About the Event
Following the success of our previous edition, we are thrilled to announce the 4th Gigafactory Summit 2026, taking place on 24–25 February in Berlin.
This leading industry event brings together senior executives, technical experts, and key decision-makers for two days of high-level networking and knowledge exchange. Participants will benefit from an agenda filled with practical case studies, expert presentations, and panel discussions tackling critical challenges in gigafactory design and construction.
As Europe accelerates its transition toward sustainable mobility and clean energy, the summit serves as a collaborative platform across the gigafactory ecosystem. This year’s program focuses on the latest trends and opportunities in facility design, construction, operations, and sustainability.
Key sessions will cover topics such as modular facility design, waste management and on-site recycling, energy resilience, predictive analytics, and the use of digital tools to boost efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Additional sessions will explore safety-driven design, sustainable business models, and the growing role of automation and digital twins in operational excellence.
Join us at the 4th Gigafactory Summit 2026 to gain actionable insights, learn from real-world case studies, and connect with the leaders shaping the future of Europe’s gigafactory infrastructure.
