GET 2024 Logo
Sarah Howell, Head of the GET Congress
• The Strategic Conference will comprise of 38 sessions, the result of extensive consultations and inputs from international experts in energy, finance, and hard-to-abate sectors.
• Roadmaps to Net Zero will feature 54 high-level presentations from leading energy executives and pioneers, providing insight into the innovative business strategies that are accelerating our path to net zero.
• Project X-Change will showcase over 32 groundbreaking low-carbon projects and highlight the practical steps to reducing emissions in hard to abate industries.
The Global Energy Transition Congress and Exhibition (GET), set to launch from 1 to 3 July 2024 at the Allianz MiCo Milano Convention Centre, will bring together low-carbon energy sectors and high-carbon industrial ecosystems to accelerate the energy transition through decarbonisation technologies.
A Platform for Global Collaboration and Innovation:
The GET Congress will host one of the world's largest cross-sectoral meetings, involving institutional figures, CEOs, "net zero" experts, and key leaders in the global energy transition to foster innovative partnerships and promote policies supporting significant and urgent emission reductions. The Milan event will also serve as an unprecedented opportunity for leaders in energy, low-carbon solutions, utilities, and hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, mining industries, finance, digital technology, and startups to establish innovative partnerships and advocate for sustainable policies.
Sarah Howell, Head of the GET Congress, speaking on the urgent need for GET:
"In the transition, the phase of intentions is over, there is no more time, concrete actions are urgent, starting from what can be done today. It's about rapidly aligning ambitions and priorities and achieving 'net zero' goals. In this context, GET aims to engage very diverse stakeholders, including industry leaders, climate technology providers, investors, policymakers from all nations, scientists, and innovators to create a solid and sustainable ecosystem through new forms of long-term public-private partnership.”
Industry Leading Conference Programmes:
At the heart of the GET Congress is the Strategic Conference, which will host the event’s opening ceremony, as well as number of keynote addresses, ministers in conversation and CEO-lead panels. Consisting of three distinct session themes – Changemakers, Critical Agenda, and Transition in Action – the Strategic Conference will feature direct insights from executive leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs, with the aim of inspiring authentic action on the energy transition.
Moreover, through two specialised conferences – Project X-Change and Roadmaps to Net Zero – the GET Congress will highlight the projects, technological solutions, visions, proposals, and ideas that can accelerate the energy transition. Both programmes will build on a highly successful ‘Call for Papers and Projects’ - which saw more than 500 submissions from over 50 countries across 4 continents - to elevate the pioneers and innovators that are creating new avenues for decarbonisation.
The Project X-Change Theatre will feature more than 32 projects, with a mix of fully delivered, advanced planning and early-stage case studies. Project leaders will be given the opportunity to present their latest emission reduction undertakings. The programme will cover a wide range of solutions, including hydrogen, biomethane, nuclear energy, carbon capture and more. Companies presenting project case studies include: ACWA Power, Air Products, Neom, ITM, Linde, RWE, Enagas, Repsol, Snam, and Wood.
Meanwhile, the Roadmaps to Net Zero Conference will capitalise on existing momentum within climate -critical industries and elevate the innovative strategies that are transforming key sectors, including finance, transportation and energy. With over 50 presentations from leading executives, professionals and engineers, the Conference will provide a forum for experts in the energy transition to create new networks, freely exchange ideas, and compare innovative resolutions to longstanding concerns.
