Technological development and new trends fundamentally disrupting the industry are radically reshaping not just ideas concerning the future of energy supply but also energy industry players themselves.
What challenges and opportunities does digitalisation, decentralization, changing consumer demand and the appariance of new entrants to nations, corporations and investors? How can they adapt to changing conditions? What does energy transition mean to consumers? We will seek to answer these and other questions in presentations and panel discussions.
