Wednesday is the most intensive day of the week. That is when the Cyber Security & Digitalization, a seminar dealing with the topical subject of energy cyber security, is organized as well as the Energy Regulation seminar with emphasis on regulation of the energy sector. The networking event Energy Match also continues on Thursday and offers professionals an opportunity to create new contacts and do business.

On Thursday, energy startups get wind under their wings at EnergySpin. Vaasa Gas Exchange takes place the same day, with MEP Henna Virkkunen as one of the speakers.

The week concludes as usual with Energy & Buildings on Friday. The seminar presents the latest energy solutions in buildings and the building sector, affecting thus nearly all citizens.

The side events during the week include apart from company visits for example a tour to the local brewery and restaurant Bock’s Brewery, a guided ATV tour as well as evening entertainment.
