Messe Dortmund

elektrotechnik 2025 is all about innovations

In 2025, elektrotechnik will once again attract decision-makers from the electrical industry to Dortmund in western Germany. The trade fair is the ideal platform for the electrical trade and industry, giving architects, planners, ernergy consultants and energy suppliers a perfect platform for discovering more about cutting-edge technologies. The spotlight will be firmly on key topics of future importance: building technology, energy technology and industrial technology. Because smart living, energy efficiency and process automation are becoming ever-more important. This is borne out by the figures, with around 400 exhibitors from 12 countries and 18,700 international trade visitors travelling to Dortmund last time around.


Focus on tech trends


Solutions for the tasks of tomorrow: The trade fair provides the ideal setting for everyone who wants to actively shape the change. Exhibitors meet large numbers of decision-makers who are ready to invest. A varied supporting programme invites exchange and aids networking. 


Attractive business environment


Messe Dortmund is an impressive venue with a prestigious atmosphere. The North Entrance, the Visitors' Walkway and the entrance forecourt have all been extensively refurbished. The optimised infrastructure ensures smooth operations and the very best in service, making each trade show a winner.


Expert visitors


A high density of industrial and technology companies and proximity to the BENELUX countries are what distinguish Germany's Ruhr conurbation. The trade fair audience is correspondingly high-calibre, with around one third of visitors saying they don't go to any other show of a similar nature. Around two thirds of visitors are decision-makers or are involved in purchasing decisions.

 

Come along for this great event when the industry convenes at elektrotechnik in Dortmund between 12 and 14 February 2025.

Experience at elektrotechnik…

right at the beginning of the year.

the market's most important suppliers from all topics

in one place.

Focal points

Two trends are significantly shaping the world of building technology: digitalisation and automation. Intelligent buildings are in ever-greater demand. Whether privately used smart homes or commercial properties – ease and efficiency are the order of the day. Technology is developing rapidly. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting are all being re-thought. Networking is increasing everywhere. And the investment climate is promising. 


Smart buildings – a growth market


elektrotechnik 2025 will be presenting solutions. The attention of the trade fair's professional audience will especially be drawn to concepts offering greater energy efficiency. After all, the green energy transition is offering huge potential, with buildings accounting for 35% of global energy consumption. Of this, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) make up 55%. Valuable resources can be saved here. This is also of major relevance in times of rising energy prices. The show's major point of emphasis will therefore be on electrical heating systems, and on ventilation and air-conditioning technology. These include smart meters, energy storage and switching devices. 


Platform for innovations


Another major issue: BIM software. Detailed models are becoming increasingly important, helping provide a joined-up approach to planning, construction and facilities management. All these facets can be found in Dortmund. As an exhibitor, you will reach a wealth of new customers, with a trade audience also including specialist tradespeople and electrical wholesalers. Architects, planners and housing associations will be there looking for fresh inspiration. The event brings innovators and investors together.

The green energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. However, it is also spawning a great many innovations, because the move to renewable energies is a seriously complex one. The goal, however, is clear: reliable, sustainable power supplies. Getting there will involve integrated concepts where networking and digitalisation play a pivotal role. So it's no wonder that energy technology is set to be one of the most sought-after topics at elektrotechnik 2025. 


Focus on renewable energies


Integrated energy solutions are the future. Energy consumption is growing, and at the same time generation is becoming more decentralised and more volatile. Storage options need to be created, and consumption optimised. To achieve this, various components must be linked using smart technology. Of particular relevance are solar power, energy storage, switching technology and charging infrastructure. You'll find all these focal points at elektrotechnik 2025.


Platform for innovative energy concepts


The show attracts large numbers of decision-makers, both in municipalities and in the energy industry. Representatives from the trades, industry and municipal companies convene here. Many of them are all ready to invest. Their interests lie in smart applications and innovative technologies, with networked energy systems, charging management and storage among the hot topics.

The smart factory revolution (a.k.a. the 4th industrial revolution or ‘Industry 4.0’) is opening up opportunities that are indeed revolutionary, with global trends such as digitalisation and the move to renewables especially shaping the sector. At elektrotechnik 2025, smart industry will be grabbing the attention of more and more trade visitors looking for ways to boost efficiency. 

Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) promise to deliver answers. In 2025, the focus of the show will thus be on applications that optimise processes and help to make the best possible use of resources. 


Using Smart Manufacturing to deliver Industry 4.0


Innovative approaches have rarely been more in demand in the industry. Predictive maintenance and energy management are also among the big issues. The foundation for this is data. The importance of software for data processing and visualisation is growing. Interdisciplinary networking is on the up-and-up, and modern measurement technology and production control systems (MES) are becoming ever more precise. The market is correspondingly fast-moving.


Technology meets digitalisation


This can also be seen in elektrotechnik 2025, where industry meets craftsmanship. The exhibitors are from the fields of sensor technology, control technology and control cabinet construction, among others. Among the visitors are many decision-makers who are ready to buy. These include production managers and people in planning and purchasing, service technology and maintenance – looking for innovative answers to use in the smart factories of tomorrow.
