Russia’s Premier Exhibition for Cryogenic Technologies and Industrial Gases
The 23rd International Specialised Exhibition “Cryogen-Expo. Industrial Gases 2026” will take place from September 16-18, 2026 at Pavilion 57 of the VDNH Exhibition Centre in Moscow. Organised by the Exhibition Company “Mir-Expo”, the event is recognised as Russia’s only international specialised exhibition dedicated to cryogenic technologies and equipment, held annually since 2002.
A Unique Platform for the Cryogenics Industry
The event is carried out under the support of the International Academy of Refrigeration and has earned its place in the international exhibitions calendar, bringing together representatives of cryogenic scientific circles, cryogenic engineers, and manufacturers of cryogenic equipment and industrial gases. The organisers also cooperate with international branch associations and profile events in the sphere of cryogenics and technical gases in Russia and abroad.
The exhibition is described as one of the largest and most representative specialised events in the world in this branch regarding exhibitor composition.
Exhibition Scale and Audience
In 2023, the 20th edition of Cryogen-Expo was attended by 1,960 specialists from Belarus, India, Kazakhstan, China, and Russia. These included representatives of aviation, medical, metallurgical, engineering, oil and gas, defence, chemical, and energy enterprises, as well as research and design institutes.
The exhibition attracts professionals from a wide range of industries, including: metallurgy, machinery-building, oil and gas, food industry, medicine, aerospace, transport, chemicals, electronics, shipbuilding, atomic industry, defence, and energy sectors.
