Join us in Denmark for two impactful days of learning, exchange, and action – right in the heart of the world’s leading district heating nation.

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.

The 2026 Summit focus points

  • From city decisions to operating assets
  • From policy ambition to utility reality
  • From long-term targets to near-term impact

The 2026 Summit is designed for those responsible not only for setting direction – but for making critical infrastructure work when it matters most.
This is more than a summit! It’s your chance to experience how Denmark is putting sustainable, secure, and scalable heating systems into practice.

Further details, program highlights and speaker announcements will follow.
