A multi-perspective debate on the future of Polish energy

The PowerConnect Energy Summit conference is a forum for dialogue between political decision-makers, energy company boards, system operators, local authorities, investors, experts and representatives from the scientific community.

Discussions are focusing on the energy security of Poland and the Baltic Sea region, the directions of the EU's climate policy, and their impact on European industry and the competitiveness of economies.

This is where energy strategies meet real investment decisions.

Energy transformation from various points of view

Technical panels and sidebar discussions allow for an examination of the energy transition from an infrastructural, political, economic, social, and technological perspective.
Topics discussed include, but are not limited to:
  • the future of liquid fuels,
  • offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea,
  • Balancing the system with the dynamic growth of RES,
  • development of the hydrogen and biomethane economy,
  • the role of local authorities and communities in implementing investments.
  • Competency gap and growing demand for specialists
These debates are embedded in the real context of EU politics, the global energy situation, and geopolitical changes.

The industry all in one – conference + exhibition + networking

The PowerConnect Energy Summit is Poland's largest event, combining a high-level conference with an exhibition of technologies for the energy sector and critical infrastructure.

The project was jointly built by Międzynarodowe Targi Gdańskie S.A. (organizer of the exhibition part) and Defence24 Group / Energetyka24 (organizer of the conference).
Combining strategic debates with the business and technology space allows for:
  • immediate verification of needs and solutions,
  • the transition from conversation to a real partnership or contract,
  • Bilateral meetings, Suppliers Day and curated networking.

Contemporary energy is one of the main pillars of state security.

To operate effectively, one must understand the political, technological, and economic processes that shape it.

The PowerConnect Energy Summit is created to enable this insight — clearly, substantively, and factually.
