A multi-perspective debate on the future of the Polish energy sector

Summit PowerConnect is a platform for dialogue between policymakers, energy company management boards, system operators, local governments, investors, experts, and representatives of the scientific community.

Discussions focus on energy security in Poland and the Baltic Sea region, the directions of EU climate policy, and their impact on European industry and economic competitiveness.

This is a place where energy strategies meet real investment decisions.

Energy transformation from different points of view

Substantive panels and behind-the-scenes conversations allow us to look at the energy transformation from an infrastructural, political, economic, social and technological perspective.
Topics covered include:
  • the future of liquid fuels,
  • offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea,
  • balancing the system with dynamic growth of renewable energy sources,
  • development of the hydrogen and biomethane economy,
  • the role of local governments and local communities in the implementation of investments.
  • competence gap and growing demand for specialists
These debates are set in the real context of EU policy, the global energy situation and geopolitical changes.

Industry complete – conference + trade fair + networking

PowerConnect Energy Summit is Poland's largest event combining a high-level conference with a technology fair for energy and critical infrastructure.

The project was jointly developed by the Gdańsk International Fair (MTG SA) (trade fair organizer) and Defence24 Group / Energetyka24 (conference organizer).
Combining strategic debates with the business and technology space enables:
  • immediate verification of needs and solutions,
  • moving from conversation to real partnership or contract,
  • bilateral meetings, Suppliers Day and curated networking.

Modern energy is one of the main pillars of national security.

To operate effectively, it's essential to understand the political, technological, and economic processes that shape it.

PowerConnect Energy Summit to provide this insight—in a clear, substantive, and fact-based manner.
