Recording of Thursday, May 08, 2025 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 86:56 .
The geopolitical situation, the decline in confidence and the challenges in the area of renewable energies and storage technologies have become even more pressing in the past year. Added to this is the unsatisfactory bureaucracy and long processing times for approval processes. We urgently need a realignment of our global energy transformation process with stronger bridges between Europe, Asia and the USA. Leading platforms are available for ongoing communication with all stakeholders, such as "The smarter E Europe" exhibition and conference. These platforms can make a significant contribution to trust building, the joint development of internationally applicable quality and sustainability criteria as well as the better coordination of production hubs. "The smarter E Europe" is an excellent opportunity to provide the necessary impulses and strengthen transatlantic bridges in the interests of a common, sustainable climate policy.
Together with its partner EUPD, VDE Group has invited international experts from industry, the financial and insurance sectors and the policymakers to a high-profile panel discussion. We are particularly pleased to be able to welcome personalities from the USA, China and Europe to this discussion and thus contribute to a forward-looking international dialogue. The panel will address topics that were recently discussed at the World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos. During the discussions in Davos, a joint manifesto on the global transformation process in the energy sector was prepared, which will be discussed further at this panel in Munich. In particular, the urgent need to improve market confidence, ensure quality, bankability, insurability and appropriate sustainability criteria will be highlighted in the panel discussion.
