BRUSSELS, April 8, 2026 – The transition toward a climate-neutral and resource-efficient economy is among the most important drivers of innovation and growth in Europe. The TransformIT Europe Conference, taking place on May 6–7, 2026 at 

the Bedford Hotel & Congress Centre in Brussels, will bring together 

companies, technology providers, investors as well as representatives from politics 

and European institutions to advance solutions for Europe’s green and digital 

transformation. 

 

“Europe has a strong industrial and technological base – particularly within its SME 

sector – to take a global leadership role in GreenTech and ClimateTech solutions,” 

says Jan Nintemann, initiator of TransformIT Europe. “With TransformIT Europe, we 

aim to create a platform that connects innovation, businesses and policy 

frameworks more closely and helps bring sustainable technologies to market 

faster.” 

 

The conference will address central themes of the sustainable transformation from 

a European perspective, including: 

• AI for Green

• Data resilience and European digital sovereignty

• Smart Cities and Smart Buildings

• Circular economy and refurbishment

 

The program will also feature a Google Developer Group (GDG) Hackathon

focused on sustainable Smart City solutions. 

 

Speakers include experts from companies and organizations such as T-Systems, 

the University of Würzburg, UN Global Compact, ABN AMRO, D-Carbonize, BABLE 

Smart Cities, Smart Building Collective, MetisReal, Hereworks, ASITIS, YOUNG 

Forum, Molano and Free ICT Europe.

Recent geopolitical developments highlight that the transition toward a sustainable 

economy has also become a matter of economic competitiveness and strategic 

sovereignty. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, strengthening resilient supply 

chains and deploying digital technologies and artificial intelligence are key factors in 

this transformation. 

Over the past two years, the GreenTech and ClimateTech market has developed

dynamically. At the same time, it has become clear that many companies still

communicate their solutions rather cautiously – leaving significant market

opportunities untapped.

 

 

Following the conference, the TransformIT Europe GreenTech Trade Fair will take 

place the following year as a major European marketplace for sustainable 

technologies. From May 18–21, 2027 at Brussels Expo, the trade fair will bring 

together companies, decision-makers and investors from across industries to foster

technological cooperation and concrete business relationships around sustainable 

technologies.

 

Around 300 exhibitors and 5,000 to 10,000 trade visitors and conference 

participants from across Europe are expected.

 

Companies planning to exhibit can currently benefit from special conditions, including 

the crediting of the 2026 conference ticket toward stand costs as well as an early-bird 

discount of 10% on exhibition space.

 

The participation of leading companies will help create visibility and momentum for

Europe’s GreenTech ecosystem. Especially in times of global uncertainty, it is crucial

to strengthen innovation, collaboration and sustainable value creation.

 

 

TransformIT Europe is a pan-European platform for GreenTech, digital sovereignty

and sustainable technologies. Its goal is to connect companies, innovators, investors

and political decision-makers and to accelerate the deployment of sustainable 

technologies across Europe.
