Catalisti Connect 2025: Energy & Innovation
Antwerp , Belgium
Join us on Thursday, June 26th at the iconic Zoo Antwerpen for Catalisti Connect 2025, our annual flagship networking event. This year’s theme, Energy & Innovation, focuses on one of the most pressing and transformative challenges the chemical industry is facing.
From electrifying industrial heat to developing low-emissions feedstocks, the chemical sector is under pressure to reinvent itself. But as highlighted in recent research by the McKinsey Global Institute, only 10% of the low-emissions technologies needed by 2050 have been deployed today. The road ahead demands bold innovation, strategic investment, and cross-sector collaboration. The transition is not just about ambition—it’s about execution, scale, and radical innovation.
Catalisti Connect 2025 is where that conversation can start. Let’s connect, collaborate, and reimagine the future of industrial energy—together. Register here.
“Industrial Energy, Reimagined”, a keynote by Dr. Jan Rosenow
How can the chemical industry transition to clean energy without compromising performance, cost-effectiveness or reliability? What innovations are needed today to avoid lock-in and ensure long-term resilience? What does "Industrial Energy, Reimagined" look like? We have invited Dr Jan Rosenow, a renowned expert who can map the transition.
Dr Jan Rosenow is the Leader of the Energy Programme at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford and Jackson Senior Research Fellow at Oriel College, Oxford. He is also a Senior Associate at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cambridge and a Senior Advisor at the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), where he provides strategic guidance on energy policy and regulation. A leading expert in energy policy, efficiency, and electrification, he advises governments and organisations, including the World Economic Forum, the United Nations and the International Energy Agency. His work has shaped key energy and climate policies and featured in The New York Times, Forbes, and the BBC.
