ASERCOM is excited to announce the programme for the ASERCOM Convention 2025, the flagship event for the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) industry, to be held in Brussels on 24 January 2025. This year’s event is structured around three essential perspectives – Policy, Market Insights and Challenges – designed to equip participants with a well-rounded understanding of the industry’s future.
“This year’s programme reflects a deliberate focus on connecting strategic discussions with real-world challenges. By addressing not just policy and market trends, but also the practical hurdles faced by our industry and the installers in the field, the Convention delivers actionable insights for all participants,” says Marco Masini, President of ASERCOM.
Programme Highlights
The Policy section will delve into the regulatory and political landscape shaping the RACHP industry. Sessions include an overview of ASERCOM’s achievements in brand awareness, perspectives on the EU political environment and key insights into medium- to long-term policies relevant to the sector. Sustainability and fair competition will be discussed under the heading ‘ESG’. This is followed by the critical topics of refrigerants and polymers as regulatory challenges.
In the Market Insights segment, experts will address emerging trends and technologies, including the future of heat pumps, reactions to the newly adopted F-Gas Regulation and the role of certification in ensuring a sustainable and competitive industry. Participants will also gain insights into cybersecurity and grid stability as enablers of efficient RACHP applications.
The Challenges section tackles pressing issues such as manpower and skills shortages, focusing on solutions related to training, safety and certification. Manufacturer liability will also be discussed, with updates on standards ensuring meaningful compliance and safety in RACHP components.
ASERCOM Convention 2025 promises to be a landmark event for the RACHP industry, bringing together policy-makers, innovators, and professionals to shape the future of the sector. A livestream will be available. Registrations for on-site and online participation are still possible online.
