System innovation for the future of energy supply

How do we move from isolated innovations to fully functioning system solutions for the future of energy supply?

This Tech Forward Circle, facilitated by Ignite, brings together actors with hands-on experience in innovation – who are now ready to take the next step: creating real impact through collaboration across startups, industry, and the public sector.

With a focus on the energy transition, this Circle explores how innovation can be scaled in complex systems where technology, business, policy, and infrastructure intersect.

We’ll focus on four key areas:

• How do we move from pilot projects to full-scale implementation in the energy system?
• What does it take to build viable business models in multi-actor collaborations?
• How do we better connect startups with the right problem owners, test environments, and partners?
• How do we build solutions that work across entire systems – not just in isolated parts?
