Forum for the future

Change is the norm these days, not the exception. Markets are volatile. New technologies are developing at lightning speed. Regulatory frameworks, geopolitics and society are all in constant flux. How can businesses prosper in such turbulent times? What’s the secret to driving change that creates value, reduces risks and enables sustainable advancement – for organizations, people and the environment alike? These questions will feature prominently at the second Endress+Hauser Global Forum, to be held in Basel, Switzerland, on 14–16 April 2026. Over 2,000 customers, employees and young talents will gather at the event to work on visions for the future and figure out solutions.

“Being a family-owned company, we think long term and take responsibility for future generations. That’s why we created the Global Forum. It is a space wholly devoted to the future – one where experts and decision makers can share ideas, gain new insights and collaboratively drive sustainable change,” says Dr Peter Selders, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group.

The forum includes five Inspiring Sessions, where thought leaders will sketch out how companies can prepare for uncertain outlooks, build resilience and leverage environmental requirements, digitalization, circular economy principles and co-creation to achieve growth. Insight Sessions will contextualize these big-picture ideas at the process industry operational level, with Endress+Hauser, customers and partners presenting practical examples and first-hand success stories. Rounding out the forum will be an exhibition where attendees can witness products, systems and solutions for sustainable transformation and preview innovations from the development lab.

“No company can overcome today’s challenges on its own,” says Dr Selders. “Open dialogue, shared knowledge and partnerships founded on trust help us steer a sure course through uncertain times, master complexity and innovate. Only through working together can we turn major structural changes into opportunities.”
