Industrial Day: Energy and mobility
What can you expect?
At Industrial Day 2026 at Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV), you can expect exciting insights into current developments in sustainable Energy and mobility solutions - with a special focus on the Vorarlberg region. Experts from industry and research will present practical innovations and show how electric drives, intelligent charging strategies and the use of vehicle batteries as energy storage systems can contribute to a climate-friendly future. The construction sector will also be in the spotlight - with topics such as the use of electric machines and efficient energy management. Top-class specialist presentations by leading figures from the Energy and mobility industry will provide impetus for exchange and discussion. The event is aimed at anyone interested in concrete applications and forward-looking concepts in the fields of Energy and mobility - rooted in the region, but with a view beyond the horizon.
