This session will present key findings from the Clean Tech Skills Report: Trends Shaping 2027–2030, developed by InnoEnergy Skills Institute within the European Solar Academy. It will explore demand trends, critical roles, skills gaps and transferable capabilities across clean tech sectors, with a particular focus on solar PV workforce needs. The presentation will be followed by a short expert discussion on priority actions for industry.
This session is powered by:
The Road to the C-Suite, InnoEnergy’s Executive Development Program, starts with a simple question: how do leaders make good decisions when the world is changing fast?
At The Business Booster, a new cohort of InnoEnergy leaders will begin that journey with a masterclass from our new educational partner: the Cardano Foundation. Attendees will be exploring the growing connection between AI and blockchain. Beyond the headlines, these technologies are helping energy companies build trust in data, improve transparency, accelerate research, and make smarter decisions about the systems we all depend on. Through practical examples and real-world cases, participants will discover how digital innovation is already shaping the future of energy, and why the leaders who understand its human impact will be the ones best positioned to shape what comes next.
