France is going through a paradoxical phase: a temporary situation of electricity overproduction is coexisting with profound changes in the energy sector. New models for valuing the electron are emerging, even as the State is partially withdrawing and the ecosystem is being reshaped.
In this uncertain context, renewable energy (RE) projects are becoming more complex, business models are evolving, and social tensions are intensifying.
At the same time, the rise of artificial intelligence and, in the longer term, quantum computing is opening up unprecedented prospects. While these technologies promise significant productivity gains, they also fundamentally question professions, skills, and organizations.
What will the job of a renewable energy engineer look like tomorrow?
How can we support the human transformations brought about by these changes?
At the same time, these technologies are extremely energy-intensive: electricity demand linked to data centers is constantly growing. This dynamic could, in the medium term, strongly revive the need for new production capacities.
How can we anticipate this evolution?
How can we intelligently plan the energy infrastructure of tomorrow?
Finally, the climate issue is central. The environmental footprint of AI calls for a rethinking of energy models: can we imagine short supply chains between energy production, data centers, and digital uses?
The TECSOL conference proposes to explore a key question: under what conditions can AI and renewable energies become part of a truly virtuous circle—serving both the energy transition and humanity?
Don't miss the major Innovation Awards ceremony, a key highlight of the Forum showcasing the boldest and most practical solutions presented by exhibitors. Come and discover and celebrate this year's winners live!
The winners of each category were decided by a prestigious panel of judges, who evaluated the innovations based on predefined criteria, supplemented by the pitching sessions:
• Mohamed BOUSSETA, Director General of Green Energy Park (GEP)
• Isabelle PREVOT, Director at Business and Innovation Centre Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole (BIC)
• Jérémy SIMON, Deputy Managing Director at the Syndicat des énergies renouvelables (SER)
This prize-giving ceremony will also take place in the presence of representatives from the Region and our media partner La Tribune (names of speakers to be confirmed). A must-attend moment of sharing and inspiration to celebrate excellence within the sector!
