2025 Energy Innovation Summit: Driving Optimization Strategies for Climate Action in Berlin

## 2025 Energy Innovation Summit – Gurobi Optimization

Gurobi Optimization is excited to announce the **5th Energy Innovation Summit**, a platform dedicated to **Optimization Strategies that Accelerate Climate Action**. The event will take place from **June 24-26, 2025**, at the **Auditorium Friedrichstrasse** in **Berlin, Germany**.

The **2025 Energy Innovation Summit** will bring together a diverse group of thought leaders, researchers, industry experts, and decision-makers to discuss the transformative potential of open Energy System Modeling and Optimization in facilitating the energy transition. This year, we are proud to co-host the Summit with **Open Energy Transition**, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration, transparency, and innovation across the energy sector.

Join us in Berlin to participate in shaping the future of energy optimization and driving innovation toward a more sustainable and equitable energy future. Our mission is to promote transparent, collaborative, and accessible modeling and optimization solutions that tackle the most urgent energy challenges.

This year’s summit will feature two dedicated focus tracks for professionals and experts interested in the following areas:

1. **Modeling & Optimization for the Energy Transition**: Explore how open models and advanced optimization tools can deliver climate-resilient, cost-effective energy solutions.
2. **Power Grid Optimization & System Planning**: Discover the latest advancements in planning and operating secure, future-ready electricity networks.

Each track will include a full day of keynote presentations and **Innovation in Action** talks. On Day 2, we will provide a shared space for learning and collaboration, offering participants in-depth technical sessions, hands-on training with Gurobi Optimizer and PyPSA, and a dedicated **Business-Meets-Optimization Workshop** aimed at converting insights into impactful actions.
