Regulations must keep up with the increasing speed of innovation in the transition to decentralised renewable energy, agreed experts from business, politics and academia at a fully-powered fourth edition of the Erasmus Energy Forum. At the WTC Rotterdam, speakers highlighted the need for governments and industries to make way for innovation – and for a multi-faceted approach from all stakeholders.

This year the annual Erasmus Energy Forum collaborated with the Port of Rotterdam to focus on the transition to decentralised sustainable energy in ports and cities, an area of research that’s a specialty of the Erasmus Centre for Future Energy Business (ECFEB) at RSM.
