EIC showcasing 10 pioneering solutions at the European Sustainable Energy Week

The European Innovation Council (EIC) is hosting two exciting sessions at the European Sustainable Energy Week, showcasing successful companies in their innovation journeys – represented at C-level.

One session focuses on pioneering renewable energy solutions, highlighting companies that are rapidly scaling up their operations. The other session dives into shaping energy efficiency, featuring brilliant minds transforming how we use energy. Both sessions will offer presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, and a chance to connect with the future of energy. EIC Programme Managers Francesco Matteucci and Marco Antonio Pantaleo will feature among the speakers, and Nuno Quental and Johannes Bunz will moderate the sessions.

The conference brings together industry leaders, innovators, and tech enthusiasts like you to explore the future of energy. It features a high-level Policy Conference, the EUSEW Awards, and the European Youth Energy Day, alongside an interactive Energy Fair where you can connect with the EUSEW community.

Don't miss your chance to be part of the future of energy! Register for the European Sustainable Energy Week 2024 and join these exciting sessions.
