Re-Thinking Energy Infrastructure: Empowering Decarbonization - Moving from strategy to implementation

17 January | House of Switzerland at WEF 2024

 - Kindly note that the event is fully booked -

This event will highlight regional perspectives on the global push to decarbonize the energy sector and showcase the concrete contribution Swiss companies are making in the areas of decarbonization not only by exporting its advanced technologies, but also by financing such innovative infrastructure globally. 

The recent energy crisis and the Paris Climate Accord both underscore the need to transform our global energy system. Accelerating decarbonization efforts with innovative and sustainable technologies in the infrastructure sector demands solutions not only from science and industry, but also from the financial sector. Interaction between these sectors, as well as between existing and new infrastructure, is particularly relevant in the implementation of larger programs, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the United States or the green hydrogen initiative in Brazil.

The discussion will be followed by a lunch break that will offer ample time for participants interested in business opportunities to network and interact with industry experts.

This is an exclusive event organized by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy in cooperation with Team Switzerland and ETH Zurich, on invitation only. The event is fully booked.
