IVS 2026 Opens Its Doors: A Meeting Point for the Global Valve Industry

Tomorrow, the global industrial valve community will gather once again in Bergamo for the opening of IVS 2026, one of the sector’s most established and internationally recognised events.
Over the years, IVS has become more than a trade exhibition. It is a place where manufacturers, suppliers, engineering companies and end users meet to exchange ideas, discuss market developments and strengthen relationships across the entire value chain. In an industry increasingly shaped by energy transition, digitalisation and evolving global dynamics, opportunities for direct dialogue remain essential.
The 2026 edition arrives at a particularly significant moment for the valve industry. Demand for reliability, efficiency and technological innovation continues to grow across energy, chemical, water and process industries, while companies face new challenges related to sustainability, supply chains and industrial competitiveness.
Against this backdrop, IVS offers not only a showcase of products and technologies, but also a valuable opportunity to take the pulse of the market and understand where the industry is heading.
For Bergamo, the Summit once again confirms its role as an international industrial hub for a few intense days of meetings, discussions and networking. For exhibitors and visitors alike, it represents the beginning of new conversations and, potentially, new projects.
As the doors open on May 19, the expectation is not for grand statements, but for concrete exchanges between people who continue to shape one of the key sectors supporting global industry.
Industrial Valve News will be there throughout the event to report on the voices, technologies and trends emerging from IVS 2026.
