Three days at VIECON, the former Messe Wien, with Europe's utilities, grid operators and energy tech in one place. Habyt Vienna is a 25-minute walk from the halls, with your own kitchen, free coworking and a sauna for the evening.
Enlit Europe is the annual meeting point for Europe's power and utility sector: utilities, grid operators, energy tech vendors, investors, start-ups and policymakers. It combines a free exhibition and Hub Sessions with a paid Summit programme. Visitors come from more than 140 countries. The largest groups come from Italy, Germany, the UK, France and the Netherlands.
New for 2026:
The Summit runs on three stages: Evolve (today's energy system), Inspire (tomorrow's energy system) and the new Invest Stage. Sessions in the 2026 programme include "What's Next in Austria's Energy Transition?", "Tackling the Grid Impact of Data Centres" and "Optimising DERs to Unleash Full Flexibility".
On the show floor, the free Hub Sessions cover grids, storage, digitalisation, flexibility, mobility, generation and industrial decarbonisation. The Innovators Zone hosts start-ups and a pitch competition. The EU Projects Zone presents EU-funded work. Check the exhibitor list to plan your route through Halls A to C.
Good to know: there is no printed show guide, so install the event app. Nobody under 16 is admitted. Tickets are personal and cannot be transferred. There is no payment on site, and online registration closes on 12 November at 15:00 CET. More answers are in the official FAQ.
Bank transfer for the Summit Pass closes in late October. After that, you can pay by card only. The organiser's pages differ slightly on what the free pass includes, so check the ticket page before you book.
