On 25-26 March 2026, REFEST participated in the EnergyON Summit in Poznań, one of Central and Eastern Europe’s leading events dedicated to energy transition and industrial decarbonisation. The project was represented in a networking capacity by Marcin Rakowski (Morski Instytut Rybacki – MIR), who engaged with stakeholders from industry, academia, and public institutions.
During the summit, participants explored emerging trends in securing and storing power reserves, with particular attention to innovative technologies for energy generation and storage.
REFEST representatives gathered valuable insights through discussions with manufacturers and distributors of power generation and energy storage equipment, as well as through participation in conference presentations and informal exchanges with experts from academia and government.
These networking activities provided an opportunity to better understand current technological developments and practical solutions relevant to port environments. The knowledge collected during the event will contribute to improving the understanding of modernization pathways and strengthening the availability and resilience of energy sources in ports, key aspects aligned with REFEST’s objectives.
The EnergyON Summit also offered an important platform to establish new connections and strengthen collaboration opportunities, reinforcing REFEST’s commitment to engaging with key stakeholders supporting the energy transition in maritime and port infrastructures
