The Sähkö-Electricity 26 fair has provided a boost to the overview of trade fairs and exhibitions in the electricity sector. A new international electricity trade fair is scheduled to open at the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre in April 2026. One of the most important target groups for the event are electrical designers, represented in Finland by NSS Oy, who have signed a cooperation agreement related to the professional Sähkö-Electricity 26 fair.

“The industry has evolved rapidly, requiring designers to possess versatile expertise and information acquisition skills. The fair offers opportunities to forge connections, engage with various stakeholders, and stay abreast of technical innovations. Additionally, I commend the Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre's efforts to attract young talent to the field. With Sähkö-Electricity 26 offering an international-level setting and logistics, we find ourselves at the epicenter of the industry," states Säkö.
“For us at the fair, initiating cooperation with stakeholders marks a significant milestone ahead of the April 2026 event. We aim to develop Sähkö-Electricity into a modern and relevant event, taking genuine industry development feedback as our guiding principles. Thorough planning of this new event will benefit both visitors and exhibitors," remarks Jussi Kivikari, Business Manager of Sähkö-Electricity Fair.
The three-day Sähkö-Electricity 26 fair will showcase a broad spectrum of electrical technology solutions and services, with a particular focus on the green transition and the rapid advancement of electrical technology.
