From 23 to 25 June 2026, Ariadna will take part in EM-Power Europe, part of The smarter E Europe, at Messe München. The trade fair has established itself as one of the international meeting points for addressing the major challenges facing electricity distributors: modernising, digitalising and making the grid more flexible in order to integrate new consumption patterns, prosumers, electric mobility and distributed generation. In this context, Ariadna will present its vision for helping DSOs turn grid data into operational decisions, efficient planning and a more observable, flexible electricity distribution network prepared for the energy transition.


Ariadna to participate in The smarter E Europe 2026

From 23 to 25 June 2026, Ariadna will participate in EM-Power Europe, part of The smarter E Europe, at Messe München.

Visit us at stand C5.240 to discover Ariadna’s vision for the evolving role of DSOs in building more modern, digital and flexible electricity distribution grids.

 

What is The smarter E Europe 2026?

The smarter E Europe has become one of the leading international meeting points for the energy sector. By bringing together renewable generation, energy storage, electric mobility, smart energy management and electricity grids, the event offers a comprehensive view of the key challenges shaping the energy transition.

For Ariadna, EM-Power Europe is an opportunity to demonstrate how Distribution System Operators can turn grid data into better operational decisions, more efficient planning and investment criteria with measurable impact.

 

Why is EM-Power Europe relevant for Distribution System Operators?

EM-Power Europe is one of the four specialised exhibitions that form The smarter E Europe, together with:

  • Intersolar Europe, focused on solar energy.
  • ees Europe, dedicated to energy storage and batteries.
  • Power2Drive Europe, focused on charging infrastructure and electric mobility.
  • EM-Power Europe, centred on smart energy management, grid digitalisation, smart grids and flexibility.

This positions EM-Power Europe as the exhibition area most directly aligned with the key challenges currently facing electricity distribution companies: integrating new loads, managing DER penetration, responding to the growth of electric vehicles, improving grid observability and planning investments with greater precision.

The distribution grid is no longer a passive infrastructure. It is becoming a dynamic, complex and an increasingly demanding system. In this context, simply having data is not enough. The real value lies in turning that data into actionable knowledge to operate more efficiently, anticipate risks and decide where to invest.

 

Where will Ariadna be at The smarter E Europe 2026?

Ariadna will be exhibiting at EM-Power Europe, as part of The smarter E Europe 2026.

Stand C5.240
Messe München
23–25 June 2026

At our stand, DSOs, utilities, integrators and technology partners will be able to discover how Ariadna supports the transition towards a more observable, flexible and future-ready distribution grid.

 

 

Ariadna: a strategic technology partner for DSOs

Ariadna will be exhibiting The smarter E Europe 2026 not just as a technology provider, but as a strategic technology partner for Distribution System Operators.

The sector is entering a new phase, where deploying hardware, collecting data and implementing isolated solutions are no longer enough. DSOs now need to answer far more specific questions:

Where is the real grid problem?
Why is it happening?
Which action makes technical and economic sense?
Which investments should be prioritised?
What impact will they have on operations, power quality, reliability and regulatory compliance?

Ariadna responds to these needs with an independent, hardware-agnostic and value-driven approach, helping DSOs make better decisions by balancing CAPEX, OPEX, operations, maintenance, quality of supply and long-term grid planning.

 

Turning grid data into operational and investment decisions

Grid digitalisation must deliver measurable results. For Ariadna, digitalisation is not an end in itself, but a way to improve grid performance, reduce operational costs and ensure investment is directed where it creates the greatest value.

Ariadna’s platform combines:

  • Grid digital twin, creating a living, dynamic model of the distribution grid.
  • Advanced analytics, identifying losses, incidents, power quality issues, saturation, imbalances and risk scenarios.
  • Field device management, enabling the integrated management of assets, meters, concentrators and monitoring devices.
  • Integration with existing systems, connecting with SCADA, ADMS, GIS, AMI, MDM and HES.

Together, these capabilities allow DSOs to move from scattered data to a unified, actionable view of the grid, supporting more confident operations, reducing uncertainty and strengthening the basis for technical and economic decision-making.

 

A grid ready for DER, electric vehicles and flexibility

The integration of distributed generation, the growth of self-consumption, the electrification of mobility and the emergence of new loads are placing increasing pressure on distribution grid capacity.

To respond to this challenge, DSOs need tools that help them understand the real state of the grid, anticipate congestion, assess available capacity, simulate future scenarios and prioritise actions based on data.

Ariadna supports distribution companies in this transition through an intelligence layer that connects technical data, electrical expertise, advanced algorithms and operational experience. The result is a more observable, efficient and future-ready grid, capable of integrating new distributed energy resources with greater confidence.

 

An independent and agnostic vision to maximise grid value

One of Ariadna’s key differentiators is its vendor-agnostic approach. Ariadna’s solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with the manufacturers, technologies and systems already deployed across DSO networks.

This enables utilities to maximise the value of their existing assets, avoid unnecessary technological dependencies and move towards a more flexible and scalable approach to digitalisation. Rather than requiring companies to replace their existing systems, Ariadna integrates with each utility’s architecture to provide intelligence, analytics and decision-making capabilities.

In a regulated environment, where investment decisions need a clear rationale, this independence is essential for making objective, value-driven decisions.
