Summit
Energy Saxony Annual Conference
The Energy Saxony SUMMIT is a conference for networking the players in Saxony’s energy sector and combines keynote speeches from business, science and politics with forward-looking specialist presentations and an accompanying company exhibition. At the annual event, trend topics are discussed and innovative technology solutions and services are presented that can be used to successfully shape the energy transition and the transition to a “green economy”.
Summit 2023
“Innovative storage technologies from Saxony: battery & hydrogen”
At the 8th ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT on June 22, 2023 in the Alte Mensa in Freiberg, around 100 representatives from business, science and politics came together to exchange views on current research results and practical experience reports on the efficient use of battery and hydrogen energy storage and to network. Applications, production and recycling processes for battery technology and projects for the use of hydrogen as an energy storage medium were presented as part of the lecture program, in an accompanying exhibition and in guided practical tours. Both technologies were put to the test in terms of their practical suitability and sustainability aspects.
Summit 2022
“Economy in transition: On the way to a green economy”
The 7th ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT on 2 June 2022 at the Börse an der Messe Dresden focused on decarbonization and the circular economy. The lecture program and the accompanying virtual permanent exhibition provided a good overview of Saxon research players, technology and service providers whose innovative solutions can help shape the transition to an economy geared towards sustainability, climate and environmental protection.
Summit 2020
“Smart districts: energy transition starts in the neighborhood”
The future belongs to smart neighborhoods. The intelligent coupling of the electricity, heating and mobility sectors at district level enables the control and optimization of energy flows. This saves resources, increases efficiency and reduces emissions. At the virtual ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT 2020 on 12 November, experts presented outstanding lighthouse projects as well as technology and service offerings that can be used to realize intelligently controlled districts. The event concluded with a political panel discussion on the topic of “Economic stimulus package – decarbonization as an economic driver?”.
Summit 2019
“Smart Green Cities: Green hydrogen for the intelligently networked city”
Green hydrogen is seen as the energy source of the future. In Dresden, the synthesis gas is now also available for refueling zero-emission hydrogen vehicles (TOTAL filling station, Wiener Str. 39). On September 18, 2018, experts from industry, science and politics discussed the many other possible applications of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in a digital energy system with coupled sectors at the 4th Energy Saxony Annual Conference at the International Congress Center Dresden.
Summit 2019
“Energy-COMMERCE: Market opportunities in the new energy system”
How can innovative business models contribute to the economic viability of climate-friendly technologies? At the 5th ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT with the main theme “Energy-COMMERCE: Market opportunities in the new energy system”, around 80 players from industry and research came together in the Salles de Pologne in Leipzig to discuss how money can be earned with new technologies and business models today and on the way to an energy supply from 100% renewable sources and how regulatory framework conditions could improve the economic viability of the concepts.
Summit 2017
“Taking ENERGY further – Mobile. Smart. Innovative.”
The automotive and energy industries are facing major changes. On September 18, 2017, around 180 experts from industry, science and politics discussed how the digital coupling of both sectors can be used as an opportunity at the 3rd Energy Saxony Annual Conference at Volkswagen’s Transparent Factory in Dresden. Under the motto “ENERGIE weiter gedacht – Mobil. Smart. Innovative.”, the convergence of energy and transportation systems through digital networking was highlighted using illustrative practical examples from industry and research.
Summit 2016
“ENERGY SUPPLY OF THE FUTURE – digital, flexible, climate-neutral”
At the 2nd ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT on September 27, 2016, around 150 energy experts from business, science and politics discussed the opportunities of ‘smart’ connectivity for the electricity and heating grids of the future at the International Congress Center Dresden. In the two specialist forums “Energy supply of the future: smart and decentralized” and “Flexible energy use: a prerequisite for the success of the energy transition”, technologies were presented that can be used to make the energy supply digital, flexible, affordable and climate-neutral.
Summit 2015
“Energy technology you can touch”
The 1st ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT kicked off on June 24, 2015 at the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden under the motto “Energy technology you can touch”. At the network meeting, the efficiency of research and production of the players in the energy industry based in Saxony was demonstrated. TESLA offered test drives in the Model S, Fuel Cell Energy Solutions presented the world’s longest fuel cell stack and the ILK Dresden provided refreshments in a special way. The patron of the 1st annual conference of Energy Saxony e.V. was the Saxon State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport, Martin Dulig.
