Crossing Boundaries. Developing Solutions.
The Berlin Seminar on Clean Energy Policy is part of a long-standing sub-national dialogue hosted by IonE since 2011 in cooperation with Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
During this annual, week-long seminar, a delegation of some 20 Minnesota-based participants visit Germany to interact with leaders in Germany’s energy transformation. The seminar, briefings and site visits in Germany are then the basis for follow-up events in Minnesota.
The seminar and associated activities promote a collaborative, nonpartisan approach to the renewable energy transition.
