What kind of energy independence for Switzerland, its regions and its companies?

Event Smart Energy

The world's energy supply has been turned upside down in recent years. In the wake of the Fukushima accident, the turbulence of Covid-19 and the outbreak of war in Ukraine, every country has had to ensure that it has the energy supplies it needs to run its economy and ensure the well-being of its people. As a result, the balance of power shifted. And these changes have been felt not only in every country, but also in every region, city and company. The impact is also felt by ordinary citizens.

What is the role of renewable energies in this new context? How can we ensure energy independence at every level, and ensure that decisions can be taken locally, or at least regionally? For its 14th edition, the Smart Energy Event will present visions and concrete solutions applied at different levels. It's also an opportunity to discuss interdependencies and the role to be played by each and every one of us.

The event opens on Thursday evening with a plenary conference and VIP dinner. Friday morning will focus on the theme of energy independence, before giving way to the 2nd Start-up Pitch Competition, with start-ups presenting their innovations in just a few minutes.
