"Rooftop Soirée: Screening for Sustainable Energy"

As a tech start-up committed to driving sustainability and green transition through software development in the mobility sector, we are thrilled to present an event that promises to make a significant contribution to the EU Sustainable Energy Days 2023. Our event consists of two parts, from which we aim to inspire, educate, and catalyse positive change in the pursuit of a greener future. These two parts combine the power of visual storytelling with engaging discussions among esteemed guests from academia, start-ups/SMEs, and friends, but also people from pop-culture with cinematic knowledge. More specifically, the first part will be a sustainable-themed movie projected atop our building and the second one will be a public dialogue afterwards regarding the outcome of the movie and the sustainable energy issues in general.

1. Fostering Awareness and Education: Our event will create a platform to raise awareness and educate the audience about the pressing need for sustainable energy practices. By showcasing a sustainable-related themed movie, we will captivate attendees, immersing them in a thought-provoking cinematic experience. Through the power of storytelling, we can effectively communicate the urgency of sustainable energy and the positive impact it can have on our planet and future generations.
    
2. Multidisciplinary Dialogue: The event will feature an open public discussion afterwards, involving guests from the academic world -specifically both from the field of engineering as well as from the field of international and European studies-, guests from the entrepreneurial world such as employees and experts from start-ups on the same sector and also friends and students. This unique blend of perspectives will foster a rich exchange of ideas, insights, and experiences. By bringing together key stakeholders, we can encourage cross-pollination of knowledge, creating a collaborative atmosphere for innovation and sustainable solutions. This multidisciplinary dialogue will serve as a catalyst for change, sparking new ideas and initiatives.
    
3. Networking and Collaboration: Since EU Sustainable Energy Days 2023 is a gathering of like-minded individuals and organisations committed to sustainability, our event will provide an ideal setting for networking and collaboration, offering attendees the opportunity to connect with experts and entrepreneurs in the sustainability and energy sectors. By facilitating meaningful connections, we aim to catalyse partnerships and synergies that can drive forward the green transition. Such collaborations are crucial for fostering innovation, accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices, and scaling up impactful solutions.
    
4. Inspiring Action and Mobilising Change: One of the primary goals of EU Sustainable Energy Days 2023 is to inspire action and mobilise change at both individual and collective levels. Our event aligns perfectly with this objective. By combining the emotional impact of the sustainable-themed movie with the enlightening discussions, we will ignite the audience's passion and commitment to sustainable energy practices. Attendees will leave the event empowered with knowledge, ideas, and a renewed dedication to contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.

How does this event contribute to EU’s energy and climate goals?

Our event aligns with the objectives of the EU's Clean Energy for All Europeans package, which aims to ensure a sustainable and affordable energy transition. By raising awareness about sustainable energy practices, our event supports the goals of the EU Energy Union Strategy, which seeks to achieve a low-carbon, secure, and competitive energy system.

The event corresponds with the EU's Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart and Sustainable Mobility, promoting collaboration between academia, start-ups/SMEs, and related fields. It aligns with initiatives such as Horizon Europe, which supports research and innovation to drive sustainable development in the energy sector, and the European Green Deal, which emphasises the importance of knowledge exchange for achieving climate neutrality.

Our event also contributes to the EU's Digital Agenda for Europe and the Digital Europe Programme by showcasing the role of software development in advancing sustainable mobility solutions. It aligns with the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, which focuses on decarbonising transport and promoting the use of digital technologies for sustainable mobility.

Plus, this event supports the objectives of the EU's Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, which encourages local authorities, businesses, and civil society to collaborate on sustainable energy projects. It also aligns with the EU's Connecting Europe Facility, which promotes the development of sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure through cross-border partnerships.

Lastly, our event aligns with the EU's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). It supports the EU's Climate Law, which establishes a framework for achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Additionally, our event contributes to the objectives of the EU Sustainable Energy Week, which aims to raise awareness and promote sustainable energy initiatives across Europe.

Conclusion:

Our event, which encompasses a sustainable-related themed movie and a public discussion among esteemed guests, offers a remarkable contribution to the EU Sustainable Energy Days 2023. By fostering awareness, encouraging dialogue, facilitating networking, and inspiring action, we aim to play an integral role in advancing sustainable energy practices and the green transition targeting both the sustainability experts and youth audience.
