International electrical trade fair Sähkö-Electricity 26 to open in Helsinki in April 2026
A new international trade event, Sähkö-Electricity, will open at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre on 15-17 April 2026, and will be held every two years following its launch. The main players in the sector, such as ABB, Ahlsell, Airam, Siemens and Sonepar, have already signed up to participate in the event and are contributing also to its planning.
The three-day Sähkö-Electricity fair will showcase a wide range of electrical engineering solutions and services. The green transition and the rapid development of electrical technology will be well represented at the event, for example in terms of electric transport solutions and the ever-topical lighting. Importers, manufacturers, integrators, and wholesalers will be present at the event, not forgetting industry stakeholders.
"The Helsinki Metropolitan Area has long been in need of an international event for the electrical industry that brings together all industry players, from designers to contractors and procurement managers," says Mika Höijer, CEO of Sonepar.
"Today, electrification and automation solutions are the enablers of the green transition in both the construction and industrial sectors. At the fair, we will focus on showcasing the latest solutions and technologies. We believe that the time and location will set the stage for a successful event," says ABB Electrification’s Local Business Manager Mikko Mäkäräinen.
The sale of stands is underway, and the event is being developed in cooperation with the industry. A start-up area will be included, showcasing the latest innovations and trends in the sector.
"The Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre's facilities and experience will also allow us to implement special experiential and functional areas such as an electric car charging street and a smart street, as well as parallel events related to electricity. Networking is at the heart of this event too, and the entertainment aspect is not forgotten. The event will certainly have an exciting evening party," promises Jussi Kivikari, Business Manager at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
