Unlocking Digital Intelligence for a Smarter, Greener Energy Future

Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as a critical enabler of the net-zero energy transition. From managing the inherent variability of clean energy sources to optimising traditional assets and orchestrating hybrid energy systems, AI is reshaping the entire energy ecosystem - from production and operations to market trading and government carbon regulation.

AI for Energy Transition Europe 2026 (#AIETE2026) taking place on March 11–12 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, is Europe's Only Event Dedicated to Accelerating AI-Powered Energy Transformation. Bringing together over 350 senior executives from energy producers, utilities, technology innovators, and ecosystem partners, the summit offers in-depth engagement across seven strategic AI application areas in energy transition, spotlighting scalable use cases, replicable business models, and investable AI solutions that fuel broad adoption and unlock measurable commercial value.

Co-located with Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2026 and Sustainable Fuels Global Summit 2026, this event anchors a comprehensive dialogue on digital and low-carbon innovation shaping Europe’s future energy ecosystem.
