The energy transition is not only a technological challenge. It is also an industrial and structural transformation that is redefining the entire sector. Innovating in such a critical field is rarely straightforward: technologies are complex, development cycles are long, and scaling solutions requires strong ecosystems.
Catalonia already has world-class talent, research centres and companies. The real challenge is turning this innovation into market adoption and real economic competitiveness.
Energia Connecta, organised with the collaboration of BStartup (Banco Sabadell) and the support of ACCIÓ, was created to bring together the key actors shaping this transformation. The event aims to open a strategic conversation about how the sector is evolving, how innovation ecosystems can accelerate the energy transition, and how technological breakthroughs can translate into real industrial impact.
Turning energy innovation into competitiveness
What does it take for energy innovation to become industry?
This roundtable will bring together five key perspectives that shape the innovation ecosystem, from investment and acceleration to corporate integration, international positioning and global connectivity.
The conversation will be moderated by Júlia Devin, Growth & Partnerships Manager at Norrsken Foundation, who will share her experience connecting different ecosystem actors and her perspective on European impact investment.
Speakers
