The new energy landscape is particularly turning to digitization, decentralization and convergence of networks. These 3 pillars play a crucial role in the overall energy system and will, in the long term, secure investments, promote innovation and generate growth in Switzerland. These changes are made possible through an active and trusting exchange of thoughts and opinions as well as knowledge transfer of all industry participants.
Rapid technological change and regulatory guidelines for energy production and consumption are bringing about a structural upheaval in the energy industry. We need new, innovative solutions for energy networks, network management and, above all, business models. The network infrastructure is facing many different challenges, which is why cutting-edge and highly qualified expertise is required to meet the future demands of the market.
Exhibitors benefit from a fixed cap on costs with the all-in participation packages in order to present their products
and services to an interested and focused trade audience. The Networking Zone at the center of the exhibition offers exhibitors and visitors the opportunity to strengthen and build their professional network in a relaxed atmosphere – food is included for free.
At the Powertage trade forum, experts will hold high-quality lectures on the exhibition topics every morning. Speakers include specialists from the energy sector, the federal authorities and politics.
The main topics of the trade forum will be determined in close collaboration with the event advisory council and adjusted based on current market developments. The lecture series on Tuesday, May 17, is sponsored by the Verband Schweizerischer Elektrizitätsunternehmen VSE (Association of Swiss Electricity Companies), and the second lecture series on Wednesday, May 18, is organized by Electrosuisse. In addition, the Powertage trade forum is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, SFOE, and swissmig.
