EaaS Matchmaking Event

On Monday 26th of June, Agoria is offering an inspiring programme to managers looking for service oriented solutions to improve their energy and sustainability footprint. The seminar will provide participants with insights into how as-a-service models can support their sustainability and energy efficiency/transition goals. A matchmaking/exhibition space will be set up to enable interested parties to connect and exchange with suppliers of energy (efficiency) as-a-service solutions.

Over the past few years, European manufacturing sector has developed a wide range of as-a-service business models to deliver more value to the customer in the most resource efficient way by selling access and performance instead of ownership, in various sectors ranging from machinery to equipment for transport, energy (storage), heating, cooling, lighting, water treatment etc.
These access models are increasingly being recognised as an important sustainability lever. They incentivise suppliers to build highly efficient, durable, and long-lasting equipment and allow customers to access the most efficient equipment and decarbonize their process without the use of capital investments, whilst being unburdened from operation and servicing responsibilities.

To bring together both suppliers and customers, Agoria is organising this networking and matchmaking event on “as-a-service models for a green transition” on Monday 26 June at BluePoint in Brussels.
