Bridging vision and execution
17-18 September 2025
Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice / Katowice, Poland
This high-level event brings together representatives from academia, industry, finance, and public administration – key stakeholders united by a shared ambition to accelerate the sustainable transformation of energy and industry in Poland and across Europe.
Co-hosted by the Silesian University of Technology, the event centres on breakthrough technologies that enhance energy efficiency, scale low-emission energy solutions, and drive innovation in storage, mobility, and industrial systems.
The agenda blends strategic dialogue with hands-on innovation. It opens with an exclusive networking dinner, Friends of InnoEnergy: Bridging Vision and Execution, offering a space for policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to exchange ideas and forge new partnerships in an informal setting.
The following day features a fireside chat exploring how deep-tech spin-offs can successfully move from the lab to the market, followed by Shark Tank Silesia – a pitching session where selected startups from the SUT ecosystem and the Silesian region present their solutions to a panel of experts and investors. The programme also features a feedback session, where experts from science, business, and finance offer insights on how to unlock the full potential of academic-born innovation.
InnoEnergy Open Day @ SUT is where vision meets execution, and where Europe’s energy future connects with the entrepreneurial power of science, technology, and industry.
