Contributing to meaningful global dialogue and orchestrating the work of our expert community is a real privilege. Therefore, on behalf of the National Committee of Germany we warmly invite you to join us in Hamburg, in Germany’s gateway to the world, to the 90th IEC General Meeting 2026.
Since the 19th century, standardization has ensured safety, reliability, and sustainability in electrical and information technologies – always serving the public good. For almost 120 years, we have worked together globally and successfully under the IEC framework.
Today, we face major global challenges, and they require global perspectives: energy transition, digitalization, mobility, communication. Under the IEC umbrella, we create standards through dialogue, openness, and mutual respect. They ensure safety, progress, fairness, and a better life for people everywhere. Today, this work is more relevant than ever. We’re dealing with fast-changing technologies, increasing complexity, and the urgent need for hands-on solutions. And standardization helps turn innovation into impact – across sectors, across borders.
The IEC General Meeting is the annual highlight of this global collaboration. As a community of like-minded experts, we represent more than 170 countries. The impact of our work is significant as we will experience together again in 2026 in Hamburg. The strong international cooperation within the IEC paves the way for the future of our electrified world. This is how we help set the course for a better tomorrow. For global development, driven by standards.
