About the SET Plan Conference
The 20th SET Plan Conference is dedicated to strengthening the competitiveness and sovereignty of European strategic energy technologies and will bring together key EU and national policymakers, investors, industry, researchers and other stakeholders to discuss how clean energy technologies can support affordability, competitiveness, energy security and resilience in Europe.
Programme
The agenda features high-level plenary and parallel sessions on reducing energy costs through innovative clean energy technologies, transforming the energy system, closing innovation gaps in Europe, non-fossil flexibility, industrial decarbonisation, offshore energy, clean energy manufacturing, sustainable heating and cooling, startups and scaleups, and the role of AI and digitalisation in energy systems.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of twenty SET Plan conferences, highlight lessons learned, assess current challenges, and explore how the SET Plan can continue to drive innovation, competitiveness, climate neutrality and Europe’s clean energy transition in the years ahead.
