The 2018 Hungarian Clean Energy & Disruptive Trends Summit was organized on 7th June in Budapest at the Europa Congress Center.

The focus of this year's event was on major trends and happenings in the energy industry that sometimes complement, while at other times contradict, each other but have turned the industry upside down, and have disproved theories taken for granted for the past several decades.

The key processes, their expected outcomes and any related questions were explained and answered by professionals with substantial industry experience.

Attendees gained insights into how the energy transition could reshape the Hungarian energy industry over the next couple of years. As for so-called disruptive technologies, they talked about the issues of digital transition; about the innovative new players entering the market, from fintech companies to car makers; about the industry's ongoing decentralization process and its expected outcome; about how to meet changing customer expectations; and about how the domestic and regional regulatory environment is changing, about investment and financing opportunities in Hungary and the CEE region, and about the increasing significance of smart solutions.

The target group and therefore the attendances were coming from energy companies, industrial customers, contractors, investors and investment funds, venture capital companies and representatives of the credit intermediation market.
