01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You sell hardware, EPC services, or project financing into European solar, wind, storage, hydrogen, or e-mobility supply chains. KEY draws more than 1,000 exhibiting brands and hundreds of hosted international buyer delegations, and the floor is set up for sourcing and deals.
Consider another event if
You sell software, consulting, or corporate ESG and reporting services rather than physical energy-transition hardware and projects, or your buyers sit outside Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa. KEY's hosted-buyer program is built around EU, Med, and Africa industrial and trade delegations.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends

Independent trade-fair directories put 2026 total visitors at roughly 71,000, a figure the organizer's own materials reviewed do not confirm.

Where can I find the KEY - The Energy Transition Expo exhibitor list?
We have not linked a public exhibitor directory for this edition. Ask the organizer about current directories and attendee access.
Does a company listing confirm who will attend?
A sponsor, exhibitor or speaker listing establishes that published role. It does not establish which employees will attend or whether they are buying. Previous-edition examples remain historical.
