Europe's largest trade fair alliance for the energy industry closed with impressive figures and a clear appeal: the energy transition is a reality - and it is being driven by an increasingly integrated, digital and cross-sector system. For three days, Munich became the international meeting place for the future of energy.
With 2,737 exhibitors from 57 countries and around 107,000 trade visitors from 157 nations, The smarter E Europe 2025 once again demonstrated its global significance. The four leading trade fairs - Intersolar Europe, ees Europe, Power2Drive Europe and EM-Power Europe - presented technologies and solutions for a fully renewable energy system.
The focus was not only on new products, but also on a systemic view of the energy supply of tomorrow. The accompanying conferences and side events also attracted many participants and were used intensively for networking and project development.
This year's presentation of The smarter E AWARDs reflected the transformation of the industry. Samsung SDI received awards in the Energy Storage and E-Mobility categories - a success that, according to company representatives, is due to the consistent integration of generation, storage, grid solutions and digitalization.
The Spanish company Toscano was also honored. Its "COMBI-PRO-MAX" backup control unit is exemplary for the claim of not only providing sustainable energy, but also guaranteeing security of supply and efficiency in equal measure.
In his summary, Markus Elsässer, Managing Director of Solar Promotion GmbH, emphasized the depth of content and strategic relevance of the event: The smarter E Europe not only showed solutions, but also formed the blueprint for the climate-neutral energy world of the future.
The special show on bidirectional charging was particularly highlighted, which made it clear how closely trade fair content and market trends are now interlinked. Jens Mohrmann from the FWTM also spoke of an exceptionally positive atmosphere at the exhibition grounds - despite all the challenges within the industry.
The next edition of The smarter E Europe has already been announced: the event will take place again at Munich trade fair from June 23 to 25, 2026 - for the first time with a new daily sequence from Tuesday to Thursday.
