Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy: Value Chain, Financing & Best Practice Workshops
Irish businesses in the food, beverage and transport sectors are under growing pressure to cut costs while lowering emissions. To support this, REEValue is hosting a full-day workshop of expert-led talks and presentations, bringing together national and international speakers to share practical, actionable guidance on energy management, financing and real-world best practice.
This hybrid event runs across three themed sessions: Value Chain, Financing and Best Practice, giving attendees a complete picture of how to build a more energy-efficient, financially resilient business.
Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to reduce energy costs, access funding and apply lessons from businesses that have already made the transition.
