The locations that have been selected are all in town, for a total of approximately 50 events and meetings. Important figures in the field of energy will be coming from all over the world for the challenging task of explaining energy, focusing in particular on ‘intelligent’ energy.

Issues regarding energy will be discussed together with the experts present – all people working in various relevant areas of industry, politics and research – but active and productive debate with the general public will also be encouraged.

There will be special spaces for younger visitors, such as the Expert’s Corner for high-school students.

The issue of energy has become of central importance with the progressive decline in the use of fossil fuels, the great opportunity offered by renewable sources of energy and the problems related to nuclear power. An all-encompassing theme which crosses paths with development, production, mobility and preservation of the environment.
