From 23 to 25 June, BASQUENERGY Cluster took part in a new edition of The smarter E Europe, held in Munich. The event brings together under one umbrella the Intersolar, ees, Power2Drive and EM-Power trade fairs, consolidating its position as one of the leading international meeting points for the solar energy, energy storage, EV charging, and grid integration sectors.
BASQUENERGY Cluster had a shared stand at EM-Power Europe together with member companies Ariadna, Ormazabal, PcVue and Uriarte Safybox, under the “Solar PV Basque Country” brand. The exhibition space also included the participation of the Navarra Renewable Energy Cluster (ENERCLUSTER) and three of its member companies—Virena, Eosol and NTV Solutions—strengthening collaboration between the two territories.
In addition to participating in the shared stand, other Basque companies associated with the Cluster had their own presence in different areas of the event. These included CEGASA Energía, Carlo Gavazzi, Ingeteam, Jema Energy, Merytronic and Pronutec, reflecting the strength, innovative character and diversity of the Basque energy value chain.
Over the three days of the trade fair, the participating companies showcased their technological solutions and maintained an intensive schedule of meetings with customers, partners and potential international collaborators. The joint participation helped highlight the capabilities of the Basque energy industry and strengthen its presence in international markets.
BASQUENERGY Cluster also used its presence at The Smarter E Europe to highlight several collaborative projects in which it participates. These include AGROVITIVOLTAICA, an initiative developing an intelligent agrivoltaic system capable of combining solar power generation with the cultivation of Tempranillo and Malvasía grape varieties; CONFIA, focused on developing advanced techniques to estimate degradation and improve the reliability of power converter components; and RESINET+, centred on research into highly resilient power grids through the advanced design, control and protection of energy assets, with the aim of ensuring a more robust, flexible and secure supply.
The AGROVITIVOLTAICA project is funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), while CONFIA and RESINET+ are supported by the Basque Government’s Elkartek programme.
The next edition of The Smarter E Europe will be held again in Munich from 8 to 10 June 2027.
