The Regione Lombardia and the European Alliance to Save Energy are organising an event on 29 June aiming to build forward-looking partnerships between regions & businesses on energy efficiency.

30% of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and 37% of the EU’s Cohesion Fund is dedicated to climate action and Europe’s member states have important ambitions to improve energy efficiency in buildings – this will start in our regions so understanding the opportunities and partnering with experts will be very important. We will also have the opportunity to discuss the future of the Cohesion policy and what this means for energy and climate ambitions in the regions.

The event takes place in Brussels on 29 June, 10:00 – 13:45 CEST (including a light lunch).

Some confirmed speakers include:

• Personal video address: Elisa Ferreira, Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms
• Paula Pinho, Director, Directorate-General ENERGY, European Commission
• Quentin Galland, Group Public & Regulatory Affairs Director, Knauf Insulation
• Mario Giordano, Head of Public & Government Affairs in Italy; Head of Project Specification, Signify
• Andrea Voigt, Head of Global Public Affairs, Danfoss
