As we prepare for the 2025 EUEW Business Convention in Helsinki, themed "70 Years of EUEW – Connected with the Future", it’s an ideal moment to focus on how we, as a sector, can navigate this changing environment with confidence and purpose.

Here are some of the ways we can strengthen our sector:

Foster Collaboration

The challenges we face—whether related to supply chains, regulations, or digital transformation—are too complex to solve alone. Working together across companies, borders, and disciplines enables us to find smarter, more effective solutions.

Share Knowledge and Best Practices

Open dialogue about what works and what doesn’t helps everyone improve. Sharing lessons learned and practical insights allows us to respond to new developments more quickly and with greater resilience.

Prepare for Change

Digitalisation, sustainability, and energy transition aren’t future concerns—they’re already shaping the way we work. Anticipating their impact and making informed decisions today ensures we remain competitive tomorrow.

Stay Agile and Forward-Thinking

The ability to adjust quickly to new regulations, technologies, and customer expectations is a key advantage. Scenario planning and long-term thinking will help us stay one step ahead.

The Convention in Helsinki will offer a platform to exchange ideas, explore new initiatives, and build stronger networks. It’s a chance to reflect on the future of our sector—not with concern, but with clarity and shared ambition.

Let’s use this moment to build momentum, align our visions, and take collective steps toward a future that’s not only sustainable, but also innovative and thriving.

Let’s shape the future of EUEW — together.
