SUMMARY:Meeting - Networking Cocktail: "Impulse to Clean Power for Transport"
DESCRIPTION:This networking cocktail is a side event of the Connecting Europe Days\, Europe’s mobility flagship event\, on 2-5 April in Brussels\, Belgium\, that will bring together politicians\, financial institutions\, industry representatives\, transport stakeholders and the European Commission to discuss concrete measures and exchange good practices on creating a fully decarbonised\, resilient\, seamless and digital transport and mobility network in Europe. It will take stock of the ambitious goals set out in the EU Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy. \nFollowing the adoption of the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation (AFIR) in 2023\, more user-friendly recharging and refuelling stations for alternative fuels will be deployed in the coming years across Europe enabling the transport sector to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. While the way to go and strategy for deployment is clear in a number of countries\, already reflected in substantial market progress\, there are still a number of challenges to tackle in order to meet the targets as set by AFIR Europe-wide and even go beyond those ambitions where the needs are higher. We need to prevent infrastructure bottlenecks to be a determining factor in our pathway to success towards greening transport\, while increasing efficiency\, shifting flows to more environmentally friendly modes and avoiding trips all together. All these pieces of the puzzle need to fall into place to reach a successful multimodal and sustainable mobility ecosystem! \n\n\n\nThe Flemish Government\, as part of the Belgian EU Presidency\, organizes this event to give a powerful impulse to clean power for transport and activate the network at the start of the Connecting Europe Days. The minister of Mobility and Public Works will open the session with an introduction on Flemish policies and outlooks on clean power for transport. A lively panel debate on the subject including international speakers will be followed by a cocktail reception and walking diner to get an informal discussion going between the participants. To end the night\, the Flemish Government offers a nocturnal guided tour of the venue\, the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR)\, with an exhibition celebrating 100 years of surrealism\, Belgium’s famous avant-garde movement that goes beyond the purely aesthetic and wants to transform the world with their subversive art\, also through international interactions. This might be just what greening transport needs!\n\n\nVenue: Brussels Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) – Ballroom “Rotonde Bertouille” – entrance via Rue Baron Horta – limited to 120 guests \nIndicative programme\n\n17h00-18h00: Arrival\n18h00-18h10: Welcome Speech minister of Mobility and Public Works (Flemish government)\n18h10-19h15: Moderated Panel Debate\n19h15-21h30: Network Cocktail and Walking Dinner\n20h15: Possibility to start Nocturnal Guided Tour (optional\, 1h\, in groups of 10-15\, languages Dutch/French/English)\n23h00: End\n\nSign up for this event here
