Review: 24th Brandenburg Energy Day Heat transition in Brandenburg - opportunities and solutions

Thank you to all participants and exhibitors of the Brandenburg Energy Day on 23 May 2024 who contributed to the success of this great industry event!

Heat transition in Brandenburg - opportunities and solutions
It was another great industry meeting at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, with a morning focussing on the heat transition, a lively panel discussion and three exciting, thematically diverse forums in the afternoon. There was also plenty of opportunity for dialogue with the almost 500 participating experts and anyone interested in energy topics, especially at the stands in the high-quality trade exhibition.

After the Energy Day is before the Energy Day!
The Brandenburg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Energy and the co-organisers - the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, the Brandenburg Chambers of Industry and Commerce and the Energy Technology Cluster of the WFBB - are looking forward to the 25th Brandenburg Energy Day.
