Connected Power Systems Evolution: Sovereignty, Security, Affordability

The CRU Wire & Cable Connections Summit returns in 2027 will bring together the world’s most influential wire and cable decision makers. In 21 years history the conference has established itself as the industry’s leading global gathering, where C-level executives meet raw materials suppliers, discuss new products, and explore technological developments.

As energy transition gathers pace, driven by industrial automation and residential digitalisation, the focus is now shifting to infrastructure evolution, capable to generate, store, distribute an increasing quantity of power while monitoring energy flows and grid integrity.

Sweden is at the forefront of energy transition: join us in Helsingborg on June 15th-17th and be a part of the conversation.

Join us in Helsingborg from June 15 - 17 June and be a part of the conversation.

REGISTER NOW!

This summit brings together leading industry executives, technical experts, and key stakeholders to discuss the evolution of power generation, grid expansion, energy security and digitalisation required for the large increase in power demand for the electrification of industrial processes, hyperscale data centers and sustainable transportation.

Delegates have the opportunity to participate in an exclusive visit of Nexans’ Stella Nova plant, offering a unique insight into the state-of-the-art and sustainable production of superconducting systems and cryogenic technologies. - We have reached full capacity for the site visit.

Register today to engage in thought-provoking discussions, gain critical market intelligence and strengthen industry connections to meet the future requirements of wire and cable manufacturing and uses.
