Ecomondo is the leading European trade fair for the green and circular economy, held each November at the Rimini Expo Centre. The 2026 edition runs 3-6 November 2026. Organised by Italian Exhibition Group, Ecomondo gathers around 1,700 exhibitors and draws over 100,000 visitors, covering waste and water management, bioenergy, recycling technology, sustainable agriculture, soil protection and the technologies driving the ecological transition.
Ecomondo is a technology-and-solutions fair for an environmental-industry audience, so its stands mix equipment demonstration with meeting and consultation space. Exhibitors present recycling and treatment machinery, water and bioenergy systems and environmental services, so some stands carry heavier plant with associated floor-load and power requirements, while others focus on consultative selling of services and solutions. The tone is technical and business-driven, aimed at professional buyers, delegations and institutions.
Ecomondo fills the Rimini halls organised by thematic area, from waste and recycling to water and bioenergy, so hall placement relative to a company's sector matters to reaching the right buyers. The presence of machinery in parts of the fair brings load and services requirements, and the Italian Exhibition Group's technical rules apply. With the fair growing its international profile, exhibitors confirm stand design and placement well in advance.
For companies exhibiting at Ecomondo, a builder with Rimini and IEG experience is a practical advantage: stands showing environmental machinery carry extra load and services requirements, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics, load-in and approved contractors reduces risk during the leading week in the European green-economy calendar.
