Summarize the Ripple in a couple of sentences
Topic overview
The energy transition in Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sectors in Europe is not only crucial in achieving the continent's ambitious renewable energy targets. It also plays a vital role in securing a more resilient energy system for Europe, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels imported from other countries. A significant number of start-ups have emerged over the last years addressing the challenges and opportunities in C&I energy procurement. In this ripple, we are aiming to shed light on the different value propositions and business models and discuss which models could be particularly poised for success, both from a commercial and resilience point of view.
What’s up for discussion?

Which companies are key players?
What are challenges and opportunities in further increasing resilience in C&I?
How does climate policy have to support the transition to more resilient procurement?
What level of resilience can we truly achieve?
Dream outcome
