The most energetic festival of your future is back!

On the 18th of June 2026, the Northern Netherlands will once again be buzzing during the New Energy Forum: the most exciting festival about energy transition, mobility, and sustainability.

Professionals, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, researchers and policy makers will come together at New Energy Forum to break existing patterns and take new steps together in the transition to a sustainable future. This is not a traditional conference, but an energetic day full of inspiration, connections and action.

We hope to see you again at the sixth edition of New Energy Forum. And believe us, you won't want to miss it!

Sign up!

<"To solve this energy crisis, we really need to dare to go much further than a campaign to turn down the thermostat."

– Aniek Moonen is Chair of the Youth Climate Movement

What do you do to accelerate the transition?
 The energy transition requires not only new technology, but also a new mindset. This year, it's all about you. About making choices. About thinking and acting differently. Because real change starts with the question: What do you do?

During New Energy Forum, we connect people who make a difference. We bring together action-takers, thinkers and daredevils to strengthen each other and help each other move forward. We will amaze you with new perspectives, unexpected insights and inspiring examples that show that things can be done differently. And we accelerate by not just talking, but by taking concrete steps together towards tomorrow.  

 So: what will you do differently after 18 June 2026? 

Why you can't miss New Energy Forum 2026  

Anna Gimbrère explains why this is the place where ideas come together and action begins. Let's break some barriers together!

<"I ask myself with every big and small decision in my life: does this fit within a sustainable world? Would my great-grandchild also be happy with this? If the answer is no, then I try to change"

– Harm Edens is moderator at the New Energy Forum
