Implementing the Future of Smart Systems Today

Resource efficiency and digitalization are front and center at COP30 — in panels, in plans, in promises. But talk alone doesn’t power homes, irrigate fields, create jobs, or cut emissions. It’s time to move from words to action. The Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks Initiative (3DEN) is doing exactly that. Since 2021, 3DEN has been testing digital solutions that make power systems smarter, cleaner, and more resilient globally. Join 3DEN at the official launch of their second phase which is focused on turning ambitious goals into concrete results through pilot projects on the ground.
