2026 is set to be a big year for Hug Engineering - and a big part of our momentum comes from being present where the industry meets. Over the past years, we’ve seen how powerful exhibitions and congresses can be: they’re where projects start, partnerships grow, and ideas turn into real solutions across all industries we serve.
We’re entering the year full of energy, with a clear plan for where we’ll show up - not just to “be there,” but to actively contribute: sharing know-how, discussing real-world challenges, and demonstrating how advanced exhaust gas aftertreatment improves compliance, reliability, and overall performance.
Most importantly: these events are our favourite way to meet the people we enjoy working with - customers, partners, shipyards, integrators, OEMs, and operators - and to connect with new faces who are shaping the next wave of marine, power, and digital infrastructure.

Data Center and Mission Critical
Europe’s data center market is accelerating fast - driven by AI, cloud growth, and expanding digital infrastructure. Analysts project a steep rise in power demand and capacity build-out across Europe in the coming years, putting reliability, emissions compliance, and operational efficiency under even more pressure.
That’s exactly where Hug Engineering steps in: we help make power generation cleaner and compliant - and we’re using 2026 to keep raising awareness in this segment. Aftertreatment isn’t “nice to have” anymore; it’s increasingly part of future-ready infrastructure planning. We’re taking a leading role in sharing practical experience, proven solutions, and best practices with the European data center community.
