Innovation and technology are key to tackling today’s critical energy challenge: ensuring the efficient and sustainable use of resources.

To reach the “EU2020” climate change agenda, while ensuring tomorrow’s energy supply, we need to diversify the energy mix and make massive structural changes in the way we generate and use energy.

A major upgrade of electricity infrastructure is required, through the construction of new lines and the integration of ICT, in order to introduce an increasing amount of renewable energy, enhance energy security, and achieve energy efficiency.

In the current economic context, with governments focusing primarily on resolving short-term problems, what will the impact be on investment in infrastructure, innovation and climate change targets?

This high-level Summit explores today’s global energy market trends with insight from world-leading experts in energy-efficiency technologies and smart grid projects.

The Second Smart Energy Summit will bring together policy makers, industry leaders, investors, regulators, innovators and influential thinkers to tackle the tough questions necessary to achieve a secure, low carbon economy.
