This session introduces INSIEME, which is a EU flagship project piloting the Common European Energy Data Space (CEEDS). INSIEME is paving the way for a secure, interconnected and digitalised energy infrastructure across Europe, empowering consumers and advancing EU decarbonisation goals.

The session brings together high-profile experts to explore how data-driven innovation is transforming Europe’s energy systems, with strong policy relevance and real-life deployments. Speakers from INSIEME’s consortium will share real-world use cases from across the continent , from boosting energy efficiency and flexibility (ETRA) and enabling community self-consumption & energy sharing (Digital4Grids) to enhancing grid flexibility services (ENEDIS) and advancing sustainable mobility (Volvo). They will also showcase new business model innovations (Enercoutim) and discuss how EU digitalization policy is being put into practice (EREF), demonstrating how these data-centric solutions empower consumers and drive decarbonization.
