Programme

The European energy sector needs a platform that offers clear, concise and incisive thought leadership that looks to the future and embraces all players in the industry.

Enlit Europe is that platform.

Our programme is curated and created in cooperation with our Impact Circle and it features an exciting and inclusive range of content unlike any other energy event, presented in innovative ways. Speakers from the whole spectrum of the sector put Europe’s energy transition into context, outline the challenges and opportunities it presents, and spotlight the innovative projects and technological solutions that will shape the way we generate, consume and trade energy.

Hub Sessions

The Hub Sessions are open to all Enlit Europe attendees and will bring top-class presentations and panels onto the show floor in Paris, where knowledge & technology mix.

The Hubs are in prominent positions on the show floor, surrounded by best-in-class solution providers, and cover every key aspect of the energy sector:

- Decentralisation Hub

- Democratisation Hub

- Decarbonisation Hub

- Digitalisation Hub

Our team is working to create the 2023 Hub Sessions programme and more details will be released soon.

Summit

The Summit promises a new and exciting conference and networking experience, a festival of energy knowledge showcasing industry thought leaders. Hear the industry’s visionaries take the debate forward around the future direction of energy and interlinked sectors, such as transportation and heavy industry, leading the conversation when it comes to overcoming the roadblocks and identifying where the sweet spots for opportunity and innovation are.

The Summit puts an emphasis on the sense of urgency to accelerate the energy transition while bolstering energy security. The sessions bring you right up-to-date with the European Commission’s plans, reveal sector integration in action, unpack the future of digitalisation, debate the most likely energy scenarios and much more.

Listen to panel debates and presentations in the creative Summit environment which includes the Connect meeting area, coffee bar and an exclusive evening networking reception.

Stay tuned as we reveal more about the Summit programme.

Future Energy Leaders

Enlit is passionate about supporting and facilitating the engagement between next-gen talent and the industry - after all, many will become the leaders of the energy industry soon.

As part of this ongoing effort, Enlit will once again offer final-year and postgraduate students, as well as young professionals, the opportunity to attend the event as a ‘Future Energy Leader’, with full access to all the event has to offer.

We're also aiming to ensure that the voices of the next-generation community are represented across both the Summit and Hub Sessions programme this year, so, as well as being an educational experience attending the event, there will be opportunities to participate in panel discussions with inspiring industry practitioners, present the findings of research projects and network and connect with key industry speakers and leading organisations at the forefront of the energy transition. More information on these exciting opportunities and how to apply will be available soon.

EU Projects

EU-funded energy projects participating in programmes such as Horizon Europe, Life and CEF are our first line of defence against climate change. But sometimes it’s hard to hear their individual voices. During the Hub Sessions, the projects participating in the EU Projects Zone will share best practices, findings and technologies.

You will hear from projects from Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, the Bridge Initiative, Life, CEF, and representatives from ETIP SNET, ETIP WIND, ETIP BATTERIES, ETIP PV, SNETP and the EU Commission, on the following topics:

Digitalisation
Storage
Renewables
Regulation
Energy Communities
Smart Spaces (Inc. Smart Cities / Smart Buildings)

Connect Interviews

The hard questions are asked and answered in the Connect Studio with one-on-one interviews and journalist-led roundtable discussions. Stay tuned as we release new Connect interviews.

Watch the latest interview:

Elia chief says energy transition is ‘about anchoring industry in Europe’ - the conflict in Ukraine has created a sense of urgency among stakeholders to reduce the reliance on Russian gas. "And what is the best way to do that? Accelerate the energy transition.”
