The transition to a sustainable and low-carbon industry is a key focus in economic policies across Europe and globally. In this context, the roundtable discussion "Green Transformation of Industry: Business and Technology", scheduled for February 27, 2025, in Ruse, will bring together industry representatives, academia, and policymakers to explore the latest trends in energy transition and industrial modernization. 

The event will provide a platform for dialogue between experts from Bulgaria and abroad, sharing their experience in sustainable energy, energy efficiency, and the digitalization of industrial processes. 

Trends in the Green Transformation of Industry

The industrial shift towards greener and more efficient technologies is essential for economic competitiveness. The European Union places a strong emphasis on the development of renewable energy, energy-efficient processes, and sustainable resource utilization. 

The key trends to be discussed at the event include: 

• Application of renewable energy in industry – solar technologies, wind power, and hybrid solutions for energy independence. 
• Energy efficiency and automation – digital solutions for consumption management and industrial process optimization. 
• Decentralized energy production and storage – innovative systems for energy accumulation and distribution. 
• Smart grids and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – technologies for real-time monitoring and control of industrial facilities. 

International Experience and Innovative Models

A highlight of the event will be the presentation of successful international practices in industrial transformation. The Norwegian innovation company Proneo will share its expertise in structuring a green industrial park and creating sustainable business ecosystems. 

The experience of leading European companies demonstrates that investments in innovative energy solutions not only reduce carbon footprints but also improve economic performance.
