Innovators Zones

Innovation is at the heart of Enlit Europe

Enlit is a long-standing champion of innovators and disruptors, recognising the vital role start-ups, scale-ups and other entrepreneurs have in helping to accelerate the energy transition by bringing forward new ideas, fresh perspectives and novel solutions.

Part of this support is creating opportunities for start-ups and other innovative ventures to engage with and share their ideas, perspectives and solutions with the wider energy transition community.

Innovators and disruptors could choose between two exciting opportunities to exhibit at Enlit Europe 2024 in Milan.
