On 7 October, the Etch Partnership Programme will host its first Industry Day at EnergyVille. The event is organised with the support of the members of Etch's industrial partnership programme and will bring together stakeholders from across the transmission ecosystem. It will focus on practical challenges, real‑world project experiences and industry‑driven innovation through collaborative formats and partner contributions.
Participants are also invited to the official opening of our new Simulation Lab, which will take place right after the Industry Day.
