The Energy Tech Summit is fast approaching and the excitement is building up as more details come into focus. With the preliminary agenda now live, we’re here to guide you through everything it has to offer. From thought-provoking sessions to can’t-miss activities, this year’s summit is set to be a game-changer.
First off, we’re heading back to Bilbao. Last year’s venue was a hit, and we’re ready to do it all again, but bigger and better. To stay ahead of the evolving industry, we’ll be exploring 7 new themes that cover a broad spectrum of the energy sector. On top of that, get ready for the annual Energy Tech Challengers pitch battle and exclusive side events.
What’s new this year?
From sustainable energy to AI and finance, Energy Tech Summit has it all covered. As always, we’re set to explore topics that matter most. Our esteemed advisory board, composed of industry leaders, has carefully selected this year’s most pressing themes. Let’s break them down:
Green energy infrastructure
What infrastructure is needed for a 100% renewable energy transition? Experts will explore the latest technologies and success stories driving this shift and their role in tackling climate change.
Green molecules
Green molecules have the potential to transform energy production and consumption to help tackle the climate crisis. Industry leaders will examine the possibilities of these game-changing compounds.
Energy meets AI
AI is the hottest topic of any tech conversation. This track will examine its role and visions for accelerating the transition to an AI-driven energy future.
Embracing natural capital
What role does natural capital play in our economy? We’ll discuss its impact on sustainable energy technologies, climate risk, carbon pricing, biodiversity costs, and the intersection of energy transition with ecosystem protection.
Climate policy
Paris agreements for net-zero goals are far from being achieved. Top experts will explore how stronger policies can help to ramp up these efforts.
Accelerating green jobs
With the growing demand for green tech expertise, the worker shortage can’t be forgotten. Let’s focus on bridging the talent gap and preparing the workforce for sustainable development.
Financing the climate stack
Finance is one of the biggest hurdles in fighting climate change. Experts will explore how catalytic capital, grants, and equity finance can unlock the funding needed to drive impactful projects and infrastructure development.
We’re thrilled to explore these themes with the leading industry experts to provide you with insights on what the future holds for the sector. Our speaker lineup is truly exceptional, featuring people passionate about making a positive impact on our planet. You can be amongst them, as our speaker applications are open until October 14, 2024, welcoming everyone with valuable knowledge to share.
Accelerating the energy transition
We’ll also see the return of the annual Energy Tech Challengers pitch battle – a platform for bold startups to showcase their groundbreaking solutions and compete for the spotlight. With new tracks added this year, it’s set to be the most exciting edition yet.
Startups will go head-to-head across seven categories, including:
- Green energy infrastructure
- Green molecules
- Climate finance & risk
- AI applications
- Scaling computing
- Carbon tech
- Decarbonization of X

Morning activities and city tours
If our event was just two days of talk, you’d probably tune out. It’s also about connecting with peers, exchanging ideas, and making quality connections. That’s why our agenda features city tours, morning run and yoga, and a networking party to keep the energy high.
The fun part: Late Night Summit
The Late Night Summit is an experience you won’t want to miss. Set in the iconic Guggenheim Museum, the hub of ideas and innovation beyond just art, the party promises to be one for the books, complete with live music, drinks, and networking opportunities.
