Four co-located exhibitions at Messe Munchen covering solar, energy storage, electric mobility charging and smart grid infrastructure, with conferences at the ICM the day before and during.
The smarter E Europe is an alliance of four energy exhibitions held together at Messe Munchen: Intersolar Europe for photovoltaics and solar thermal, ees Europe for batteries and energy storage, Power2Drive Europe for electric mobility and charging infrastructure, and EM-Power Europe for energy management and smart grids. The 2027 edition runs from 8 to 10 June, with the conference programme at the ICM Munchen on 7 and 8 June. Organisers expect more than 2,000 exhibiting companies and over 100,000 attendees from more than 160 countries.
The four shows were merged because their markets merged. A rooftop solar installer now sells batteries; a battery manufacturer sells into vehicle charging; a charge point operator needs grid management software. Rather than run four fairs, the organisers put them under one roof and one badge, and let visitors follow the value chain across halls. For manufacturers, particularly the Chinese and European photovoltaic and battery suppliers who dominate the floor, it is the largest European sales appointment of the year.
The Intersolar Europe Conference and the parallel conferences run at the ICM Munchen on 7 and 8 June 2027, one day ahead of and overlapping with the exhibition. This separation is deliberate: the conference is a paid, content-led programme for developers and analysts, while the exhibition halls are a commercial floor. Attendees frequently buy only one of the two.
The smarter E is the manufacturing and installation end of the transition. Enlit Europe is the utility and grid end. E-world is the trading, retail and municipal utility end. WindEurope is wind. There is little overlap in exhibitor list or in visitor job title between them, and treating them as substitutes is a common planning mistake.
Intersolar Europe is one of the four exhibitions inside The smarter E Europe. It is the oldest and best known of them, which is why many people still call the whole thing Intersolar.
Yes. The exhibitions run under one visitor badge at Messe Munchen. The conference programme at the ICM is ticketed separately.
The smarter E Europe is organised by Solar Promotion GmbH and FWTM, the Freiburg economic development and trade fair company, which have run Intersolar since its origins in the German solar industry.
Europe's largest solar and storage floor, four exhibitions stapled together because photovoltaics, batteries, charging and grids stopped being separate markets.
Exhibition tickets are sold on the official website with advance discounts, covering all four shows across the three days. Conference passes for the Intersolar Europe Conference and the parallel programmes at the ICM are sold separately and are substantially more expensive. Exhibitor applications for the following edition open shortly after each show closes and the main halls fill early.
Exhibition 8 to 10 June 2027 at Messe Munchen, Am Messesee 2, Munich. Conferences 7 and 8 June 2027 at the ICM Munchen.
Organisers expect more than 2,000 exhibitors and over 100,000 attendees from more than 160 countries.
Both. The exhibition floor is bilingual and the conference programme runs largely in English, reflecting an international exhibitor base.
