GET NORD in Hamburg is the leading trade fair for technical building equipment in northern Germany and offers a comprehensive platform for innovation, exchange, and networking. The next edition will take place from November 19 to 21, 2026, bringing together over 600 national and international exhibitors with around 39,000 to 40,000 trade visitors from the electrical, sanitary, heating, and air conditioning sectors. The event sees itself as an industry meeting place where practitioners, planners, consultants, and manufacturers come together to advance technologies, concepts, and forward-looking solutions. The focus is not only on products, but also on strategies and business models tailored to the challenges of modern building infrastructure.
GET NORD is organized by the renowned Hamburg Trade Fair and takes place on the grounds of Hamburg Messe & Congress GmbH. This modern infrastructure offers spacious halls, high-performance conference areas, efficient logistics, and excellent transport connections via subway, suburban rail, regional and long-distance rail, as well as air and road transport. Exhibitors and visitors thus benefit from optimal conditions – both for official trade fair activities and for individual appointments, live demonstrations, and networking initiatives. By bringing together the trades of electrical installation, heating, sanitation, and ventilation technology, GET NORD promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of modern building concepts. This integrative approach gives visitors a deep insight into the interaction of the individual trades – and thus supports the implementation of intelligent, energy-efficient buildings.
From traditional crafts to high-tech industry: GET NORD showcases the entire spectrum of technical building equipment. Of particular note is the special show Energy@GET NORD, which deals explicitly with renewable energies and intelligent energy management. The focus here is on technologies such as photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, modular scalable energy distribution systems, and decentralized network concepts. The aim is to present practical concepts for climate neutrality and reducing CO₂ emissions in buildings. In addition to classic products such as underfloor heating, sanitary fittings, and air conditioning components, manufacturers are increasingly showcasing innovative materials, multifunctional system solutions, and smart control technology. One focus is on digitalization: from building automation systems and IoT sensor technology to network solutions and AI-controlled energy management. Suppliers are presenting not only individual components, but also open platforms for the systemic integration of heterogeneous technologies.
A central element of GET NORD is the accompanying program, which facilitates professional exchange at various levels. The International ArchitectureForum is dedicated to the planning aspects of modern building services in conjunction with architecture, living comfort, and energy efficiency. At the same time, the ELEKTRO+ Forum offers insights into current standards, safety requirements, and future developments in the electrical industry. Another highlight is the AI Center, which highlights the potential of artificial intelligence in the planning, operation, and maintenance of buildings. This is complemented by seminars on occupational safety, drinking water hygiene, and industry-specific standards. These training formats are specifically aimed at technicians, master craftsmen, engineers, and facility managers who are looking for concrete recommendations for action and applicable specialist knowledge.
GET NORD offers young companies and start-ups a targeted platform to present their technologies and business models. As part of Startup@GET NORD, founders have the opportunity to pitch their ideas, network with investors, and collaborate with established industry players. This offering is complemented by competitions for young talent, such as the German SHK Championship and PowerPark, which specifically promote technical competence and professional excellence. In addition, the Jobwall focuses on skilled worker training and personnel recruitment. Companies and trainees can meet directly here—a key component in actively addressing the industry-specific shortage of skilled workers while highlighting student and career prospects.
Sustainability is a high priority at GET NORD. Manufacturers and service providers demonstrate how energy-efficient building technology can make a decisive contribution to climate protection and resource conservation. Modular systems, the reduction of material consumption, systemic energy optimization, and the use of environmentally friendly materials will be presented. The expert forums will also discuss how building technology can help reduce traffic congestion, for example through decentralized power supply and electrically powered heat generation. The combination of smart control systems with renewable energies is seen as the benchmark for sustainable buildings of the future.
GET NORD sees itself as an innovation engine for digitally networked building technology. Building Information Modeling (BIM), IoT integration, data-driven operating systems, and digital documentation processes are clearly the focus. Providers of control software, sensor solutions, and artificial intelligence will demonstrate how buildings can be operated autonomously, efficiently, and in a user-oriented manner. Live demos and presentations bring to life how digital technologies are revolutionizing work processes, maintenance, and long-term planning—from the early stages of system integration to sustainable operation throughout a building's entire life cycle.
The chosen venue underscores the scope of the event. The Hamburg Messe & Congress GmbH exhibition center scores points with its modern infrastructure and excellent transport links via underground and suburban rail, regional and long-distance rail, airport connections, and motorway access. The location is not only logistically attractive but also prestigious—ideal for international exhibitors and guests. Hotels, restaurants, conference areas, and business hotspots are located in the immediate vicinity. Companies often use the trade fair for accompanying events such as seminars, workshops, or sales-related evening events, which can be seamlessly integrated into the professional environment.
GET NORD offers comprehensive, in-depth insight into the future of building technology. Its integrative concept – trades under one roof, practical specialist programs, promotion of young talent, sustainability, and digitalization – makes the trade fair an indispensable platform for all players who want to shape the buildings of the future. It connects, inspires, and sets standards – technically sound, economically relevant, and future-oriented. Trade visitors, planners, decision-makers, and innovators should make a note of GET NORD as an important industry event. Further information can be found on the organizer's website: www.get-nord.de
