Industry 2050: What Does the Future Hold? 🌍 | Part 1 of the Conference on Energy Research in Industry and Commerce

Energy research in industry and commerce is key to achieving the transition to a climate-neutral, resilient, and competitive economy.

⚡ At the 2026 Congress on Energy Research in Industry and Commerce, we therefore posed a central question: What will industry look like in 2050?

In this first reel of our three-part series, you’ll meet some of the participants—researchers, industry representatives, innovators, and policymakers who are already working on tomorrow’s solutions today. 🌍

They share what drives them, the issues that matter to them—and how they envision the industry of the future:

🔹 Holistically climate-neutral

🔹 Circular economy as a core principle

🔹 CO₂ emissions significantly reduced

🔹 Energy self-sufficient and internationally connected

The congress demonstrated: The future of industry isn’t happening sometime down the line—it’s happening now, through people who have visions and put them into practice. 🚀

Stay tuned for Reels 2 and 3—where we’ll discuss specific innovations, challenges, and the next steps on the path to Industry 2050.
