Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic invites representatives of Polish manufacturing, engineering, and service companies to participate in the „Meet the Buyer – TIER 1 Supplier Day” event, which aims to build a strong domestic supply chain for the developing offshore wind sector.
During the meeting, we will present the Group's strategic development plans concerning its role as a TIER 1 supplier for offshore wind energy in the coming years. Attendees of the event will learn about opportunities for cooperation with the Group and the conditions for entering the supply chain for projects implemented in the Baltic Sea.

European climate policy is reaching a turning point. The EU ETS emissions trading system, after more than two decades, is no longer assessed solely as an effective tool for achieving climate goals. Today, it is the foundation of the debate on whether our industry will remain competitive and society and the market will remain stable. During the panel, experts will discuss how to ensure that the specifics of the Polish market are reflected in the dynamically changing European Union law and what priorities we should present in Brussels.

The discussion panel will focus on the implementation of innovative projects in the European Space Agency (ESA) and collaboration with technology partners and contractors. Participants will concentrate on the lessons learned from previous cooperation with ESA. The discussion will cover, among other things, issues related to testing new technologies, risk management, organisation of pilot projects, and regulatory and technical barriers. The panel will be expert in nature and its aim will be to exchange experiences and good practices, rather than evaluate them.
During the panel, we will discuss, among other things:
• how our meter went into space,
• how we created Poland's first integrated network asset database and what resulted from it,
• how we participated in the creation of devices that didn't previously exist in the world.
Our partners from Phoenix-RTOS, Atlas, Apator, Mikronika, Gdańsk University of Technology and the Institute of Power came to the expert discussion, along with leaders of key projects undertaken at Energa-Operator. The discussion will be moderated by Bartłomiej Sawicki, an economic journalist and analyst.
It is possible to join the meeting after prior registration and receiving an invitation.

The ambitious investment plans of PSE for the coming years mean not only the modernisation and construction of many thousands of kilometres of new lines and substations, but also the development of innovations, such as rail bridge technology or their widespread use, for example, increased use of high-temperature conductors (HTLS).
The actions planned for 2025-2037 involve nearly 400 investment tasks, including: transmitting power from Polish offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, from nuclear power plants, integrating onshore renewable energy sources with the National Power System, and connecting new, stable generation sources and energy storage facilities. These investments are intended to significantly reduce the risk of failures by replacing depleted installations with modern structures. Furthermore, they can significantly increase the investment attractiveness of the region by creating conditions for locating and developing business activities.
Our aim is to engage local companies as subcontractors and to stimulate the modernisation and development of local electricity distributor infrastructure. We invite you to contact us via our website: https://inwestycje.pse.pl/ and to visit the stand of the Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne capital group.Speakers
