One of the major challenges in the energy sector, alongside the clean transition, is resilience. At the event, we are showcasing cutting-edge innovations and solutions for the whole electrification journey from planning and realizing to optimization.
We are sharing insights on how to anticipate risks and safeguard operations during volatile times. What new approaches should the electricity sector adopt – and what actions should or could be taken?
Expert speakers on the main stage
We will bring top-tier speakers to the main stage to stir engaging discussions on the future of electrification, including security and cybersecurity. The presentations on stage are in English.
Simulation as the foundation for a controlled transition of the power system
Dr. Kalle Rauma, Power Systems Consultant, Siemens
Wed 15 April 2026 at 14:30 –15:00 | Power Stage
A rapidly evolving power system requires decisions based on solid data, not guesswork. So why is now the right time to invest in simulation? The energy transition, variable power demand, and increasingly distributed generation are making the grid more complex than traditional planning tools can handle. Simulations enable us to anticipate future scenarios, evaluate alternatives, and ensure resiliency as the system changes.
Dr. Kalle Rauma, Power Systems Consultant at Siemens, will guide you through this topic. He specializes in power system simulations, and solutions that strengthen grid reliability during the ongoing energy transition.
Digital twins for electrical solutions in the age of resilience and sustainability
Jussi Mäntynen, Head of Electrification and Automation Nordic and Baltic, Siemens
Wed 15 April 2026 at 15:00–15:30 | Power Stage
Growing reliability issues, supply shortage risks, and the rapid rise of renewables are increasing pressure on power grids. Digital twins, advanced automation, and interoperable grid technologies enable smarter planning, real‑time decisions, and more resilient operations. Together, these capabilities help utilities and industry accelerate the energy transition safely and flexibly.
The topic will be covered by Jussi Mäntynen, a senior energy systems leader with over 25 years at Siemens, specializing in electrification, protection and automation, and digital grid technologies. He has led major transformation programs and Smart Grid initiatives across multiple countries, focusing on resilient, future‑ready power systems that support the energy transition.
Energy systems as a frontline: cyber defence insights
Nathalie Gratzer, Head of Industry Cooperations, NATO CCDCOE
Thu 16 April 2026 at 14:00–14:30 | Power Stage
As energy systems become an operational frontline in cyber conflict, their defence can no longer be addressed by governments or private industry alone. This talk examines the critical role of private industry in cyber defence exercises, sharing insights from NATO CCDCOE on how large-scale cooperation, realistic training environments, and public–private integration strengthen the resilience of critical energy infrastructure.
Nathalie Gratzer is the Head of Industry Cooperation at the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) and a Strategy Researcher specializing in critical information infrastructure protection. At CCDCOE, she advances military public private partnerships to strengthen collective cyber capabilities. With a Master’s degree in Business Information Systems and as an officer in the Cyber Battalion 42 of the Swiss Armed Forces, she bridges policy, technology, and operational practice.
Shaping the future of power grids with advanced digital solutions
Magnus Törrönen, Vice President, Head of Siemens Grid Software Nordics, Siemens
Thu 16 April 2026 at 14:30–15:00 | Power Stage
Global megatrends are accelerating the need for smarter, more resilient, and sustainable energy infrastructure, particularly power grids. As electricity demand surges – driven especially by the rapid expansion of data centers and distributed energy resources – many grids are under increasing pressure. By combining IoT‑ready electrical infrastructure with advanced software and AI, we can unlock additional grid capacity without extensive physical expansion. This integrated, data‑driven approach increases visibility, reliability, and efficiency across the power system. It enables a more flexible and sustainable energy ecosystem that can meet the evolving needs of industries and societies worldwide.
This keynote session will be presented by Magnus Törrönen, Vice President, Head of Sales, Siemens Grid Software Northern Europe. He leads the go‑to‑market of Siemens Grid Software across Northern Europe and has over 25 years of experience in digitalization and software across multiple sectors, including energy and industrial sectors.
