3. KET-Spring Sym­posi­um 2027

Behind us lies an inspiring 2nd KET Spring Symposium at Future Mile 2. We look back on exciting discussions and valuable insights from research and industry. A heartfelt thank you to all speakers and participants who filled this platform with their expertise! But after the symposium is before the symposium: We take the energy from the conversations with us and are already looking forward to welcoming you to the 3rd KET Spring Symposium in spring 2027. 

A heartfelt thank you to SICP for their great support as a partner. We'll see you at the 3rd KET Spring Symposium in spring 2027!

Look­back on past Spring Sym­po­sia

Re­si­li­ent. Re­gion­al. Re­gen­er­at­ive. - New en­ergy con­cepts for in­dustry

In view of the growing challenges posed by climate change, geopolitical uncertainties and volatile energy markets, the issue of security of supply is increasingly becoming a focal point for the industry. Decentralised energy systems offer promising approaches for greater resilience, sustainability and efficiency.

The symposium brings together experts from industry, science and politics to discuss innovative concepts, technological solutions and practical strategies for a robust, decentralised energy supply in industry. The focus will be on flexible energy systems, sector coupling, storage technologies, microgrids and regulatory framework conditions. The aim is to jointly identify ways in which industrial companies can organise their energy supply in a future-proof, economical and sustainable manner.
