The European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) will be organised as a hybrid event from 9 to 11 June 2026.
The EUSEW Energy Fair provides you with the opportunity to host an onsite stand to present your activities. A list of organisations present at the Fair will be available in the dedicated section of the event's website, but all interactions will happen onsite. The EUSEW Energy Fair 2026 edition will host approximately 30 stands in the European Commission’s Charlemagne building, in Brussels.
By holding a stand at the Energy Fair, you will benefit from additional networking opportunities and improved outreach to the community and professionals working in the fields of energy efficiency and clean energy. Successful applicants will be supported by the technical and event teams (i.e., for logistics, audiovisual services, training, etc.).
All stand holders are fully responsible for the content and promotion of their booth and must comply with the guidelines provided by the organising team of the European Sustainable Energy Week.
A communication toolkit for promotion will be provided to all successful applicants hosting a stand at the Energy Fair.
The call for the Energy Fair is now open.
The following eligibility criteria apply to all submissions. Meeting the eligibility criteria is mandatory. Applications that do not meet these criteria will be excluded from the evaluation.

The Energy Fair will take place onsite in Brussels from 9 to 11 June 2026. It offers a limited number of stands for optimal exhibitor visibility. The 2026 edition will host approximately 30 stands in the European Commission’s Charlemagne building. Stand organisers must commit to being at the Fair throughout the three days of the EUSEW conference (Tuesday 9, Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 June from 09.00 to 18.00 CEST).
To encourage interactivity, stand organisers can:
- Display some specific material that visitors can use (e.g., VR goggles, small prototypes, etc.);
- Engage visitors with games and quizzes;
- Run brief pitches presenting innovative solutions or demonstrating a project.
These activities are organised by stand holders directly.
We will provide exhibitors with:
- A space to give information about their organisation/project/etc. equipped with a table and two high stools;
- A screen to show videos;
- Internet connection.
We encourage you to bring your own material (roll-ups, posters, banners, etc.) to brand the space allocated to your stand (information will be shared with successful stand holders on 23 April 2026).
EUSEW organisers will evaluate all proposals submitted for the Energy Fair. Their evaluation will be based on the information provided in the online application form and the aspects described below. In order to give space to the greatest number of organisations, as well as to ensure variety, we may recommend that some applications are merged, and two organisations with similar activities may be asked to share a stand.
Profile
- Briefly present the organisation(s) holding the stand.
Relevance
- Briefly summarise the key elements of what you would like to showcase.
- Explain why the content you propose would be of interest for the EUSEW audience.
Interactivity
- Describe interactive and/or innovative elements, which you are planning to include at your stand to stimulate discussion and interactions with the participants.
- If you plan to present an innovative solution, demonstration, or run a brief presentation/workshop, please provide details of what it would look like, how long it will take and what you will need for it.
The deadline for applications is 12 March 2026 at 23.59 CET. Please note that late submissions will not be considered. You will be informed of the results by 23 April 2026.
