We invite you to the 13th SAPI Energy Conference, which will take place on October 4 and 5 in Senec. A two-day international event full of current topics from the world of sustainable energy awaits you, which will be guided by experts from various sectors. You can look forward to lectures and discussions by Slovak and foreign experts, with plenty of space for networking.

Two days full of news and open discussions regarding the use of RES and their further development will bring forth expert perspectives on current topics. We will focus on the new European electricity market design, technological innovations in photovoltaics and energy storage, the use of RES in the heating sector, methods of financing projects, and energy communities. In addition, a rich cultural and social program awaits the participants, who may use the time for further discussions, whether about the content of individual sections or about potential cooperation.
