Topsector Energie had the need to share (inter)regional knowledge as a foundation for community management, with a special focus on the possibilities of AI both within and outside the energy sector. This initiative evolved into a learning network that addresses issues at the intersection of ICT and energy: the Digital Energy Academy. Within this network, businesses, research institutions, and educational organizations approached technical aspects from a multidisciplinary perspective, incorporating social-organizational, change management, legal, and ethical viewpoints. This approach reflects the complexity of digitalization in the energy sector and aligns with the growing need for integrated collaboration in society.
The Digital Energy Academy focused on essential aspects such as proper data management, cybersecurity, and the ethical and socio-cultural questions that arise in these contexts. Additionally, the goal was to inspire participants by showcasing excellent examples and outlining future possibilities. A regional approach was central, offering (and continuing to offer) a framework for effective engagement. We are pleased to share the results with you in the form of a PDF (the PDF is in Dutch).
“Proud to contribute to this. Many thanks to all participants, as it’s only through dialogue that we can make progress step by step.”
– Claire Groosman, Program Manager at Topsector Energie and Co-developer
“It was truly a very valuable day! Thank you for the perfect organization!”
– Patrick Kools, 2nd degree connection, Director Clean Energy
