SPARK 2023 | 25 September 2023 | RAI, Amsterdam, Europaplein 24, 1078 GZ Amsterdam, Netherlands

We need SPARK now because

Emissions targets are becoming increasingly urgent, energy prices have reached record levels and Europe is grappling with energy security crises. This has caused huge challenges for all sectors which produce and consume energy to transition to low emission or zero emission alternatives while keeping costs down. New business models, technologies, funding mechanisms, and policy incentives will be key to achieving a sustainable future.

We need to enable sector coupling, to talk, debate and do business across industries and geographical regions.

OUR VISION IS TO CREATE THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT EVENT SERIES FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION.

SPARK will be the place for innovators and leaders in the energy sector to meet and shape the future of the energy transition.
