17-19 April – EventHorizon (Berlin, GERMANY)

THE GLOBAL SUMMIT ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR



EventHorizon is the ONE exclusive annual event centered on energy blockchain solutions for a future based solely on renewable resources. It is a game-changing platform for the development of a customer focused, fair energy future. Once a year, EventHorizon unites the Who’s Who of both the traditional energy and innovative blockchain sectors.

The energy market is at a turning point. Leading experts agree that blockchain technology has the potential to shift the whole industry. Decentralized digital platforms will change the way people buy and sell energy. Blockchain technology enables us to build verifiable, secure peer-to-peer structures and it conciliates the use of data and privacy. In turn, this means that there will be a shift of perspective in our daily life.

EventHorizon brings together pioneers, experts and visionaries of both worlds, the energy and blockchain sectors, resulting in a powerful melting pot of diverse perspectives, innovations as well as informative content. The summit is predestined to leave a mark in the attendees way of looking at the future of energy.

18-20 April – EnergyCities (Rennes, FRANCE)

ENERGY TRANSITION: SHARING RESPONSIBILITIES, CHANGING GOVERNANCE

Our zero-carbon future is built through partnerships that are wide-ranging, both in scope and scale.

They will have to be forged between and within territories, between urban and rural areas, between city administration and citizens, between national and local governments, so as to create truly local alliances. Cities and regions beautifully capture what the European Union needs to be more: democratic, sovereign and united:

Democratic because good urban transformation and local energy policy involves all stakeholders. Sovereign, because innovative local development will be based on local resources; United, because cities connecting with each other, with their rural surroundings and with different other governance levels make up for a collaborative European territory.

In 2018 in Rennes, the flagship event of our network is meant to power those partnerships with people and ideas.

Agenda (20 April) 9:15-10:15 – The role of blockchain in the energy transition of cities Markos A. Romanos, Energy & Sustainability Engineer, Pylon Network COO (ES)
