International market presence in Canada, India and China
With three strategically positioned trade fairs in Canada, India and China, the global portfolio of flow technology events and conferences organised by Messe Düsseldorf continues to expand worldwide.
The combination of trade fair and conference also highlights the growing importance of the valves and flow control industries in South and East Asia and North America in terms of energy transition, infrastructure modernisation and industrial digitalisation.
Valve World Calgary Expo & Conference
The international satellite events kick off with the Valve World Calgary Expo & Conference, which will take place on 3–4 June 2026 at the Telus Convention Centre in the heart of downtown Calgary. With this debut, VALVE WORLD EXPO is expanding from its home base in Düsseldorf to Canada, and thus directly into one of North America’s most important energy hubs.
Calgary is known as the ‘Energy Capital of Canada’ and is home to leading oil, gas and energy companies, as well as numerous engineering and service firms. The new platform thus provides direct access to decision-makers, project managers and investors across the entire value chain.
Around 100 exhibitors will be presenting their latest technologies, products and services in Calgary, covering valves, actuation technology, sealing solutions and related industrial sectors. The accompanying conference programme will discuss innovations and solutions for the energy sector.
The trade fair and conference are organised by Messe Düsseldorf in collaboration with KCI Publishing. The partnership with KCI has been combining international industry expertise with global trade fair expertise for decades.
For exhibitors, the Valve World Calgary Expo & Conference opens up new market opportunities in an environment strongly characterised by investment in energy infrastructure, LNG projects, pipeline networks and decarbonisation. https://valve-world-calgary.com/
Valve World Expo India & Valve World Summit 2026
The second edition of the Valve World Expo India will follow on 11–12 June 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (Hall 3). The trade fair, accompanied by a summit and technical workshops, is aimed at the international valve and fittings industry and user sectors such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemicals/chemicals and water management.
Following its successful debut in 2024, Valve World Expo India has quickly established itself as a key business and networking platform for the Indian market. The inaugural event two years ago attracted 73 exhibitors from 12 countries across 4,000 m² of exhibition space.
Around 4,000 trade visitors came to Mumbai over the two days of the exhibition. In 2026, the trade fair will once again offer companies a targeted opportunity to tap into the Indian market, showcase new products and engage directly with decision-makers. https://valveworldindia.com/
Valve World Asia Expo & Conference
Just a few days later, on 22–23 June 2026, the Valve World Asia Expo & Conference will follow, featuring over 120 exhibitors at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). The event is regarded as one of the
leading platforms for valve and flow control technology in the Asia-Pacific region and reflects the dynamic development of the region.
In an economic environment characterised by large-scale investment in energy, chemicals, petrochemicals, LNG, offshore technologies, hydrogen and renewable energies, Shanghai is positioning itself as a strategic hub for technology transfer and international business development.
The conference programme addresses key future topics, including digital supply chains, AI-supported procurement, high-pressure and cryogenic applications, and solutions for demanding operating conditions in the energy and process industries. https://valve-world-asia-event.com/
Why three satellite events?
The strategic focus of the three events makes it clear: the valve industry is at the heart of global transformation processes. Whether in the expansion of LNG infrastructure in North America, offshore projects and hydrogen initiatives in Asia, or the modernisation of existing industrial plants – reliable, safe and increasingly digitalised valve solutions are an indispensable component of modern energy and process chains.
A simultaneous presence in three economically strong regions enables exhibitors to expand their international market position, establish new partnerships and benefit from regionally varying growth dynamics.
Outlook to 2027
In 2027, two further satellite events in the USA and China will complement the growing portfolio. The Valve World Americas Expo & Conference will take place on 23–24 June in Houston, https://valveworldexpoamericas.com/.
The Valve World Expo Southeast Asia Expo & Conference will follow on 23–24 September 2027 in Singapore, https://valve-world-sea.com/.
In December 2026, the ‘mother’ of all VALVE WORLD trade fairs, the VALVE WORLD EXPO, will take place from 1 to 3 December at the Düsseldorf Fairgrounds, https://www.valveworldexpo.de.
