Rinnovabili District 2025

Renewables District: the Innovation Stage kicks off at Smart Building Expo

At Smart Building Expo, an immersive exhibition area: the Renewables District.
Three days of updates and dialogue dedicated to the urban transition, where experts, companies, institutions, and research centers will take turns exploring the challenges and opportunities of future energy, with a focus on its connection to cities.

A rich three-part program

The main stage program will offer three days of high-value content, organized around major thematic focuses. At the heart of the discussion: the key challenges of the urban energy transition, addressed through inspirational keynotes, thematic panels, exclusive interviews, and networking moments among the leading players in sustainable innovation.

Each day will be dedicated to a strategic macro-area:

The new frontiers of renewable energy and emerging energy models
Renewable Energy Communities, energy efficiency, and digitalization
Advanced technologies in the fields of storage, electric mobility, AI, and smart cities

All sessions will be livestreamed across Rinnovabili’s official channels, amplifying the event’s reach and offering national and international visibility to the content shared.

Renewable energy and new energy models: the focus of day one

The opening day of the Renewables District will be entirely dedicated to innovation in renewable energy sources and new models for a distributed, participatory, and sustainable energy future.

Kicking off the program is a high-level keynote, followed by in-depth panels on:

Emerging photovoltaics
New business models
Financial tools for energy systems
Focus on green hydrogen, geothermal energy, small wind power, and district heating

The day will also feature regulatory updates and insights from institutional and academic representatives.

Renewable Energy Communities and smart grids: solutions for a concrete transition

The second day at the Renewables District will be dedicated to the evolution of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) and their increasingly strategic role in local and sustainable energy management. At the core of the program is an open discussion focused on:

concrete experiences in the implementation of RECs;
support tools and organizational models;
integration with smart grids, distributed storage, and decentralized energy management.

There will also be space to explore the evolution of key professional roles, such as Energy Management Experts (EMEs) and specialized installers, along with a regulatory focus led by industry experts.

Emerging technologies, smart cities, and resilient energy systems: the future of urban energy

La giornata conclusiva del Rinnovabili District sarà interamente dedicata all’evoluzione tecnologica dei sistemi energetici urbani e alla loro trasformazione in chiave digitale.
The final day of the Renewables District will be entirely dedicated to the technological evolution of urban energy systems and their transformation through digitalization.
On the Renewables District stage, there will be space for:

advanced storage systems and electric mobility,
artificial intelligence and smart grids,
solutions for increasingly efficient, predictive, and integrated energy management.

Significant attention will be given to the digitalization of energy, with a focus on software for monitoring, control, and optimization of consumption in smart buildings, urban districts, and public infrastructure.

Through inspirational keynotes and thematic panels, the opportunities offered by new technologies to make cities more resilient, autonomous, and sustainable will be analyzed. This day will also include regulatory insights by industry experts and contributions from institutional representatives and the research community.

An immersive ecosystem for companies and innovators

Alongside the stage events at the Smart Building Expo, an immersive exhibition space will come to life where partner companies can showcase cutting-edge technologies, meet stakeholders, and position themselves within a Rinnovabili-branded innovation district. This curated and authoritative environment is designed to foster real opportunities for dialogue, exchange, and collaboration, enriched by numerous networking sessions.

The Renewables District confirms itself as a space to explore solutions, models, and strategies related to energy efficiency, renewables, and urban digitalization. A unique opportunity for all operators who want to be protagonists of change.
