EnergyVille business day

The theme of this year’s EnergyVille business day is: “Industrial valorization: Accelerated flow from fundamental hardware to system integration”. This aim of this day is bringing decision makers from industry, policy and knowledge institutes together and exploring the crucial hardware innovations that are driving the success of the energy transition, from cutting-edge technology to system integration. Our experts will provide valuable insights and updates and are open to discuss this with fellow change makers.
