“Estonia and Saxony – on the way forward to Clean Energy. Research – Innovation – Realization” in Tallinn

The prosperity of our society depends on a functioning energy supply. Our everyday life is no longer conceivable without electricity, heat and mobility. The aim of the energy transition is to implement a secure, economical and environmentally friendly energy supply. The development of technologies and social concepts for sustainable energy production, conversion and distribution are therefore a focus. Both Estonia and Saxony are working flat out to implement these objectives. This event serves to join forces in our two countries and to achieve more together. One base for the cooperation is the European research and innovation partnership CETPartnership, in which Saxony and Estonia work together with the EU. This partnership offers a good opportunity for cooperation along the entire value chain.
