Four top speakers and an alderman, current status and insights into the energy transition and a two-course dinner: these are the ingredients of the KIVI Kring Drechtsteden meeting. The network emphasises the social impact of innovation and technology, the exchange of information and networking.
The energy transition is beginning to take firmer shape. A lot of work has already been done. Many citizens and companies and KIVI members have little or no knowledge of what the energy transition will mean for them. This meeting aims to give insight into where we stand in the energy transition.

The energy transition is a complex process and will have a huge social impact for citizens and companies. So it is time to get involved in the transition. The KIVI Kring Drechtsteden is therefore organising an evening with five speakers who have long been very involved in the preparations and implementation of the transition. Speakers who have studied in depth how citizens and companies accept the required transition in the complex social processes and an alderman who will reflect on the presentations.

The cost is 30.00 euros for all participants. This includes drinks, two-course dinner, coffee and, of course, the lecture. This should be paid on the spot. In addition, you should register via the KIVI Kring Drechtsteden website. Deadline for registration is 8 October 2018. Maximum number of participants 40.
