Energy -saving Wels: 40 years of innovation for the green future!

Wels, Österreich - On March 7, 2025, the Webuild Energy Parmessen was ceremoniously opened in Wels, an important anniversary that marked 40 years of commitment to sustainable energy use. With around 380 exhibitors, the fair is the center of the energy transition by March 9 and shows innovative solutions in the areas of heating, renewable energies and many others. Governor Thomas Stelzer (ÖVP) described the fair as a symbol for the innovation spirit, which is essential for a strong business location: "If you do not impose any limits of thinking, but leave a free stage to research spirit, you can see what can be achieved here," he emphasized in his opening speech.

But not everything was just a jubilation: the current discussion about the elimination of federal funding for the heating exchange ensured concern among the exhibitors and visitors. Economic and Energy Councilor Markus Achleitner (ÖVP) addressed the challenges that this step brings with it at the opening. Without financial support, access to climate -friendly heating solutions is made difficult, which Mayor Andreas Rabl (FPÖ) also addressed. He emphasized the change in the perception of the energy saving, which is no longer associated with waiver, but is associated with innovative approaches.

innovations and solutions in the focus

The roots of this important trade fair go back to 1985 when Wolfgang Neumann organized a specialist exhibition on energy in Gmunden. "At that time, many experts were convinced that the world will no longer exist in 30 years," Neumann recalled, adding that it was important to show solutions and motivate people to apply them. Current projects, such as a AI-based database to provide solutions in different languages, underline this approach.

The energy saving fair not only offers visitors information about grants and climate -friendly heating, but also the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts. Visitors who have already secured federal funding for a heating exchange can make valuable contacts here in order to be able to implement their projects. The fair is therefore the ideal place to find out about the latest developments in the energy industry and to discover sustainable solutions, while the uncertainties remain about the funding landscape, as well as energiesparmesse.at reported.
