Where Novi Sad’s Industry Once Thrived, Its Energy Future Is Now Taking Shape

The international conference, energy technology exhibition and B2B meetings SEE ENERGY 2026 will take place on 4–5 November at the Čeličana Cultural Station, located in Novi Sad’s Distrikt.

The seventh edition of the international conference and exhibition SEE ENERGY 2026 – ENERGY FOR INDUSTRY, organised by the National Biomass Association SERBIO, will take place in a distinctive setting this year, providing a new backdrop for discussions on the energy future of industry.

The site of a former industrial complex in Veliki Liman, now part of Novi Sad’s Distrikt, will bring together representatives of industrial companies, energy and technology providers, investors and experts from Serbia and the wider region on 4–5 November.

The choice of Čeličana carries special symbolism: a location closely connected to the city’s industrial past will become a meeting place for discussions on the technologies, investments and energy solutions shaping the factories of tomorrow.

From Industrial Heritage to Modern Energy Technologies

Today’s Distrikt emerged from the transformation of a former industrial zone in Veliki Liman, one of Novi Sad’s important centres of economic development during the 20th century.

Former production facilities, workshops and industrial buildings are now being repurposed to accommodate cultural, creative and other contemporary activities. This unique environment adds a special dimension to this year’s SEE ENERGY event.

In the past, industrial companies invested in machinery, production lines and new manufacturing capacities. Today, they face an equally important investment challenge: how to secure a more reliable, cost-effective and sustainable energy supply, reduce production costs and remain competitive in the market.

SEE ENERGY 2026 connects these two eras of industrial development, placing practical technologies, investments and business models at the forefront of efforts to help industry address the energy challenges of the coming years.

What Can Visitors Expect to See and Learn?

Over two days, SEE ENERGY will bring together a professional conference, an exhibition of energy technologies and equipment, and targeted B2B business meetings.

The programme is primarily designed for medium-sized and large industrial companies, major energy consumers, energy utilities, investors, engineering and design companies, technology providers and financial institutions.

The conference will showcase solutions that enable industrial companies to generate, use, store and manage energy more efficiently, with a particular focus on technologies that can be implemented in existing production facilities.

Key topics of the expert panels will include:

• Energy Inside the Factory: Gas engines and turbines, combined heat and power (CHP), industrial heat pumps and waste heat recovery.

• Waste-to-Energy: Opportunities to convert industrial and other waste streams into useful energy, including waste-to-energy facilities.

• Smart Energy Management: Digital systems, automation, monitoring and real-time energy consumption optimisation.

• Solar Power Plants and Battery Energy Storage: Integrating renewable energy generation, battery storage and grid connections.

• The Active Energy Consumer: How industrial companies can take a more active role in generating, consuming and managing their own energy.

• Financing Energy Projects: How to turn a technological solution into a bankable investment attractive to financial institutions and investors.

The conference and exhibition programme of SEE ENERGY 2026 will bring together representatives of leading international and Serbian companies specialising in energy, industrial technologies and energy management.

The programme will also highlight specific industrial challenges and projects seeking suitable technological, commercial or financial solutions.

Special emphasis will be placed on connecting companies with real energy needs and investment plans to partners capable of providing technology, engineering expertise, financing or project implementation.

In this way, SEE ENERGY goes beyond the traditional conference format, becoming a platform where expert discussions can develop into concrete business agreements and new investments.

“We Want Čeličana to Be a Place Where Projects Are Agreed Upon, Not Just Where the Future Is Discussed”

Jelena Bunčić, President of the National Biomass Association SERBIO, the organiser of SEE ENERGY, emphasises:

“The choice of Čeličana as the venue for this year’s SEE ENERGY has special significance for us. We wanted to connect a place that reflects Novi Sad’s strong industrial heritage with the technologies and investments shaping the future of industry today.

This part of the city was once a centre of industrial production and development. Today, we want it to become a meeting place for factories seeking energy solutions, companies developing new technologies, and partners capable of financing and implementing new projects.

Our goal is not simply to spend two days discussing the energy transition. We want industrial companies to leave Čeličana with valuable contacts, new ideas and investment opportunities that can help reduce their energy costs and strengthen their competitiveness.

This is where we see the most meaningful connection between the industrial past of this place and its future.”

Novi Sad as a Meeting Point for Industry, Technology and Investment

By hosting SEE ENERGY 2026 at the Čeličana Cultural Station, Novi Sad gains another opportunity to demonstrate its potential as a meeting point for industry, innovation and international business cooperation.

The conference connects industrial energy consumers with technology manufacturers, energy companies, experts, financial institutions and investors from Serbia and the wider region.

In a setting that reflects the city’s industrial development, discussions will focus on a new generation of energy systems – from more efficient use of heat and electricity to digital energy management, battery storage and investment financing.

Approximately 300 visitors per day are expected, including representatives of industrial companies, the energy sector, technology and engineering firms, investors and business decision-makers.

SEE ENERGY 2026 will therefore provide an opportunity to bring together industrial energy needs, advanced technologies and the capital required to turn new energy projects into reality – all in one place, in Novi Sad.
