What is Foro Sella?
Foro Sella is a space for reflection and debate focused on key issues of economic and social development, such as energy, the environment, innovation, and, in general, the overarching objectives outlined within the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
The International Conference on Innovation in Industrial Energy Management is jointly organized by Foro Sella and Foro Industria y Energía, with the support of CEOE Aragón, the Aragón Energy Cluster, and the University of Zaragoza.
It will be a reference day for innovation in the field of renewable energy management in industry, addressing not only technological development but also new management models, regulation, public-private collaboration, and location.
Experiences, best practices, and knowledge will be shared to assist both national and international industry in the energy transition process, with special attention to promoting the Autonomous Community of Aragón as an industrial attraction hub.
