The latest key technologies for industrial transformation – Valve World Expo will be showcasing technological innovations in the field of industrial valves in halls 1 and 3 at Düsseldorf Fairgrounds from 1 to 3 December 2026.
About 550 exhibitors from 30 countries have already registered, most of them come from Germany, followed by exhibitors from strong industrial nations such as Italy, Great Britain, Spain, Turkey, India, South Korea, Taiwan, the USA and China.
Valve World Expo presents 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-calibre 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, Digitalisation & 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 emphasises the importance of safe, efficient valve technologies, which are primarily used in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Digitalisation & Automation focuses on intelligent valve solutions, digital twins and automated systems that enable predictive maintenance and can be seamlessly integrated into networked plant landscapes. The fourth key topic, 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.
Traditionally, the high-calibre Valve World Conference, organised and run by KCI, complements the events at the Fairground. An extensive programme of presentations with exciting keynotes and best cases, which specifically promotes the transfer of knowledge between research, engineering and practice, awaits trade visitors in hall 1.
Initiatives such as High Potential Day, Valve Stars Awards and the packed Expo Forum programme complement the compact range of products on offer in the exhibition halls.
