As electricity demand continues to grow, power generation operators face increasing pressure to deliver reliable, flexible and efficient energy while responding to decarbonisation targets and changing market conditions.

Against this backdrop, MEGAWATT 2026 gives you the opportunity to discover how established technologies, engineering expertise and emerging solutions can help address these challenges.

With 101 exhibiting companies, participants from more than 47 countries and over 2,500 industry professionals expected, MEGAWATT 2026 brings together the international power generation community. Here, you can explore innovative technologies, connect with leading suppliers, exchange technical expertise and establish valuable business relationships across the energy and turbomachinery sectors.

The exhibition places particular emphasis on gas turbines, turbomachinery, dispatchable power generation, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), asset life extension, operational flexibility and performance optimisation. Complementary areas include advanced nuclear technologies, hydrogen, carbon capture, digitalisation and industrial decarbonisation.

Rather than focusing solely on future energy scenarios, MEGAWATT connects the industry’s operational challenges with practical technologies and solutions available to support investment, reliability and long-term performance.

Discover technologies, expertise and practical solutions

One of the key reasons to visit MEGAWATT 2026 is the opportunity to engage directly with equipment manufacturers, technology developers, independent service providers and engineering specialists working across the power generation value chain.

You’ll meet companies specialising in rotating equipment, turbine components, plant upgrades, maintenance services, control systems, monitoring technologies and performance improvement.

Whether you are a plant owner, operator or engineering professional, you can explore solutions for extending equipment lifetime, improving plant efficiency, increasing operational flexibility and maintaining reliability under increasingly demanding operating conditions.

Major industry players represented in the conference programme include Baker Hughes, Ansaldo Energia, GE Vernova, Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Power, contributing perspectives on the technologies and challenges shaping modern power generation.

Alongside the exhibition, the two-day conference, developed in partnership with ETN Global, brings together industry leaders, utilities, technology providers and engineering specialists to examine the practical challenges facing the sector.

At the heart of the programme are six Industrial Challenge & Solution sessions, designed to move beyond general industry discussions and focus on specific operational needs, available technologies and measurable industrial benefits.

Topics include meeting new electricity demand, maintaining reliable and flexible dispatchable generation, improving the performance of existing assets and extending equipment lifetime under increasingly cyclic operating conditions.

Technical discussions address gas turbine technology, maintenance strategies, predictive analytics, component upgrades, operational efficiency, fuel flexibility and solutions supporting emissions reduction.

The programme also explores the evolving role of nuclear power, with a dedicated session examining industrial readiness for advanced nuclear technologies. Particular attention will be given to manufacturing capabilities, supplier qualification and supply-chain development needed to support the deployment and expansion of small modular reactors (SMRs) and other nuclear technologies, building on international experience and ongoing projects.

Throughout the conference, you’ll gain insights from technology providers and the companies responsible for operating, maintaining and investing in energy infrastructure, exploring how industrial requirements can be matched with solutions that deliver practical results.

Make MEGAWATT 2026 part of your industry calendar

Beyond the technologies on display, MEGAWATT 2026 offers opportunities for face-to-face discussions, technical exchanges and business development.

Whether you work in power generation, plant operations, equipment manufacturing, engineering, maintenance, project development or energy infrastructure, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the companies and specialists addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges.

The combination of an international exhibition, technical conference sessions and networking opportunities makes MEGAWATT a valuable meeting point to discover new suppliers, access engineering expertise, develop potential partnerships and identify practical solutions for your projects and operations.

With a conference programme featuring international industry experts, MEGAWATT 2026 offers two days to explore practical solutions, exchange technical expertise and build valuable connections across the power generation value chain.

Join us in Bergamo on 18–19 November to discover innovative technologies, connect with industry leaders and explore new business opportunities.

MEGAWATT 2026 takes place on 18–19 November 2026 at the Milan Bergamo Exhibition Center, Bergamo, Italy.

You can register for an Expo Pass to visit the exhibition, while Delegate Passes are available for access to the full conference programme.
