Pollutec 2027 – Environment & Energy Technology Expo France

What to expect in 2027

Pollutec 2027 will bring together environmental technology companies, energy specialists, industrial manufacturers, engineering firms, public authorities, researchers, startups and professional buyers at Eurexpo Lyon from October 12–15, 2027. The event is one of Europe’s major professional exhibitions dedicated to environmental solutions and technologies for ecological transition. The official organizer describes Pollutec as a meeting place for innovative solutions covering 11 environmental sectors, supported by conferences and professional networking opportunities.

The 2027 edition will focus on technologies and practical solutions that can help companies, municipalities and industries address environmental challenges. Areas represented across the exhibition include waste, water, energy, sustainable cities and biodiversity, measurement and treatment, risk management, bioeconomy and eco-materials, as well as institutional and professional organizations.

Pollutec is aimed at a professional audience rather than a general consumer market. Visitors can meet suppliers, technology developers, engineering companies, startups, public-sector organizations and research bodies while examining equipment, processes and services designed for environmental management and industrial transition.

The event is also built around knowledge exchange. The current official programme framework includes conferences addressing decarbonization, bioeconomy, health and science, with the previous programme featuring hundreds of sessions and more than 1,000 speakers. The detailed 2027 conference timetable will be confirmed closer to the exhibition.
