The internationally renowned speakers come from R&D establishments, universities, test centres and laboratories, energy utilities and associations, and in particular from component manufacturers.

They will address an international audience of industry professionals including technicians, designers, product developers, component manufacturers and suppliers, decision-makers and consulting engineers for product development, architects and planners working in all areas of heat pump production and applications in industrial and commercial environments.

Foyer Expo combines product information and professional dialogue

At the Foyer Expo, the focus will be on the latest products and innovations from the exhibiting companies. “Already, six months before the start of the European Heat Pump Summit, we are delighted to have received confirmations from numerous exhibitors and sponsors. We are very happy about this positive response,” explains Daniela Heinkel.

The European Heat Pump Summit is directed at researchers, manufacturers, designers, energy consultants and operators of municipal, commercial and industrial properties. The combination of high-calibre conference programme and Foyer Expo, and the biennial Chillventa trade fair which also provides comprehensive coverage of the topic of heat pumps, are what have made Nuremberg into the “Heat Pump City”.
