The Future of Energy 2025
Join us on January 9, 2025, for "The Future of Energy is Green and Digital" conference, where we will explore how green energy and digital solutions can work together to build a sustainable future.
"Mind the gaps"
This year’s theme, “Mind the Gaps” focuses on critical areas where progress is needed—scaling up energy production, enhancing efficiency, promoting sufficiency, and securing essential resources. As the green and digital transitions are deeply interconnected, we will explore how they can reinforce each other positively to accelerate the green transition.
What can you expect?
Through inspiring talks and insights from leading experts, researchers, and start-ups, we aim to identify the solutions needed to achieve climate goals and ensure affordable energy for society at large.
We look forward to seeing you there and to work together to bridge the gaps toward a sustainable future!
