Chillventa 2026 Approaches: HVACR Industry to Gather in Nuremberg

The countdown has begun for Chillventa 2026, one of the leading international meeting points for the refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump industries. Scheduled to take place from October 13–15, 2026, in Nuremberg, Germany, the exhibition is preparing to bring together more than 1,000 exhibitors and industry professionals.

Less than a month remains until Chillventa 2026, one of the major international events on the HVACR industry's October calendar. The exhibition, which will take place at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre from October 13–15, 2026, will showcase the latest solutions in refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump technologies.

Held every two years, Chillventa will bring together manufacturers, engineers, facility operators, installers, distributors, wholesalers and industry professionals in Germany.

Final Preparations Underway for Chillventa 2026

Preparations have entered their final stage for Chillventa 2026, which will open its doors on October 13. With more than 1,000 exhibitors expected to participate this year, the event will focus not only on product and system technologies but also on current topics related to the industry's technological transformation.

The exhibition's product portfolio will include refrigeration systems and components, air conditioning and ventilation technologies, heat pumps, control and automation solutions, as well as equipment and services for various HVACR applications.

The addition of another exhibition hall in 2026 will provide more space for the growing number of exhibitors and product categories, while offering visitors a more comprehensive exhibition experience.

Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence on the Chillventa 2026 Agenda

One of the key innovations at Chillventa 2026 will be the Zukunftsraum platform. Through practical examples, the platform will explore how digitalization can be integrated into everyday working processes across the HVACR industry.

Artificial intelligence, digital workflows and technologies capable of improving efficiency in field operations will be among the main topics of the program. In this way, Chillventa will provide a platform not only for traditional HVACR technologies but also for the industry's increasingly important digital transformation agenda.

Heat Pumps and Refrigeration Technologies to Take Center Stage

The global transition toward energy efficiency and low-carbon heating and cooling solutions will also be reflected in the technology agenda of Chillventa 2026.

Heat pumps, energy-efficient refrigeration systems, component technologies, control solutions and next-generation system applications will be among the main areas available for industry professionals to explore at the exhibition.

Alongside emerging technologies, solutions related to system design, operation, maintenance and installation processes will also form part of the exhibition's extensive product and service portfolio.

Chillventa Congress to Begin One Day Before the Exhibition

Chillventa Congress, which serves as the event's technical knowledge-sharing platform, will take place on October 12, 2026, one day before the exhibition opens.

The congress will bring together industry experts to discuss the latest technical developments in refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pump technologies. Forums and specialist programs held throughout the exhibition will further support technical knowledge exchange.

Young technology companies will also have a dedicated place in the 2026 program. The startup area will introduce industry professionals to new solutions addressing planning, operation, service, automation and digitalization processes within the HVACR industry.

International HVACR Industry to Gather in Nuremberg on October 13

With only weeks remaining until Chillventa 2026, the industry's attention is turning to Nuremberg. The three-day exhibition will serve as an important meeting point not only for new product launches but also for technology transfer, international business networking, technical knowledge exchange and discussions on developments shaping the industry's future.

Chillventa 2026 will open its doors on Tuesday, October 13, and continue until Thursday, October 15. Together with Chillventa Congress, which will take place immediately before the exhibition, Nuremberg will become one of the major international meeting centers for the HVACR industry in October.
