Turning Ambition into Action
3 June 2025, 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM
ACE Events, Brussels Belgium
InnoEnergy invites you to join us in Brussels for a half-day conference.
The Clean Industrial Deal places clean technologies at the heart of Europe’s decarbonisation and economic strategy. With a strong regulatory framework and clear market signals for clean tech now in place, the EU has laid the groundwork for industrial transformation. The focus must now shift to execution.
To deliver maximum impact in Europe – in both job creation and CO₂ emissions reduction – investment needs to flow faster into clean tech value chains. This includes improved access to land, affordable low-carbon energy, and streamlined permitting for new industrial decarbonisation projects.
This event will bring together public and private investors, established industry leaders, and emerging clean tech innovators. Speakers and panellists will explore new financing mechanisms to accelerate project development, best practices for launching greenfield industrial sites across the EU, and insights from frontrunner projects already delivering results.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Diego Pavia, CEO at InnoEnergy
- Jean-Christophe Laloux, Director General, Head of EU Lending and Advisory Operations at the EIB
- Anne Mieke van der Werf, Business Development Director at InvestNL
- Erwin Nederkoorn, Managing Director – Energy, Infrastructure, Energy Transition at ING
- Antonio Bandres, Head of Corporate Finance at ICO
- Antoine Troesch, Managing Partner at Demeter
- Ola Hansén, Public Affairs Director at Stegra (formally H2GreenSteel)
- Mikel Lasa, CEO of InnoEnergy Iberia speaking on behalf of Sunwafe
