The Triple Power of Flow: Human – Machine – Artificial Intelligence
Organized jointly by the Turkish Pump and Valve Manufacturers Association (POMSAD), the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Istanbul Technical University (ITU), and the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Middle East Technical University (METU), the 12th Pump-Valve Congress will bring together all stakeholders, experts, and decision-makers of the industry on 10–11 December 2026.
As one of the most established and comprehensive gatherings of the pump, valve, and fluid systems industry, this year’s Congress is centered around the theme:
“The Triple Power of Flow: Human – Machine – Artificial Intelligence”
The Congress will focus on the future of manufacturing, operations, and investment strategies within the sector.
This theme emphasizes that the future of our industry will not be shaped solely by technological investments, but by the effective collaboration of human expertise, engineering excellence, and artificial intelligence-driven decision-making systems.
While the human factor represents decision-making capability, experience, safety culture, intuitive thinking, and ethical judgment, machines and fluid systems remain the foundation of performance, durability, operational reliability, and real-world field applications.
Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, is opening the door to a new era through optimization, predictive analytics, data intelligence, digital twin technologies, and advanced decision-support systems.
Today, our industry is passing through a historic turning point driven simultaneously by digital transformation, energy-efficiency objectives, climate policies, investment pressures, and emerging international regulations.
Positioned at the heart of this transformation, the 12th Pump-Valve Congress will address technical developments, strategic directions, and new growth opportunities through a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective.
Key Topics of the Congress
The following themes will be among the major discussion areas of the Congress:
- Artificial intelligence-driven design, analysis, and operational processes
- Digital twins, big data, and advanced algorithms transforming system approaches
- The impact of the European Green Deal, energy-efficiency targets, and climate policies on investment decisions
- Critical facilities, energy storage systems, smart water management, and autonomous infrastructure
- European Union legislation, international standards, and emerging trade frameworks
- Sustainability, competitiveness, and evolving business models in global markets
More Than a Technical Event
The 12th Pump-Valve Congress is not merely an exhibition of products and technologies.
It is also a powerful platform where engineering visions, investment perspectives, emerging regulations, and the future strategies of the industry are discussed and shaped.
By bringing together technical expertise and field experience, the Congress will create a high-value interaction environment among academia, industry, public institutions, investors, and senior decision-makers.
Who Should Attend?
The Congress is designed for a highly qualified and multi-layered audience, including:
- Pump, valve, and related system manufacturers
