    The Directorate-General for Energy of the Federal Public Service of Economy invites you to the first event of the Energy Transition Fund. This event will take place on October 4th, 2023 in the presence of the Minister for Energy.

    The Energy Transition Fund (ETF) aims to stimulate research, development and innovation in the field of energy to support the energy transition to more renewable energy such as offshore wind, to more flexibility and to higher security of supply. Find out how the more than 100 ETF-projects contribute to the energy transition. The event brings together a wide range of stakeholders for inspiration for the eighth project call in November 2023.

    More information about the ETF can be found on our website (Dutch / French).
