At E‑world 2026, Materna shows how energy suppliers, grid operators and municipal utilities are successfully driving digital transformation. The focus is on personal exchange, real-world projects, innovative technologies and the digital future.
The energy industry is facing a historic transformation. Rising regulatory requirements, growing security risks and targeted attacks on critical infrastructure, volatile feed-in, and increasing cost pressure are converging with an ever more complex IT and data landscape. At the same time, digitalization, data strategies and Artificial Intelligence are opening up powerful new opportunities to make grids more secure, more efficient and more resilient.
Experience it live at E‑world energy & water 2026: In Hall 5, Booth F136, Materna will showcase data-driven solutions and AI applications that enable grid operators, energy suppliers and municipal utilities to actively shape the energy world of tomorrow.
At the center is the question of how data can be transformed into measurable value. Our experts demonstrate how AI-based risk management detects threats early, assesses them intelligently and enables effective countermeasures – a key factor for protecting critical infrastructure. This is complemented by AI-supported forecasts that enable better decisions in planning, operations and maintenance.
Another focus is the “way out of the data jungle.” Many companies have vast amounts of data but do not fully exploit their potential. At the booth, visitors will learn how robust data strategies are developed, how data silos are broken down, and how future-ready, data-driven business models are created.
Cloud strategies also play a central role: from greater agility and scalability to increased innovation, improved security and cost efficiency. Drawing on extensive experience from customer projects, Materna develops sustainable solutions for using modern cloud architectures in a targeted and compliant way, without losing sight of regulatory requirements or operational reliability.
A special highlight awaits visitors with an immersive experience: Using the Apple Vision Pro, they can explore infrastructure projects in their real environment, even before the first shovel hits the ground. Planning, operations and communication are taken to a new level, making complex projects clearer, more tangible and easier to understand.
That these approaches work in practice is demonstrated by numerous successful projects with renowned customers such as Amprion, RheinEnergie, TransnetBW, enercity and Thyssengas. Real-life examples illustrate how efficiency is increased, processes are automated and critical infrastructures are protected for the long term.
E‑world also provides the ideal setting for personal exchange. Interested trade visitors are invited to schedule a one-on-one meeting in advance to discuss specific challenges and discover tailored solutions. As an added benefit, those who book an appointment receive a free one-day ticket for the trade fair.
Visit us in Hall 5, Booth F136, and let’s explore innovative solutions together. We look forward to inspiring your projects and advancing the energy transition with data and AI.
