2026: Energy efficiency = energy independence

Geopolitical instabilities, high energy prices and growing global competition make one thing clear: Europe must urgently increase its energy independence. Energy efficiency is a key asset in this transformation: It reduces energy demand, stabilises prices and makes Europe more resilient.

The European Energy Efficiency Conference 2026 presents policies, technologies and business models which increase competitiveness and make energy more affordable.
