by 2050, major industries are actively looking for solutions to decarbonise. COVID-19 has accelerated the global shift to renewables, with recovery programmes facilitating huge investments into future-proof technologies. This does not only increase the need for onshore and offshore wind energy development, but it also creates totally new business models and calls for innovative solutions. Electric City 2021 will showcase developments in the areas of electrification, energy storage, offshore hybrids, renewable hydrogen and many more. It connects traditional energy suppliers with new partners. This means new voices at the conference, debating the changes we need in policy, business models and technology to deliver the energy transition to renewable energies. And it also brings a range of new companies onto the exhibition floor in Copenhagen. To create an appealing and diverse conference programme, event organiser WindEurope has partnered with numerous stakeholders and associations from the renewables sector and beyond. The European Association for Electromobility (AVERE), the European Association for Energy Storage (EASE), the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), HydrogenEurope or the International Association for Public Transport Operators (UITP) are just some of the partners that will help to make Electric City 2021 a truly leading event for sector coupling and renewables-based electrification. The packed conference programme offers insights from experts in technology and finance, leading voices from policy and academia, startups and students, and much more. In 2021, the Electric City event will go one step further. After the success of the digital WindTV format at WindEnergy Hamburg 2020, organiser WindEurope is looking into new hybrid formats to complement the
