30th International HVACR Expo & Conference returns with global participation, youth engagement, and focus on energy-efficient, eco-friendly technologies.
The 30th Pakistan HVACR International Expo & Conference 2025, set to take place from June 19–21 at the Lahore Expo Centre, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of HVACR innovation in the region. Organized under the theme “Sustainable Environments Through HVACR Technology,” the event brings together the expanding domains of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration (HVACR), Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP), and Building Materials Services, creating a cohesive platform for technological advancement, sustainable design, and economic collaboration.
With over 33 international companies from countries such as Germany (joining for the first time), China, Turkey, Ukraine, and Iran, this year’s exhibition reinforces Pakistan’s growing importance in the global HVACR ecosystem. Over 250 exhibitors and thousands of professionals are expected to attend the largest dedicated HVACR trade event in Pakistan, offering a dynamic mix of networking, knowledge exchange, and cutting-edge product demonstrations.
What’s New at the 2025 Expo?
Focus on Energy Efficiency & Green Innovation
Post-COVID, the HVACR industry has undergone a paradigm shift. With rising concerns over health, indoor air quality, and climate impact, this year’s expo is centered on sustainable technologies and energy-efficient solutions—critical for a country like Pakistan facing chronic energy shortages. From eco-smart cooling systems to low-carbon refrigeration technologies, the event puts the spotlight on climate-conscious engineering.
Unprecedented Academia & Startup Participation
For the first time in the expo’s history, the platform is opening its doors wide to young innovators. Over 21 universities from across the country will showcase student-led startups, offering a glimpse into the next generation of engineers shaping the industry’s future. These academic exhibits, supported by signed MoUs between the Society and engineering institutions, aim to bridge industry-academia collaboration and promote homegrown innovation.
Empowering SMEs
The Expo offers a powerful platform for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to introduce new machinery, materials, and solutions. It provides local manufacturers a front-row seat to observe global innovations, adapt them, and scale for domestic and export markets. This focus on local capacity-building is a step toward import substitution and export-driven growth.
International Training and Technical Knowledge
Global expertise takes center stage with technical sessions and workshops led by industry experts from the U.S., Egypt, and Malaysia. Engineers and professionals can attend hands-on training programs and presentations of technical papers, offering invaluable exposure to emerging standards and practices.
Free Accommodation for International Visitors
In a move to boost international participation and forge cross-border partnerships, free accommodations are being offered to foreign visitors, allowing seamless access to Pakistan’s growing HVACR market and opportunities.
A Message from the Leadership
Ramzan Sharif, President of the Pakistan HVACR Society, emphasized that this landmark 30th edition stands not only as a celebration of industry growth but as a strategic platform for transformation.
“This Expo is more than an exhibition—it’s a catalyst for business development, innovation, and global integration. We’ve worked tirelessly to grow our Society, strengthen ties with government and international partners like ASHRAE, and advocate for a progressive, future-ready HVACR industry.”
The President also highlighted key engagements with bodies such as NEECA, the Ministry of Climate Change, EDB, and PEC, underscoring the Society’s active policy role.
Syed Fakkhi Iftikhar, Chairman of the Islamabad Chapter, echoed similar sentiments:
“Post-COVID, the HVACR field has evolved drastically. Health, environmental standards, and energy efficiency are top priorities now. This Expo brings new technologies that local SMEs and startups can learn from, replicate, and even introduce to global markets.”
Why This Expo Matters
In an era of rapid urbanization and climate challenges, HVACR is no longer a support sector—it is central to smart building design, urban resilience, and sustainable development. This year’s exhibition showcases breakthrough technologies that redefine how buildings are cooled, ventilated, and made energy-efficient.
From AI-enabled building systems to smart grid integration in HVACR solutions, visitors can expect a comprehensive view of how the industry is aligning with global green building trends.
Looking Ahead
With the credibility of nearly three decades and a forward-looking strategy, the Pakistan HVACR Expo continues to set benchmarks. For manufacturers, professionals, academia, and policymakers alike, the 2025 edition offers unmatched opportunities to network, learn, and lead. – ER Report
