EIF 2026 Energy Future Summit & Energy Transition Expo

EIF is a long-running Turkish energy platform that pairs a trade exhibition with a multi-track congress. Its 20th edition moves to Antalya on the Mediterranean coast and covers the whole energy transition chain, from generation and storage to grid equipment, carbon management and digital energy tools, with a strong focus on deal-making through hosted buyer delegations and pre-arranged B2B meetings.

Exhibition sectors

The show floor is organised around eight sectors spanning the energy value chain.

• Solar energy: panels, inverters, mounting and monitoring
• Wind energy: turbine components, towers, blades and field services
• Energy storage: battery and hybrid systems, grid-scale storage, EMS software
• Geothermal energy: drilling, heat exchangers and plant technology
• Electricity and grid: transformers, cables, switchgear and automation
• Hydropower: turbines, penstocks and modernisation
• Carbon and sustainability: carbon footprint, green certification, CBAM compliance
• Digital energy: AI, data analytics, smart meters and energy trading platforms

Congress programme

Four parallel congresses run alongside the exhibition in dedicated halls.

• EIF International Energy Congress: energy policy, investment climate and 2035 targets
• EIF Energy Storage Congress: utility-scale storage, hybrid plants and battery supply chains
• EIF Carbon Congress: CBAM, carbon markets and corporate carbon management
• Electra Expo Congress: grid modernisation, distribution and electrification

B2B meetings

The organiser invites investor companies from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Gulf and runs an appointment system so exhibitors and visitors can book face-to-face meetings in a separate open-office meeting area. The organiser expects 32 international buyer delegations and 25 country trade delegations.

Key figures

Targets published by the organiser for the 2026 edition: 200 exhibiting companies, more than 30,000 professional visitors and 30,000 m² of exhibition space. The event is on the Turkish Ministry of Trade's list of sector-specific domestic fairs, so eligible exhibitors can claim booth support.
