Event review: Energy meets Industries by Drees & Sommer

A captivating convergence of energy and industry at the Drees & Sommer event

Jimmie Langham took part in Drees & Sommer's ‘Energy meets Industries’ event in Darmstadt. The event was inspiring and characterised by a dynamic mix of insightful presentations, lively discussions and plenty of opportunities for one-to-one conversations. Conversations emphasised the urgent need for renewed dynamism and a constructive, respectful culture of communication, especially in today's digital era.

The highlights of the event

The event brought together an eclectic mix of professionals from the manufacturing, utilities, logistics and real estate sectors, all united by a common goal: paving the way to a sustainable and decarbonised energy future. One particularly outstanding moment was the presentation by Prof. Dr Dr h.c. mult. Schellnhuber. His insights into the urgency of accelerating the energy transition left a deep impression. There are numerous challenges ahead of us, but the need for immediate action is clear.

A call to the next generation

A notable announcement for next year's event emphasised the importance of engaging the next generation. People are encouraged to bring successors, children or students to ensure fresh perspectives are brought to these important conversations.

The event has set the bar high and we are already looking forward to the next edition.
