Russia’s HVACR Industry Enters a New Era
Climate World, Russia’s premier exhibition for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment, is undergoing a significant transformation. After 21 years as a winter event, the 22nd edition of the International Specialised Exhibition “Climate World” will be held from November 10–13, 2026, at Pavilion 3, Hall 13 of the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow.
A Strategic Shift to Autumn
The move to November marks a new chapter for Russia’s largest HVACR exhibition. This decision was driven by commercial considerations and offers clear advantages for manufacturers, suppliers, and customers:
- Peak Business Season: Autumn is the optimal time for launching new products before the end of the year and for signing contracts following the summer holiday period.
- Stronger Synergies: Climate World Autumn will be held concurrently with MITEX (the international exhibition of tools and hardware) and UtiliCon (the international exhibition of utilities and urban infrastructure) as part of the MEGAPOLIS EXPO project. This co-location creates a comprehensive industrial platform, allowing exhibitors to showcase integrated solutions and enabling visitors to plan their procurement for the coming year.
Exhibition Scale and Participation
The 2026 edition is expected to feature:
- 500+ exhibitors
- 30,000+ professional visitors
- 28,000+ square metres of exhibition space
- 45+ congress events

The exhibition is organised by EURO EXPO and the Russian Association of Climate Industry Professionals (APIC).
