2024 Germany Executive Fact Finding Mission

Get ready for practical lessons with your peers in the market that has led the energy transition from the very beginning.

The mission is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending please complete the brief form below.

From the beginning, Germany has been on the cutting edge as a first adopter in the transition to a clean and efficient energy future. Germany has experienced all of the opportunities and challenges of this transition and continues to have critical lessons to share with us as the journey continues.

Currently, more than 50% of electricity is supplied by renewable energy.

Opportunities like this to explore other markets –  to see what is working and what is not – allow participants to reflect critically on their own biases and beliefs. These interactions also provide insights into the pace of change that our industry is experiencing. And they serve to highlight a truth – to succeed in the future, our businesses will need to adapt to that change.
