Your GENERA stand competes with more than 800 exhibitors
Exhibiting at GENERA 2026 and need a stand that holds its own at Spain’s leading energy and environment trade fair? With more than 800 exhibitors, over 59,000 trade visitors and 34,000 square metres, a generic stand disappears among competitors selling much the same technology.
At Contemporánea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom GENERA exhibition stand, with in-house joinery at our Barcelona workshop. For more than 20 years we have been building stands for technical industries, with craft finishes and sustainable materials, which in an energy show is not a detail but part of the message.
What is GENERA and when does it take place
GENERA is the International Energy and Environment Trade Fair organised by IFEMA MADRID, focused on renewables, energy efficiency, electrification and decarbonisation. The next edition runs from 24 to 26 November 2026 at the IFEMA Madrid exhibition centre.
One thing worth knowing before you plan your space: GENERA is now held together with MATELEC, under the umbrella of the International Electrification and Decarbonisation Week, with the backing of IDAE. That means your stand shares the venue with the electrical and electronics industry, and the visitor flow is bigger and more mixed than at a standalone energy show. Its figures: 800+ exhibitors, 59,000+ trade visitors, 120+ conference sessions and 34,000 m².
Turnkey service for your GENERA stand
We handle the whole process, from the first sketch to dismantling, so you can focus on your meetings. One team, turnkey and with no middlemen. We design the concept, build it with in-house joinery at our Barcelona workshop and install it at IFEMA Madrid, so your stand arrives flawless and on time.

Transport and coordination to IFEMA Madrid, on-site build and dismantling by our own crew, and dedicated support throughout the show.
Projects that back every stand we build
For more than 20 years we have been designing and building exhibition stands for trade fairs across Europe, with experience in industrial and technical sectors alongside technology, food and healthcare. We start from a photorealistic 3D render, manufacture with in-house joinery and sustainable materials, and resolve the construction details that heavy equipment demands.
What your GENERA stand needs, depending on what you exhibit
The energy sector exhibits very differently depending on the technology. These are the four briefs we see most often.
01
Solar PV and modules
Panels are large, heavy and best shown at an angle. We build support frames and inclined displays that hold real modules safely, and light them so the cell finish and the frame quality can actually be judged up close.
02
Storage, inverters and charging
Battery cabinets and chargers are heavy floor-standing units. We calculate floor loads and access routes and provide the power points needed to show equipment powered up rather than as a dead shell.
03
Engineering, EPC and consultancy
If you sell projects rather than products, the stand is a meeting space. We prioritise tables, semi-private areas and large-format screens for showing plants and case studies, with acoustic comfort so conversations work.
04
A stand that matches your message
Selling decarbonisation from a stand that gets skipped after three days is a contradiction your visitors notice. We build with certified timber and reusable structures, and we can make that part of what you communicate on the stand.
A reusable stand, edition after edition
GENERA is an annual date and most exhibitors return. We design a modular, reusable stand that keeps your brand identity and cuts the cost of each edition without giving up a bespoke finish.
In this sector it carries extra weight: a reusable structure built from FSC and PEFC certified timber, aluminium and recyclable materials is consistent with what you are selling on the stand. We store the structural elements at our facilities and refresh graphics and layout for the next edition.
Frequently asked questions about GENERA stands
The questions we hear most from companies preparing their stand for GENERA at IFEMA Madrid, from the dates and the joint edition with MATELEC to logistics, installation and reuse. If yours is not here, get in touch and we will advise you with no obligation.
When does GENERA 2026 take place?
GENERA 2026 runs from 24 to 26 November 2026 at IFEMA MADRID, held together with MATELEC as part of the International Electrification and Decarbonisation Week. With the show only months away, build slots are limited: it is worth signing off the design as soon as possible.
Is GENERA the same event as MATELEC?
They are two separate trade fairs held at the same time and venue. GENERA covers energy and environment, renewables and efficiency; MATELEC covers the electrical and electronics industry. Sharing dates means more footfall, but also that your stand competes for attention with a much wider set of exhibitors, which is worth factoring into the design.
Can you display solar panels or battery cabinets on the stand?
Yes. We build support frames for modules at the right angle and calculate floor loads and access routes for heavy floor-standing equipment such as inverters, storage cabinets or chargers. We also size the power supply so the equipment can be shown running.
What does your GENERA stand design and build service include?
It is a turnkey service: design and 3D render, structural calculation, manufacturing at our own workshop, transport to IFEMA Madrid, build and dismantling on site, and support during the show. We also handle the venue’s technical documentation and the electrical connections.
Can the stand be reused at the next edition?
Yes, and in this sector it is also a coherent message. We build demountable structures in certified timber and aluminium, store the parts between editions and refresh graphics and layout the following year, reusing the bulk of the investment.
Can you install at IFEMA even though your workshop is in Barcelona?
Yes. We manufacture at our Barcelona workshop and travel to IFEMA Madrid with our own build crew, as we regularly do for shows at the Madrid venue. Transport and coordination with IFEMA are part of the turnkey service.
