In a rapidly changing industry, meeting places and dialogue are more important than ever

On 4–6 February, Elmia Solar brings together players in the industry – from solar and energy, to storage, charging and installation. Elmia Solar is being held for the second consecutive year , consolidating its position as the leading forum for the solar energy industry. With 12 countries represented and a strong cross-sector programme, Jönköping will once again become a hub for business, innovation and knowledge exchange.

Last year’s Elmia Solar showed good matching between visitors and exhibitors, and the aim in 2025 is to enhance this even further. This year’s event brings together 121 exhibitors from 12 countries, representing different parts of the industry. With a wide variety of exhibitors, a stage programme and discussion forums, this year’s fair provides a solid platform for business, networking and industry development.

International and local engagement in a highly innovative industry
Elmia Solar is collaborating with industry organisations The Swedish Solar Energy Association and Renewables Norway. Glava Energy Center, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, and the Swedish construction industry Safety Park are also partnering with the fair.

“Alongside the industry, we’re continuing to develop Elmia Solar this year. This is a growing, knowledge-intensive industry, and the fair aims to serve as a forum for business and networking – and also in driving development forward. We feel that Elmia Solar has found a natural place as an arena for the industry to come together,” says Elin Rickardsson, Business Manager for the fair.

Stage programme with a future-looking focus
The stage programme for this year’s Elmia Solar will focus on topical industry issues, on two stages and under three central themes: The Energy Dilemma, Safety & Competence, and The Future of Energy.
Participants will be able to find out about the latest developments in a wide range of areas, including: developments in services related to batteries, different perspectives on energy communities, V2G, and smart control.
