About event

Europe's energy systems are under pressure like never before. Geopolitical shocks, climate extremes, and intensifying global competition have turned energy security into a question of sovereignty, economic stability and societal cohesion.

Research, technological development and innovation (RTDI) must rise to this challenge — not just advancing technology, but delivering measurable impact: secure supply, resilient systems and infrastructure, reduced critical dependencies, and a stronger European industrial base.

Impactful RTDI for Energy Security and Resilience – that's the focus of the CETPartnership Annual Conference 2026 (20–21 Oct.): how transnational, coordinated RTDI can deliver on this agenda across digitalisation and AI, cybersecurity, electrification, industrial decarbonisation, and cross-sector integration.

This event will bring together the research and innovation community to foster collaboration, explore groundbreaking projects, and align our shared vision for a climate-neutral future.

Join us to shape innovation that truly matters for Europe's energy future. Register by creating an account, logging into B2Match and clicking the green 'Attend' button.

The CETPartnership Annual Conference 2026 is a premier gathering of high-level policymakers, innovators, researchers, industry leaders, and funders driving the clean energy transition across Europe and beyond.
