KET in­vites you to our 10 year an­niversary

The transformation of the energy system toward a sustainable state is a central social challenge of the 21st century. On the way to flexible, cross-sector and intelligent energy systems, the focus lies on ensuring the secure, clean, efficient and cost-effective energy supply, which is also resilient to unexpected changes and crises.

Let us celebrate 10 years of KET! We will show you the practical and implementation-oriented successes of the past decade and discuss with stakeholders from industry, research and politics the significant contribution KET is making towards the smart energy system of the future.
