The electrical and building technology market in Central Germany is moving toward integrated solutions for installations and networks. Three days in Leipzig bring manufacturers, distributors and technical buyers together to evaluate products and procurement options.
Practical information for Efa:on 2027
Efa:on 2027 runs from 21 to 23 September 2027 at the Exhibition Centre Leipzig. Visitor access, schedules and accommodation guidance are published on the official site. The event runs alongside netze:ON, focused on energy distribution and broadband networks, and in 2027 adds Sustainable Solutions, a strand dedicated to renewable technologies and resource efficiency.
Sectors and exhibitor profile
Exhibitors include component manufacturers, suppliers for electrical installations, distributors serving the construction sector and providers of energy management systems. The combined presence with netze:ON broadens the offering to include infrastructure for grid management and broadband integration.
Key figures
Available retrospective figures show 211 exhibitors (efa:ON + netze:ON) and 11,800 visitors in 2025. Those numbers illustrate the regional reach and the professional composition of the audience, which includes trades, installers, engineering offices, energy companies and building operators.
Commercial prospecting at Efa:on 2027
Define three concrete goals for each meeting: technical fit, supply capacity and delivery timelines. Prepare short technical sheets and project briefs to move conversations from catalogue descriptions to application in real projects. For distributors and sales teams, early morning and late-afternoon slots tend to concentrate decision makers.
Given the parallel focus on networks and renewables, combine appointments with infrastructure suppliers and project owners to shorten procurement cycles. Use the exhibitor directory to filter by product category and to prioritise contacts that match your procurement windows.
Activities and new elements in 2027
The introduction of Sustainable Solutions for 2027 expands the exhibition to include renewables and resource efficiency topics on two of the three days. The ongoing tandem with netze:ON keeps a strong emphasis on digitalisation of grids and on the intersection between building systems and telecom networks.
Closing note and next step
If you target the Central German market, bring technical documentation and clear supply routes. Check schedules, exhibitor lists and registration at the official site http://www.efa-on.de/en to plan meetings and confirm logistics for Efa:on 2027.
