Energy Now

Our Ambassadors

Wiebe Draijer

Chairman of the Rabobank Executive Board

"The use of sustainable and renewable energy is one of the major transitions we face globally. Energy Now brings together bright students, developers and more seasoned entrepreneurs, providing an additional node to a community set to accelerate the energy transition."

Susanne Nies

Managing Director Strategy and Communication ENTSO-E

"The energy transition is done by people that care, share and try. Energy Now is exactly about this: motivated and excellent students that care about climate, contribute to knowledge sharing of an increasingly literate energy community across Europe. And it is trying a new way of interactions between students and the ones in the job!"

David Smeulders

Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology

"The energy transition should reduce CO2 emissions in the context of global awareness, European context and a national agenda that is scientifically sound, affordable and ideologicallly unbiased."

Gertjan Lankhorst

General Director New Energy Coalition

"In order to realise a successful transition we need a new generation of students and scientists who understand the interdisciplinary nature of the climate problem. "Energy Now!" brings together these ambitious students and provides an excellent forum to explore the challenges."

Gineke van Dijk

Senior Manager at TenneT

"There are many ways that contribute to the energy transition, there is no one silver bullet. That is why it is important to discuss possibilities with a broad audience and from various perspectives: technical, economical innovative aspects, at a local, national or international level, incumbents and startups, and by young professionals and senior experts or managers. This is what Energy Now brings all together in their Platform."

Jan Rotmans

Professor Dutch Research Institute for Transitions

"The global energy transition has reached a tipping point phase, that is characterized by chaos, turbulence and conflicts. A new, renewable energy system is emerging, whereas the old, fossil energy system is struggling if still largely in place. In this tipping point phase, small groups of people, in particular young people, can have a large impact on this vulnerable, volatile energy system, if they come up with smart and appropriate interventions. This is the hope I would like to convey to young people: if there is any time you can make a difference, it is now!"

Stientje van Veldhoven

State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, most sustainable member of Lower Chamber in 2014 & greenest politician in 2011 and 2012

"We definitely need all creativity in society in the energy transition,. Hereby, being able to think ‘out-of-the-box’ is very crucial. That’s exactly what makes this congress such an important event. Be there and think along!"

Arash Aazami

Founder Kamangir

"Given the fact that we need to reduce our fossil fuel consumption by a factor of one million it is pointless to invest in the incremental improvements of the current energy system. The only viable direction in which we can invest our efforts and means is the establishment of an entirely new energy economy based on 100% abundantly available renewables. Energy Now is such an event that provides a much needed podium for these system-level innovations."
