October 28 @ 8:30 am – October 30 @ 4:00 pm
We are delighted to invite you to the International District Heating Summit 2026 – the leading international platform for district heating, innovation, and energy security.
In a world marked by rising energy security risks, geopolitical uncertainty, and climate extremes, the central question is no longer what we aim to achieve – but how to deliver energy independence quickly and efficiently.
The International District Heating Summit 2026 will bring together cities, utilities, industry leaders and investors to focus on what ultimately determines success: How resilient heat systems are decided, delivered and operated under real-world pressure.
Building on the experience of previous years, the 2026 Summit sharpens its focus on delivery:
- from city decisions to operating assets
- from policy ambition to utility reality
- from long-term targets to near-term impact
What to expect:
Day 1: Delivery in Practice
Site visits along two parallel tracks in Northern Jutland:
- Large-scale district heating systems
- Smaller-scale district heating systems
The visits highlight different delivery contexts, system choices, and operational realities —including trade-offs related to scale, flexibility, and resilience.
Day 2: From Decision to Delivery
A conference day centered on utilities as the reference point, with cities as co-owners of decisions and risk, and policy grounded in operational and delivery reality.
Day 3: Navigating the Solution Landscape
Curated expo tours and facilitated B2B matchmaking, guided by the Danish Trade Council, State of Green and DBDH supporting informed dialogue around solution maturity, scalability and concrete delivery challenges.
The 2026 Summit is designed for those responsible not only for setting direction – but for making critical infrastructure work when it matters most.
Further details, program highlights and speaker announcements will follow.
