BIG IDEAS BY DAY. BIG CONNECTIONS BY NIGHT.

This year’s Summit dove into the forces shaping - and testing - Europe’s energy future.

Across three dynamic spaces - the Inspire Stage, the Evolve Stage, and the Connect Area - attendees could explore urgent themes through bold panels, sharp insights, and real-world stories from real people.

But it’s not just about what’s said on stage. It’s about who delegates met off it.

At the Summit, delegates are in the right place, with the right people - where conversations with decision-makers spark partnerships, and connections drive the energy transition forward.

2025 Summit Themes

European Competitiveness

What does Europe need to stay globally competitive as the energy transition accelerates? This theme explores industrial strategy, investment drivers, and geopolitical realities - starting with the “EU Commission’s session on Industrial Competitiveness”.

Electrification

From industrial processes to transport, where is electrification working - and where is it not? Join us to explore the reality behind the hype, including the panel "Electrification: Charging On or Powering Down?"

Optimising Grids & Network

How do we build a grid system that is smart, secure and adaptable? Sessions like "Security, Resiliency & Adaptation in Grids" take on infrastructure modernisation and cross-border coordination.

Artificial Intelligence

The AI revolution is here - but are we ready for the implications? From bias and ethics to cybersecurity and data governance, "The Grey Areas of AI" panel asks the hard questions.

Consumer Centricity

Customers are demanding more control, more transparency and more value. But are we listening? The session "Is Change Management the Secret to Customer Centricity?" will feature energy leaders transforming their organisations around the end-user.

Security, Resilience & Adaptation

How do we prepare for the unexpected? This theme runs across our Summit, including climate change scenario planning, grid resilience, and the role of Small Modular Reactors in energy stability.

Iberian Focus

Spain and Portugal are at the forefront of renewables and innovation. Hear how regional leaders are scaling solutions in the “Iberian Renewables Focus” session and beyond.

Securing Skills & Workforce

Without the right people, the energy transition fails. Our session "Workforce Roadmap to 2050" will dig into talent, skills, and what it takes to build a workforce fit for net-zero.
