The headline topic of this year conference was Decentralization – Digitalization – Disruption – De-carbonization. The world as a whole is going through radical changes that will alter both our life and business context. At this conference we tried to find out how these changes might impact us and how we might already be exposed to them without knowing it.
During the conference, the prominent industry experts and people from academia shared with us their knowledge and ideas on what the 4 Ds mean in the energy world and beyond. We also held expert workshops where our guests discussed different aspects of the headline topic more in detail.
