Digital revolution tackling energy transition

There will be no energy revolution without the effective use and financing of innovation in this field – this is one of the conclusions of the debate around a new report linking these issues.

The energy industry needs innovation, flexible solutions, and the courage to change, wrote the authors of the report, “Technology in support of Energy,” presented during the 31st Economic Forum in Karpacz. The report was prepared by the Startup Poland Foundation in cooperation with PGNiG Ventures and Microsoft.

The report covers such fields as photovoltaics, biogas, wind power potential, green hydrogen, and cyber security in the energy industry. Its backdrop is the crises of recent years, i.e. the pandemic, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the energy crisis it caused, as well as the climate crisis. All of this is compounded by the digital revolution and the energy transition, and the reform of the energy system.
