About Elmia
Elmia began in 1961 as a trade fair for agriculture and forestry.
Today Elmia arranges around 20 fairs every year within a variety of business areas. Elmia also runs a large number of customised events for external organisers, and is responsible for space rental and services.
Our own fairs include World Bioenergy and Elmia Wood, the world’s largest forestry fair. Elmia’s fairs are also the biggest of their kind in Europe for subcontractors, trucks, caravans and railways. The venue’s four exhibition halls have a total indoor area of 34,000 m2. There is also 300,000 m2 of outdoor space.
A large number of conferences, congresses, launches, events and banquets are also arranged every year. An ultra-modern congress and concert hall has made Elmia one of Sweden’s major conference and culture centres.

Sustainability and Environment
We are not there yet, but we work hard and consciously on it and we want you as a exhibitor, customer or visitor to feel involved in our environmental work.
The environmental and climate issue is always taken into consideration and is an important parameter in all our decisions.
Renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, infrastructure and logistics
The electricity used by Elmia is 100% renewable and does not contribute to any CO2 emissions.
Together with Jönköpings kommuns Fastighetsutveckling AB an active collaboration is ongoing to reduce our climate impact. For two consecutive years, we have reduced our energy consumption by 11% per year and we are now actively pursuing this work together.
Elmia also works together with ECIS AB to map the entire energy consumption in the properties. Measures are being taken to further reduce energy consumption through new systems on how we control ventilation, heating, cooling and lighting. In several of our exhibition halls, together with ECIS AB, we have switched lighting fixtures to LED and the work will continue during 2020.
Cooling from VätternVia pumps and temperature exchangers we use the lake water from Vättern to cool the exhibition halls. The water circulates in a closed system, and not only provides energy savings of up to 670 MWh per year. We have also been able to clear about 800 kg of freund from our cooling system.
Solar cells and charging stationsElmia is running a project together with Jönköping Energy to set up solar panels, energy storage and energy efficiency, as well as expansion of charging stations for electric cars on the fairground and facilities.
Waste disposalActive work is underway to increase recycling, reuse and reduce waste and to improve waste management.
Climate-smart productsWe are working on developing and lifting new sustainable and climate-smart stand products and services. These are always important parameters when choosing partners and suppliers.
Climat CouncilElmia is a member of the Climate Council, a collaboration organization with members from different corners of society. The Climate Council's Climate Conference 2021 will be held at Elmia. Read more at www.klimatradet.se.
