How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

EnerGaïa has grown strongly over recent editions (from ~22,000 to 22,600 participants, 560+ exhibitors in 2025), driven by the acceleration of renewable energy projects in the greater south. One to watch for 2026: the impact of the municipal elections context on local acceptance, a central theme of the forum.
