How will the energy transition give me a competitive advantage?
Switzerland is striving for climate neutrality and we would like to make a contribution to this. Numerous exciting events will take place from May 2-4 as part of the Green Days of the St.Gallen Energy 2030 network. We focus on the relevance of energy issues for SMEs and show how energy efficiency, climate protection and the circular economy not only contribute to sustainability, but also offer opportunities for a competitive advantage for SMEs.
Participants of this event can order a free public transport ticket for their journey. With the ticket you can travel to the Green Day events free of charge throughout the OSTWIND tariff network.
The event in brief
Make sure you reserve May 2nd to learn more about the most important topics of the energy transition and its implementation opportunities in SMEs.
After the introduction to the topic, we will, together with our partners, examine the questions that SMEs must ask themselves in order to successfully master the energy transition. The event is free.
