Cottbus in focus: Tech congress for clean energy starts soon!

Cottbus, Deutschland - Cottbus, the heart of Lusatia, becomes the scene of the "Decarbon Days"-a tech congress that deals with the future issues of clean energy from June 26th to 28th. Over 30 experts from politics, science and business will come together at this important event, which is pulse of the turn of the times and discusses the role of clean technologies for innovation and competitiveness. Niederlausitz Aktuell reports that the congress will take place in a former aircraft hangar where the future planned Lausitz Science Park will take place should be built.

The EU Summit “EU meets net zero valley”, which among other things politicians such as Dr. Christian Ehler and Kerstin Jorna will take part. Here important impulses for future energy policy are set and the course for the next steps towards a climate -neutral future are set. On June 27, panels, workshops and the award ceremony of the Female Energy Awards are on the program, an initiative to honor innovators in the areas of clean energy and technology.

diverse topics and discussions

The topics of the Tech Congress are as diverse as necessary. A central concern is the discussion about applied energy research to support Net Zero Industry. In particular, the focus is on the 100% renewable energy supply for both the present and the future. Decarbon Days shows how technologies can be combined in Lusatia in order to provide versatile energy supply services, including innovative digital planning tools for transformation of the regional heat infrastructure.

The contribution of the heat transition to the overall strategy of the energy transition is also discussed in detail. A reference power plant in Lausitz, which is the first power plant is completely based on renewable energies, is a shining example.

challenges and opportunities for the EU

As part of the "Decarbon Days", a look at the current challenges and opportunities that affect European industry is also taken A current assessment of key technologies for climate-neutral energy shows that the EU is excellently positioned in areas such as wind energy and heating and cooling networks. According to a report by the [Joint Research Center] (https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and-updates/climate-neutral-tech-solution-eus-Strong-lags-lags-2023-11-15_en, the EU has in many years in many years Areas improves and shows a growing innovative strength. Nevertheless, the challenge remains, especially in the commercialization of these technologies, which remains behind the expectations.

In the presentation, essential economic data is used and analyzed to measure the competitiveness of the EU compared to other global actors. While the positive trend in patents and public research investments is remarkable, there are concerns about the increase in imports and the trade deficits in key technology areas.

A talent day to strengthen the exchange

The crowning conclusion of the "Decarbon Days" is the talent day on June 28, which is designed in cooperation with the University of Zielona Gora and the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. In addition to job dating and political talk, the finale of the Climathon also takes place here, where creative solutions are sought for Cleanetech challenges. This not only promotes the exchange between experts, but also encourages the next generation of innovators to be interested in sustainable technologies.

The "Decarbon Days" are to become a recurring platform for Cleanetech start-ups and political actors in Europe. An ambitious goal that is all about sustainable and more innovative future. With all these developments it is clear: Cottbus is on the best way to become a center for green technologies.
