Engineers’ Day 2026
Annual conference
Make a note in your diary: on Wednesday 11 March 2026, Engineers’ Day will take place, the moment when KIVI will also organise its annual congress. This edition is dedicated to the theme 'Blueprint for a Stronger Europe' and focuses entirely on innovation, better cooperation between EU countries and strengthening Europe's position in the world.
At a time when cooperation within Europe is more urgent than ever, this edition of the KIVI annual congress puts the spotlight on innovation as the key to strengthening our position vis-Ă -vis the United States and China. During the congress, we will search together for answers to key questions: How can Europe emerge from the crisis through innovation? To what extent is the technology sector truly European-oriented? And which sectors can serve as examples for the rest?
Registrations go up on 6 January. Would you like to be notified when registrations for the KIVI Annual Conference 2026 open? Or, would you like to register as a sponsor, partner or visitor? Register here.
