Welcome to EU Regional Digital Energy Summit ’26
Value of Digitalisation Beyond Imagination
Now in its fourth year, the EU Regional Digital Energy Summit is bringing together bold energy and digital leaders in Ljubljana (Grand Hotel Union) from 2–3 December 2026, to address the key opportunities & solutions shaping the energy sector in 2026 and beyond.
The greatest disruption in energy today is not just rising demand — it’s complexity. As AI, data centres, and renewables reshape how power is produced and consumed, utilities must move from infrastructure companies to digital platforms. McKinsey projects that those integrating AI, clean energy, and digital governance can boost EBITDA by up to 15%, turning disruption into opportunity.
Yet while technology accelerates exponentially, execution still moves linearly. Those who master reliable, measurable integration of AI and new technologies within complex energy systems will define the next generation of industry leaders.
The 2- day conference will focus on three strategic pillars shaping the digital transformation of Europe’s energy systems:
- AI-ready grids – predictive maintenance, flexibility, and reliability metrics that CFOs understand (SAIDI, SAIFI, NPV).
- Digital twins – physics-based and data-driven models for capacity planning, contingency testing, and faster grid connection.
- Standardisation & security – European interoperability frameworks (ETIP SNET, WG9) and governance where AI serves the system, not the other way around.
Hot topics across the programme will span from artificial intelligence, flexibility, smart grids, data analytics, machine learning, IoT, cybersecurity, smart metering, interoperability to, and sector coupling — all explored through these three strategic lenses.
Together, these focus areas lay the foundation for sector coupling — the seamless integration of power, heat, mobility, and industry that will define the next chapter of Europe’s digital energy transition.

Participants highlights from previous years?
“My first impression of the conference is very positive: a great audience, interesting discussions, and excellent food.”
“Digitalisation is currently one of the core topics. We have to share all the best practices and challenges we’re facing. What we discussed is quite interesting for all the stakeholders in the energy industry.“
“I always say that people have to get together to talk about the right topics about the challenges we are facing in Europe. It’s also important for me to see the feedback that we as a society as well as a company are on the right track. This event gives us exactly that.“
“All of us here are interested in making a change, in making digitalisation an important topic, which we have to talk about. Everything is well-organised and the venue is very nice.“
“It’s a perfect event. If you invite me again, I’ll come next year for sure because now is the right time to talk about the digitalisation. It’s a topic on the European level.“
“It was interesting to see that all the countries are in a big race to digitalise everything, to put everything under digital control, and how much the digitalisation has changed electro distribution, production and delivery.“
“The conference is a perfect opportunity to build a community. We don’t learn in silos—we learn as a community. For SAP, it’s about exposing ourselves to the industry and showing that we are not just providing software, but we are actually thought leaders.“
Jožek Gruškovnjak, SAP Switzerland
“It’s very important to meet other grid operators and exchange opinions, because we have common challenges, but solutions are quite different between different EU member states. The networking opportunity here gives us access to funding for projects and R&D partnerships.“
“Energy Transition is a generational project. So many people are involved, new stakeholders, new ideas. This is the best place to meet these people and understand how we can collaborate on the challenges we all face. .”
Klemens Reich, Austrian Power Grid AG
“The company can get recognized in this area and cross-border, present what we are doing, show references, and make agreements about potential new projects and collaborations with different partners. This event opens doors that wouldn’t open otherwise.“
“It’s the networking, without a doubt. Meeting the people, understanding their views, sharing opinions. There’s always something new that you take away—a different perspective of something. These events are brilliant for bringing people together to make real differences.“
“Benefit of attedning EU Digital Energy Summit is knowledge exchange, experience exchange, just listening what others do. And that’s always the most beneficial thing. The energy industry is conservative, but the way forward is towards digitalization and optimization. “
“This event is such a good one to present our technology because we are just starting and penetrating the market. We are trying to present our solution because we think we can save money and add additional value to the clients. “
“This is a great place to meet our customers, but also regulators, and to exchange on the pain points and challenges that are coming into the market of the utility companies. As a technology company, we want to recommend solutions that can be applied in digitalization.“
“These events are extremely important because they bring together people from different sectors and allow us to understand common challenges and share solutions. The cross-sector dialogue is invaluable for innovation. “
“We attended the even to meet all these great people and to learn that digitalization is the future of energy management and digital twins and interoperability. For me, it’s like new knowledge that directly impacts our business strategy.“
“This is a unique conference where both electricity and heat sectors are together. This brings a unique opportunity to have unique views into the combination between heat and electricity sector, which is super important for grid flexibility and heating stability. “
“Our goal was to present our expertise and our company, to share knowledge, and to meet new people. The main benefit was that we could showcase our very good solutions in this area and find potential partners. “
“The people coming to this event are really colorful from different areas and backgrounds, which complements us as a company and gives us insight into different topics. The main takeaway is to gain knowledge, make new friendships, and hopefully create something better in the future together.“
