SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 12, 2025 – The Center for Sustainable Energy Technology (KET) at Paderborn University is hosting its Spring Symposium on Thursday, February 27th, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Zukunftsmeile 2. The event, titled "Quo vadis Energiewende: Solutions for Transformation in Industry," offers a unique opportunity to network with experts from business and industry and gain practical insights into sustainable energy solutions.
Symposium Focuses on Practical Solutions for Industrial Energy Transformation
This symposium is designed for companies developing new energy solutions and components, as well as energy managers and decision-makers in energy-intensive industrial and commercial businesses. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is requested by Monday, February 24th.
"In an increasingly dynamic time marked by the need for transformation, companies face the challenge of making energy consumption more efficient and using process heat sustainably," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Henning Meschede, Chairman of the Board of KET. "Many innovative approaches remain unused. However, it turns out that the solutions are often more numerous than initially thought. At the Spring Symposium, we want to support companies in finding ways to exploit this potential and successfully master the transformation."
Expert Speakers and Interactive Discussions
The program will be opened by high-ranking experts from Paderborn University: Prof. Dr. René Fahr, Vice President for Knowledge and Technology Transfer, will give the introductory welcome address together with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Henning Meschede and Prof. Dr. Daniel Beverungen, Spokesperson for the Steering Committee of SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn. This will be followed by keynote speeches from industry and "blitz impulses" from KET.
"At thematic islands, we will gather questions and impulses from the participants for the subsequent panel discussion with experts from energy research and practice. Among other things, the discussion will focus on sustainable process heat, circular economy, energy storage, and artificial intelligence in connection with climate protection and data acquisition," summarizes Meschede. Klaus Meyer from "Energie Impuls OWL" will moderate the Spring Symposium.
KET: Bridging the Gap Between Industry and Research
The Center for Sustainable Energy Technology (KET) at Paderborn University acts as an interface between industry and research, promoting the exchange of knowledge and expertise in the field of sustainable energy. The Spring Symposium is one of the many ways in which KET supports businesses and organizations in their transition to a more sustainable energy future.
