From Dec.1 - 3, 2026, VALVE WORLD EXPO, 14^th International Valve Trade Fair & Conference,  will showcase technological innovations in the field of industrial valves in halls 1 and 3 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Exhibitors from 24 countries have already registered, most of them from Germany, followed by strong industrial nations such as Italy, Great Britain, Spain, Turkey, India, South Korea, Taiwan, the U.S. and China.

VALVE WORLD EXPO 2026 will present intelligent products and solutions for fossil and alternative applications. As an international meeting place for manufacturers, developers, users and decision-makers from the process industry, it is a high-caliber platform for professional exchange, knowledge transfer and business development.

Four key topics reflect the central themes of the industry and form the guiding principles of VALVE WORLD EXPO 2026: Global Energy, Process Industries & Safety, Digitalization & Automation and Valve Value Chain.

Global Energy highlights the entire spectrum of the energy landscape – from oil and gas to LNG and district heating to renewable energies and hydrogen – and demonstrates the role of valves as enablers in all energy sectors.

Process Industries & Safety emphasizes the importance of safe, efficient valve technologies, which are primarily used in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Digitalization & Automation focuses on intelligent valve solutions, digital twins and automated systems that enable predictive maintenance and can be seamlessly integrated into networked plant landscapes.

Valve Value Chain, highlights the entire value chain – from advanced materials and components to engineering and manufacturing to service and logistics solutions – all across the entire life cycle.

From fossil fuels to renewable energy sources – solutions for current and future industrial requirements

The challenges of the energy transition and the increasing demands on efficiency, safety and sustainability require high-performance, reliable valve technologies. This applies not only to fossil fuels, but also to alternative and renewable energies such as hydrogen infrastructures, carbon capture and storage processes, power-to-X plants and offshore energy projects.

The latest developments in the fields of hydrogen-resistant materials, cryogenic valve solutions for LNG and green hydrogen, automated components for decentralized energy systems and high-pressure valves for modern energy storage solutions will also be discussed at VALVE WORLD EXPO 2026.

The processes in the chemical and petrochemical industries place very specific demands on materials, safety and durability: the focus is on PTFE and metal-insulated shut-off and control valves, TA-Luft-compliant low-emission solutions, SIL-certified safety valves and intelligent monitoring systems for precise process control.

International conference and the new PUMP WORLD complement the trade fair

Traditionally, the high-caliber Valve World Conference, organized and run by KCI, complements the events at the exhibition center. An extensive lecture program with exciting keynotes and best cases, which specifically promotes the transfer of knowledge between research, engineering, and practice, awaits trade visitors in Hall 1.

With a new name and a compact offering, Pump World will be a special show for pumps in hall 3. It is dedicated to highly specialized pumps for a wide range of industrial applications – in particular pumps that can be precisely integrated into the industrial valves and systems on display.

Initiatives such as the High Potential Day will complement the compact range of products on display in the exhibition halls.
