Introduction

Cambridge Investment Research has run 46 successful technology conferences since 2002 involving over 4275 participants. This includes 7 prior Smart Grids and Cleanpower events 2009-2016.

This event takes place within an expanding exchange network: services, technology, products, money, information, analytics, shared experiences. There will be excellent new technology, key overlaps and crossovers, routes to growth and change.

We will examine how the 4IR (4th industrial revolution) applies to energy infrastructure and what the manifestations of this investment and growth will be and how this will improve the network and solve the energy trilemma making for affordable energy in a grid that is flexible, securer, sustainable and lower maintenance than ever before.

Purpose

As organisers, our focus is to help delegates achieve sales now or in the short run, to move towards sales, to increase brand recognition off and on line, improve the internal understanding of the value network, technology landscape and market structure across over 500 smart grids projects globally.

At this event, providers of smart grids technology and products and project owners and buyers will meet.
