The 2025 edition of the Heat Pump Forum & Awards will be hosted in Brussels, Belgium on 23 and 24 September. The event, which is the flagship annual event from the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), will gather European heat pump experts and leaders to discuss heat pumps’ contribution to goals such as energy decarbonisation, affordability, and independence.

Heat pumps are a central component of EU legislation such as the REPowerEU plan and the Clean Industrial Deal. Ramping up heat pump installation and ensuring that heat pumps are accessible to a wide audience is an essential step to stepping away from a dependence on imported fossil fuels.

As a co-creation platform for the heat pump strategy and accelerator, the Heat Pump Forum & Awards will bring stakeholders together to exchange ideas and advance the deployment of heat pumps through increasing production, consumer confidence, and investments in the technology.
