National Sustainability Summit 2023

National Sustainability Summit
The National Sustainability Summit, being held on the 23rd February in The Leopardstown Pavilion, Leopardstown Racecourse, will focus on the new opportunities for businesses and enterprising individuals arising from the Government’s recently published Climate Action Plan, which aims to achieve a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future for Ireland. Embracing every relevant sector – electricity, enterprise, housing, heating, transport, agriculture, waste, and the public sector – the Climate Action Plan identifies how Ireland will achieve its 2030 targets for carbon emissions, and puts the country on a trajectory to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Adopting the same model as the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, it sets out over 180 actions, together with hundreds of sub-actions that need to be taken.

Solar Finance & Investment Europe Summit

January 31-February 1, 2024 | UK

The UK and mainland Europe is targeting Net Zero by 2050. Realising this target would require current annual investments in clean energy to triple each year resulting in over 1 TW of installed renewable capacity by 2030, of which, solar would represent 50%. This necessitates an unprecedented scale up of capital markets, finance innovation, European grid infrastructure, solar development platforms, equipment procurement, storage deployment and installer capacity. The solar industry is in unchartered waters – allow us to be your guide. Solar’s pivotal role in Net Zero and decarbonisation ambitions, presents a near bottomless pool of opportunity available for investors, developers and European offtakers who are savvy enough to navigate current headwinds. Returning for its 11th year, Solar Finance & Investment Europe Summit will bring together the brightest minds representing funds, banks, developers, utilities, government and industry across Europe and the UK on a programme that is solutions-focused from top to tail. The event is designed to enable leaders at the forefront of solar investment and deployment in Europe to scale, learn and land themselves industry defining partnerships. We will showcase the latest insights on European markets, solar-related technologies and winning strategies from the best in the business. Join us in discussing next steps for the industry.

Advances in Rotor Blades for Wind Turbines 2024
