From the 26-28 of November, the RENEXPO® Austria, International Trade Fair for Renewable Energy and Passive Houses will take place for the first time at the Trade Fair Center Salzburg. The conference, organized in corporation with Messe Salzburg (Trade Fair Salzburg), will display the entire spectrum of renewable energies and energy-efficient construction and renovation. The emphasis of this fair will be bioenergy and passive house.

The Federal State of Salzburg is among the most dynamic economic regions in Europe and has assumed a top position in Austria for many years. Furthermore, a European-wide location ranking shows that Salzburg is among the best locations for innovation, which makes the trade fair site in Austria especially attractive. It is no wonder that the Trade Fair Center Austria, which with 400,000 visitors and 34 trade fairs a year has established itself as a leader in Austria, was chosen as the venue for RENEXPO® Austria. The city of Salzburg also has a lot to offer tourists, as the old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Nearly 100 exhibitors from the fields of production, planning, and energy supply, as well as experts from research and development, associations, media, governmental agencies, and administrations are expected to attend. They will present their products, services, and latest innovations to an estimated 4000 visitors.

High-ranking conferences will also take place during the three trade fair days. Here, nearly 500 conference participants as well as political and economic experts, associations, media and the actual users will gather to gain current information about the field, research, and development.
