On February 18 we will advocate for the necessary, because the inevitable, convergence of several economic fields in a connected, virtual, data driven world of digital realities. Beyond seeing each other mainly on digital communication platforms, all important economic sectors and activities – among them energy, finance, transportation, communication – advance towards digitalized realities which make the boundaries blurry and invite to similar approaches across all the fields.

We will address the hot topics of the moment for the Romanian and regional economies and societies, in 3 plenary sessions, for taking a competent look at the trends, leaders, solutions and synergies for industry, municipalities, and each of us.

Pandemics put a new light on automation/digitalization in industry when it make almost impossible for people to cover timely all the operating needs. As activity reduced, some organizations discovered the time needed for maintenance, refurbishment and technological updates previously delayed. Has the IoT’s relevance increased in Romania last year? Has the interest for analytics systems to make sense out of the new realms of data available increased? How can one make use of technologies like 5G, sensor tech and edge computing in real-time for increased operational and financial performances?

Liberalization means more space for competition. Forced to, or enabled to get closer to their clients, energy supply companies display various levels of readiness. Asked to provide qualified insights on their clients (profiling, for example), they admit to not being prepared for a large scale operation like this. Not even the contracting of new customers is prepared so that significant changes to happen in short time. Even more than before, digital operating models are mandatory in the energy industry, and clients management is at the core. What is the role of AI in energy supply? How energy companies integrate and create demand for new technologies? How do (local) entrepreneurs answer such needs?
