The international heat pump community is very much looking forward to autumn: On 24 and 25 October 2023, the 8th European Heat Pump Summit will take place at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg in its customary format of congress with accompanying foyer expo. Bridging the gap between the biennial Chillventa exhibition, it provides an important discussion platform on the latest market developments, R&D topics, and trends in heat pump applications. Effective immediately, prospective speakers can submit their proposed presentation topics and find out about other options for participating.

“This is an event where heat pump and component manufacturers, especially the latter, come into closer contact with their users than at any other industry gathering. We are delighted that we are once again able to provide the platform for a highly innovative, cutting-edge sector and make Nuremberg the venue for professional dialogue and excellent products and innovations from all areas of heat pump production and application,” says Elke Harreiss, Director European Heat Pump Summit at NürnbergMesse. It’s where researchers, technicians, product developers, decision-makers and consulting engineers, component manufacturers and suppliers, (building services) designers and architects, and operators of heat pumps come together with international experts and acclaimed speakers.

With its four main thematic blocks – market developments, R&D, potential and applications, and product and component development –, the congress will once again cover the entire spectrum of current developments and challenges in the international heat pump market. The spotlight will be on the following topics:

  • Market and energy policy developments in Germany and the rest of Europe, report on the 14th IEA Heat Pump Conference, report on the 26th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration
  • Refrigerants, circular economy, high-temperature heat pumps, steam and district heat generation, energy performance in hybrid systems, current research institute projects
  • Existing building stock, single- and multi-family houses, neighbourhood heat pumps, commerce and industry, complements to existing heating systems, hot water heat pumps, heat pumps combined with solar panels, air-to-air heat pumps (heating and cooling)
  • Compressors, heat exchangers, fans, refrigerants, controllers, acoustics

Prospective speakers from research and development institutes, universities, testing bodies and laboratories, energy utilities and associations, and component manufacturers are invited to submit their presentation proposals on the above-mentioned topics by 12.6.2023.
