From March 22 to 24, the first edition of the energy transition and sustainable energy fair will take place in Rimini, Italy: K.EY, the Energy Transition Expo.

K.EY offers an extensive platform for technology, integrated solutions and services for the energy transition to a CO2 neutral economy, focused on the themes of Wind Energy, E-mobility, Solar Energy, Hydrogen and Sustainable City. K.EY used to be part of the large Green Technology Expo Ecomondo. Due to the big success of the energy component, it has been decided to turn this into an independent fair. More than 20,000 visitors and 350 exhibitors are expected to participate, from Italy and abroad, with more than 100 conferences, workshops and networking events.

Netherlands Lounge

The Dutch Embassy in Rome and the Consulate General in Milan, with the support of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), are organizing a Netherlands Lounge at the K.EY Energy, which can accommodate up to 10 companies. The focus is on companies active in the Offshore wind and E-mobility sectors. The Lounge is located in the Wind Energy hall, connecting to the E-mobility hall. In case of exceeding the number of available places, a selection will be made of 10 companies, based on sector and interdependence.

Matchmaking with Italian partners is offered to the Lounge participants and also a Netherlands networking moment.

Participation costs

Participation fee is €300,00. Travel and accommodation costs are at the participant’s own expense.

Background

As the largest net recipient of the European Recovery Fund, Italy will make significant investments in green transition and sustainable energy. The current gas crisis has further increased the urgency for more sustainable energy and electrification. Italy will invest heavily in (floating) offshore wind farms in the coming years. Many projects have already been presented. There are interesting opportunities here for innovative Dutch offshore wind and maritime companies. E-mobility is also an important theme in which Italy will invest heavily, and in which the Netherlands is seen as an important leader.
