existed since 1992 has been at the forefront of changes in policy, market trends and innovations in the conventional power sector. The event has been a global leader in its examination of news regarding Europe’s installed thermal power base's After Market, the existing asset maintenance and decentralised generation. 

Together with European Utility Week, which are co-located at different venues around Europe, Enlit manages to provide depth and width to the entire power generation, distribution, and digital transformation sector. This year, programming is taking place at Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt, Germany. 

The fair creates a complete overview of the energy industry. Exhibitors showcase their latest and best in smart Energy Revolution solutions – novel power plant infrastructure, energy system security networks, interoperability, data exchange, digitalisation, IT and OT convergence, AI solutions, cloud adoption, green grids and data management. 

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Enlit enjoys one of the most diverse audiences in the world. It’s easy to say, because the list of fields and sectors that trade visitors come from is truly impressive. There’s the usual suspects like utilities, independent power producers, government energy departments as well as electrical and electronic manufacturers, but there’s also consulting firms, investment & finance companies, IT and software solutions providers, software developers and more. 

Plus, the last edition reported that 60% of visitors were first timers. The great thing about Enlit – it travels, so each edition brings its own core of national visitors. In the past, this has been Italy and France. Outside the host country, trade visitors travel from major European countries like the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and countries in the Benelux, CEE and DACH regions. 

What this means is that you as an exhibitor get to meet with a fresh audience and not just rely on the same pool of visitors. Over half of all visitors have a role in making decisions regarding purchases. This translates into a high number of sales and sales leads. Not to mention the satisfaction rate of 85% of visitors, who claim to follow up with exhibitors after the event. Business is guaranteed! 

As far as roles within their organisations, the audience is made up from C-Level executives, VPs, directors, presidents, middle managers, heads of departments, technical engineers and project managers. Their interest lies in connecting with old partners and inspecting what’s new from companies like Gridspertise, Weathernews inc, FOMAP, Stedin, Elsis, Prime Alliance, Landis + Gyr and SLM Solutions. 

Additional Value in Attendance 

Fostering new ideas and companies ranks high as a priority for Enlit. The Innovators Zone along with its Start-up Community Hub provide newcomers and start-ups with the necessary visibility, tools and resources to get their foot in the industry. Participants will be able to present their ideas and solutions to the right audience and host one-to-one meetings in a comfortable environment. It’s a long-standing initiative, and alumni are also invited to participate in various capacities. 

A unique feature of the trade fair is the EU Projects Zone, which is a hub that covers the efforts done in EU countries to meet the Green New Deal’s parameters. There will be a lot to discuss in terms of Smart Grid, Energy Storage, Islands, Digitalisation, and RES (especially Wind and Solar). The zone is particularly attractive to representatives from the EU Commission and associations, who take on a central role during panel discussions throughout the programme. 

Hydrogen has emerged as the key new market that everyone’s looking at. Current estimates predict its overall market size will hit $300 billion in the next five years. So the Hydrogen Zone is there to host the companies that are currently pioneering this market. Expect in-depth case studies as well as presentations and speeches.
