#EMAnnualConference26

Giga Europe 2026 is the premier conference for the continent’s mine-to-grid battery supply chain – is returning to Brussels, the heart of EU policymaking. As Europe’s industrial competitiveness, energy security and climate goals become increasingly interlinked, Giga Europe will bring together government, industry and finance to align on how to secure, scale and decarbonise regional supply chains

Future of Utilities: Energy Transition Summit is where Europe’s energy future gets planned, financed and built. This is the energy conference for industrial leaders, utilities executives, and policy makers addressing energy costs, decarbonisation strategies, and competitive clean energy supply for European industry.

Bringing together 1,600+ attendees from across Europe’s energy ecosystem, the summit connects industrial energy buyers with utilities, grid operators, and energy suppliers negotiating the infrastructure, pricing structures, and partnerships enabling industrial competitiveness.

“A great platform to connect with industry experts.”
– Chief Operations Officer, Essent

“Inspiring talks and amazing networking opportunities.”
– Head of Flexibility Product Management, Enel X

The Summit features 130+ speakers from major European energy companies including National Grid, Vattenfall, E.ON, ENGIE, Statkraft, RTE, and Shell.

Key themes include:
• Industrial energy security and decarbonisation strategies
• Securing competitive energy supply for energy-intensive industries
• Corporate PPA structures and procurement strategies for volatile markets
• Grid infrastructure investment and connection strategies
• On-site generation and storage to prevent supply disruptions
• CCUS applications for industrial sectors

Dedicated sessions address industrial energy challenges: navigating energy price volatility, securing long-term energy offtake agreements, demand response partnerships with industrial facilities, and electrification pathways for hard-to-abate sectors. Panel on industrial energy resilience with European Aluminium and Shell explores decarbonisation while maintaining competitiveness.

Join Europe’s energy professionals shaping industrial energy strategy.

The flagship event for the European non-ferrous metals and raw materials sector, connecting policy, industry, and innovation.
