Energy and Transformer Days 2024

SPAZIO NOVECENTO, Piazza Guglielmo Marconi, 26b, 00144 Roma RM

Co-Creating the path to NetZero

We're excited to meet you in person once again!

Over the centuries, few empires have enchanted history with the magnificence and grandeur of the Roman Empire. A golden era where mastery in construction, determination in pursuing greatness, and the connection of cities through an intricate network of roads shaped the destiny of a civilization.

The iconic expression "All roads lead to Rome" is the linguistic monument of that era. Over 400,000 km of roads, like vital arteries, connected every corner of the empire to its imposing capital. This network not only ensured unprecedented access to knowledge and resources but also symbolized the unity of a people that extended beyond geographical barriers.

Today, Hitachi Energy's contribution to the energy transition, together with partners and customers, is comparable to that glorious period. As over the years, together, we have woven a global energy network, connecting cities, places, and, above all, people. A strong and reliable bond that reflects the ancient Roman idea of convergence towards a common point.

We are excited to host you to the 18th edition of Energy & Transformers Days in Rome, where we celebrate not only technological innovation but also the strength of human connections.

This is not just an event; it is an emotional experience that commits us to co-create a sustainable future for all.
