Geothermal energy in transition
Decarbonisation and energy independence
In a global context of energy transition, geothermal energy stands out as a key solution to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Switzerland, with its technological advances, its legislative framework for renewable energy, its expertise in innovation and through its pilot projects, is positioning itself as a leader in the development and exploitation of geothermal energy in all its forms. This forum on 13 November in Bern aims to explore these issues, to share Swiss and international experiences, and to reflect on the next steps to make geothermal energy a pillar in Switzerland's future energy mix.
Effective networking for regional added value
The forum is the occasion to
- accelerate the integration of a natural, CO2 -neutral and local energy available 365 days a year in the energy mix,
- develop the geothermal energy market with regional added value.
Target audience
- representatives of municipalities, cantons and energy distribution companies
- companies involved in the planning and implementation of energy and geothermal solutions
- large property owners
- companies with large energy requirements
- investors
- actors of the energy transition.
Position your company in a growing market
The Swiss geothermal market is booming for shallow geothermal and is in a very dynamic development phase for mid-depth and deep geothermal. In 2025 the European Geothermal Congress will be in Switzerland. It is the right moment now to position businesses for this growing market. Take advantage and present your products and services during the forum in Bern.
