Smart Energy 2024 event
What kind of energy independence for Switzerland, its regions and its companies?
In recent years, the world's energy supply has been disrupted by a series of events, from the Fukushima accident, to the turbulence of Covid-19, to more recently the war in Ukraine, among others...
Each country has had to adapt to guarantee the energy needed for its economy and the well-being of its inhabitants, and this has led to significant changes at all levels, from governments to ordinary citizens.
In this new context, renewable energies play a crucial role in ensuring energy independence.
With around 10 high-level speakers, 180 specialists in the field (distributors, producers, engineers...), privileged moments of exchange between specialists and a VIP evening on Thursday evening, the program promises to be enriching and conducive to innovation.
