The energy transition is creating unprecedented challenges for our infrastructure. The shift to decentralized generation and the rapid electrification of transport and heating are leading to critical issues like network congestion. A truly smart energy grid, capable of balancing these new demands, requires connecting the physical and digital worlds. To achieve this, every energy asset must become intelligent and connected.
This requires a new generation of robust, secure, and interoperable devices. But how do you develop them? How do you build lasting hardware for the ever-changing software that will manage the grid?
BrainPower Day is a workshop designed to address these questions directly. It is a collaborative space for leaders in the energy sector to explore pragmatic solutions, share insights, and define a clear path forward for the connected devices that will power our future.
Topics for Discussion
Our sessions are built around the real-world challenges of developing devices for critical infrastructure. We will work through key principles, including:
Product Strategy & Design
- Building in overcapacity for future use
- Configuring over building from scratch
- Prioritizing robustness vs functionality
- Developing secure-by-design products
Development & Validation Process
- Maintaining an end-user perspective
- Using a risk-based development approach
- Embedding product validation from day one
- Minimizing time to market
- Applying product management with the outcome in mind
- Fostering a culture of collaboration
Who Should Attend?
This event is designed for product owners, CTOs, innovation managers, and business leaders from grid operators, battery technology organizations, EV charging providers, and other innovators working on the energy transition. If you are responsible for developing the next generation of smart energy assets, you will leave with actionable insights and a clearer development roadmap.
