Wels, AT

Geopolitical instabilities, high energy prices and growing global competition make one thing clear: Europe must urgently increase its energy independence.

Energy Transition Summit

London, UK

Rising geopolitical tensions, volatile supply chains, AI-driven demand and climate-change-inspired investments are converging to reshape the energy landscape. The pressure is mounting, not only to decarbonise, but to build smarter, faster and more resilient systems that can power a digital, electrified economy. This event explores the energy transition through a technology lens. Can innovation scale quickly enough to match soaring demand and emissions? Will AI become the grid’s greatest ally or its biggest drain? How can smarter grids, long-duration storage, clean fuels and fusion unlock resilience, investment and growth? And what do shifting alliances, global unrest, industrial policy and critical-mineral constraints mean for energy security?

Might 2026 be a tipping point? Join us to uncover what’s next, connect with global decision-makers, and help shape the future of energy in an age defined by urgency, uncertainty and opportunity.
