Industry-Science Meet Up
From research excellence to industrial collaboration and European scale
Energy Valley, the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) invite you to an afternoon designed to turn research insight and industrial needs into concrete opportunities for collaboration.
Europe’s energy transition is unfolding amid geopolitical uncertainty, new demands for competitiveness and resilience, and a growing need to move promising technologies from research towards testing, investment and industrial use. Industry–Science Meetup 2026 brings researchers, technology leaders, specialists and business developers together to examine where cooperation can make a practical difference.
Three connected perspectives
Industrial decarbonisation and emerging value chains:
CO₂ as a feedstock, natural hydrogen and opportunities for new industrial collaboration.
Safe, resilient and resource-efficient energy technologies: Materials, batteries, sensing, diagnostics, safety and longer technology lifetimes.
Europe’s future energy system: Energy and climate scenarios, resilience, industrial choices and the implications for investment and value chains.
Each session combines short research contributions with a concrete challenge from industry and a focused discussion. The aim is not only to present new knowledge, but to identify relevant test cases, project ideas and partnerships.
UiO and IFE will also introduce selected initiatives seeking dialogue with Norwegian industrial actors, including work on natural hydrogen, smarter and more resilient batteries, and next-generation European energy and climate scenarios. Energy Valley will explain how interested companies can engage and how promising opportunities will be followed up.

Havvindkonferansen – Science Meets Industry 2026.
Konferansen arrangeres av Universitetet i Bergen ved Bergen Offshore Wind Centre (BOW), NORCE og GCE Ocean Technology.
I Bergen møtes akademia, næringsliv og offentlig sektor for å dele ny kunnskap og nye ideer om havvind. Igjen fyller vi Universitetsaulaen med faglig tyngde, ærlige diskusjoner og folkene som bygger norsk havvind.
Dette er arenaen din for å få oversikt over det siste innen havvind, møte nøkkelfolk fra forskning, industri og forvaltning, og bli med i diskusjonene om teknologi, politikk og marked.
I år løfter vi blikket mot veien videre for norsk havvind – fra politiske ambisjoner til industrielle muligheter og teknologiske løsninger.
Deltakelse og kostnad
Konferansen er åpen for alle, men retter seg mot deg som jobber med havvind – i forskning, industri eller offentlig sektor. Her møtes akademia og næringsliv på tvers, og det er hele poenget.
Alle priser er inkl. mva.
- Ordinær: 1 000,–
- Student: 100,–
- Aktiv politiker: gratis
Student: bruk egen påmeldingslenke med din student-e-post. Aktive politikere deltar gratis – send e-post til kbc@gceocean.no for påmelding.

Energy Valley på Kongsberg Agenda. Hydrogen 2035: Fra pilot til posisjon
10 – 10 Jun12:00 – 13:00
Kafe Tråkka 1. etg, Kirkens Bymisjon, Kongsberg
Hvordan bygger Norge konkurransedyktige hydrogenverdikjeder?
Hydrogen trekkes fortsatt frem som en viktig del av fremtidens energisystem, særlig i sektorer der direkte elektrifisering er krevende. Samtidig går utviklingen saktere enn mange forventet. Kostnadene er høye, markedene umodne og utviklingen preges fortsatt av pilotprosjekter og usikker etterspørsel.
Samtidig ser vi nå tydeligere tegn på at markedet er i ferd med å modnes:
- EU øker støtten til hydrogenprosjekter og industrielle verdikjeder
- Norske aktører lykkes med å hente betydelig europeisk finansiering
- Maritim sektor peker seg ut som et mulig tidlig anvendelsesområde
- Diskusjonen handler i økende grad om industrialisering og skalering – ikke bare teknologiutvikling
Arrangementet sees også i sammenheng med BalticSeaH2 – et europeisk hydrogen valley-prosjekt der Energy Valley deltar sammen med industrielle og regionale aktører fra ni land rundt Østersjøen. Prosjektet arbeider med utvikling av grensekryssende hydrogenverdikjeder og regionale hydrogenøkosystemer i Europa.
Dette reiser et strategisk spørsmål for Norge:
Hvis hydrogen skal spille en reell rolle i 2035 – hvor bør Norge faktisk satse for å bygge konkurransedyktige industrielle verdikjeder og en troverdig markedsposisjon?
Arrangementet tar utgangspunkt i dette spørsmålet, og løfter diskusjonen fra teknologi og pilotering til strategiske valg, industriell retning og europeisk posisjonering.
