From 18 to 20 November 2025, the latest developments in the air conditioning and refrigeration sector will be the focus of attention at IFEMA MADRID, promoting innovation in the sector.

C&R, the International Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Exhibition, hosted by IFEMA MADRID from 18 to 20 November 2025, has announced a new call for submissions for the Innovation Gallery, an initiative that aims to promote research, development and innovation in the sector.

Reflecting an industry strongly defined by its capacity for technological innovation and its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, the Innovation Gallery at C&R 2025 will platform the latest developments of exhibiting air conditioning and refrigeration companies.

Exhibiting companies can make their submissions until 12 September, to be analysed by a panel of experts that will select those that stand out for their innovative character.

C&R is the most important event on the calendar for the Air Conditioning, Heating, Ventilation and Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration sectors and in 2025 it will coincide with Genera, the International Energy and Environment Trade Fair; and Matelec, the International Trade Fair for the Electrical and Electronics Industry. The simultaneous hosting of these events will boost their professional appeal and enable synergies through the shared interests of the three fairs.

The International Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Exhibition 2025 takes place at a time of growth and transformation in the sector, driven by rising demand for more efficient and sustainable systems, as well as by technological development and new regulations and comes after the last edition in 2023 brought together 46,000 professionals and 398 direct exhibitors from 21 countries.
