CONFERENCE OPENING 2019

                                           RENEWABLES 24/7: ACCELERATING THE TRANSITION

                                           The ultimate goal is to establish a stable, clean energy supply – 24 hours a day, 7 days a
                                           week. But how do we get there and what business models are individual actors and companies
                                           developing to push this forward? Get involved and discuss fundamental elements of the new
                                           energy world!

                                           The public perception of the renewable energy industry is often limited to wind turbines, solar
                                           panels and green transport. The truth, however, is far more complex: This progressive sector
                                           comprises countless fields of activity and innovative applications, and also faces a variety of
                                           demanding requirements.The actors and companies driving the industry forward today have
                                           fully embraced the energy transition. This opening session will discuss basic elements of this
                                           new, emerging energy world – as well as aspects that are often overlooked. By exploring how
                                           it is already transforming our lives, expert speakers will showcase the enormous, ubiquitous
                                           potential to accelerate the energy transition and power the future.

                                          ➔ REFRESH YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND GET READY FOR
                                            A NEW WORLD OF ENERGY!
