THE EVENT

Energy and competitiveness in the hotel sector

The Mallorca Energy Summit 2026 will be a high-level gathering for CEOs, presidents, and corporate executives from leading hotel chains, alongside energy and technology companies, banking, and investment funds. The objective is clear: to accelerate the energy transformation of hotels in the Caribbean and Spain by connecting strategic vision, concrete technological solutions, and financing.

The event will consist exclusively of inspiring keynotes and panel discussions (no workshops), combining the perspective of hotel chains with that of technical and financial partners. The opening will be led by Meliá and Palladium Hotel Group, who will share their 2030 vision, with INNIO Group’s Jenbacher brand as the main partner, contributing their expertise in trigeneration and energy resilience for island destinations.

Alongside them, specialized sponsors in renewables, HVAC, and systems integration will participate, as well as banking and investment funds, to address:

How to shift from “energy cost” to a competitive and brand advantage.
Self-owned and resilient energy models (trigeneration, microgrids, self-consumption).
Efficiency in HVAC and domestic hot water (DHW) without compromising guest comfort.
Criterios de banca y fondos para financiar proyectos energéticos en hoteles 2026–2030.

Each speaker’s participation will focus on providing real-world cases, figures, and strategic decisions, avoiding a commercial tone and seeking content of maximum value for senior hotel management.

We move beyond theory to present proven success models in Spain and the Caribbean. Speakers will share concrete figures on savings, decarbonization, and return on investment that you can replicate directly across your assets.

A forum designed by and for final decision-makers. We bring together CEOs and presidents from leading hotel chains with banking and technology leaders, ensuring high-level strategic networking.

Practical, technical, and strategic focus.

We integrate all the pieces of the puzzle: engineering, management, and capital. We analyze not only which technologies to apply, but also how to finance them according to the risk and profitability criteria currently required by investors.

Connecting energy, guest experience, and profitability.

We transform energy management into a competitive brand advantage. Discover solutions that ensure maximum guest comfort and security of supply, increasing asset value without compromising the experience.

Dynamic format prioritizing conversation and valuable exchange.
