The OFF-GRID Expo + Conference (OEC) in Augsburg is the only neutral congress trade fair in Europe for technologies for off-grid energy supply and utilisation. The practice-orientated format consisting of an English-speaking conference, trade fair and community networking event takes place every two years. Next edition on October 30 – 31, 2025. In particular, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) and access to clean drinking water (SDG 6), economic growth (SDG 8), sustainable consumption (SDG 12) and climate protection (SDG 13) are the focus here.

The platform enables an active and interactive exchange with competent discussion partners, new ideas and fresh impetus on the topics of decentralised energy supply and use. This portfolio is represented in the exhibition:
