Building Back Better and Greener: the Green Energy Transition

Austria’s 10-year Energy strategy was announced back in 2010. With some of the goals achieved ahead of schedule, the Austrian government has already set new ambitious goals for the upcoming years. Among those plans are to have 100% of electricity generated by renewables, to establish a more environmentally-oriented tax system, to offer new business opportunities, and even to become the #1 hydrogen nation.

Our special guest will discuss the following:

• What Austria’s key goals are for the next few years

• How Austria plans to become the #1 hydrogen nation

• The role of private investment in renewables in Austria

• Innovation programs as a fuel for energy tech businesses and startups in Austria
