 Auditorium Friedrichstrasse - Berlin, Germany
Gurobi Optimization is delighted to invite you to:
The 2025 Energy Innovation Summit will gather a diverse community of thought leaders, researchers, industry experts, and decision-makers to explore the transformative potential of open Energy System Modeling and Optimization in accelerating the energy transition.
Be part of the conversation in Berlin as we shape the future of energy optimization and drive innovation toward a more sustainable and equitable energy future. Our mission is to promote transparent, collaborative, and accessible modeling and optimization solutions that address the most pressing energy challenges.
This year’s summit is designed around two dedicated focus tracks, tailored to professionals and experts with a strong interest in one of the following areas:
Each track features a full day of keynotes and Innovation in Action talks.
Connecting both audiences, Day 2 offers a shared space for learning and collaboration. Participants will benefit from in-depth technical sessions, hands-on training with Gurobi Optimizer and PyPSA, and a dedicated Business-Meets-Optimization Workshop designed to turn insights into impact.
