About GENERA 2017

Genera 2017 is a leading Energy and Environment International Trade Fair, organised annually by IFEMA in Madrid, Spain. It annually confirms its leading position in the Spanish energy fair industry and as a reference in the international scene and it addresses professional visitors only.

169 exhibitors welcomed 9154 visitors in 2016, from approx. 45 countries and even higher number are expected this year. This because Genera 2017 runs in parallel to three complementary trade fairs: (1) C&R, International Show of Air Conditioning, Heating, Ventilation and Refrigeration, (2) SIGA, Fair of Innovative Solutions for Water Management and (3) TECNOVA PISCINAS, Fair of Technology and Innovation for Water Installations. This increases attractiveness for the professional public who can access all four trade fairs.

The dedicated area is located in the main pavilion, conveniently situated in the central exhibition hall itself, offering high visibility and quick access.
