A significant event highlighted is The smarter E Europe Munich (InterSolar Fair), focusing on global challenges such as geopolitical issues and supply chain disruptions impacting energy transition sustainability. Co-moderated by Burkhardt from VDE and Daniel Fuchs of EUPD Group, discussions emphasized sustainable energy policies connecting German initiatives with European frameworks centered around hydrogen economies and CO2 reduction technologies. Key speakers included Sam Baldwin advocating geothermal heat pumps over air-source ones due to their efficiency during cold spells; Amita Hemeling (CEO Goduni International); Till Kellerhoff (Club Rome program director). They stressed collaboration between technology organizations like VDE/EUPD alongside governmental bodies globally advancing sustainable practices through partnerships across sectors. Public-private partnerships are crucial in advancing research within the Department of Energy (DOE) where competitive solicitations foster innovation despite limited public awareness necessitating enhanced communication efforts. Collaborative approaches involving industry stakeholders are essential for progress in underdeveloped areas facing scaling cleantech hurdles amid unreliable legal frameworks across regions including Europe.

Talk of session: Where do we Stand: Key Elements of a Trust-based Sustainability Strategy in the Energy Sector Impulses from Europe, the USA and China

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.
