EuroShop 2026 is underway in Düsseldorf, marking 60 years since the trade fair’s first edition in 1966. Running from 22–26 February, the event brings together around 1,900 exhibitors from more than 50 countries across 14 halls, with a major focus this year on energy-efficient technologies and sustainable refrigeration for retail.
For refrigeration and HVACR professionals, the centre of gravity is in Halls 14–16, where suppliers present solutions aimed at reducing energy consumption, improving lifecycle performance, and supporting the transition toward natural refrigerants in commercial refrigeration.
Refrigeration and energy management take centre stage
EuroShop’s Refrigeration & Energy Management dimension reflects the growing need for efficient cooling and smarter building operation in food retail, wholesale, and food production. Exhibitors in the refrigeration halls are highlighting technologies designed to improve system availability and efficiency over the full lifecycle—alongside energy monitoring and optimisation tools that help operators manage performance at store and fleet level.
What to look for in Halls 14–16
Across Halls 14–16, visitors can expect a strong mix of:
-
Commercial refrigeration systems and components for retail applications
-
Natural-refrigerant readiness and efficiency-driven system concepts
-
Automation, controls, monitoring, and engineering solutions that support stable operation and lower operating costs
-
Retrofit and modernisation approaches aimed at extending system life and improving performance
Supporting programme links refrigeration to wider retail priorities
Beyond the exhibition floor, EuroShop 2026 offers an extensive conference programme with over 270 talks across seven stages, covering topics from AI and digital transformation to store design, food service concepts, and sustainable retail. Guided Innovation Tours are also running during the anniversary edition, including routes focused on energy management and optimisation.
