ARC’s European Industry Forum (EIF) is part of our successful series of worldwide conferences in Europe, America and Asia. The next European Forum will be held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain on May 4-6, 2026, with a focus on “Achieving Resilient Operations through AI, Digitalization, and Sustainability”. Participants are invited to attend exclusive presentations and workshops on strategies and case studies from the digital front lines.
ARC industry analysts and experts from the end user and supplier communities will analyze and discuss trends and drivers covering currently relevant industry topics.
The Future of Industrial Sustainability
Sustainability will for sure play a part in many different discussion during the Forum, but will be the main topic in our dedicated session on: "The Future of Industrial Sustainability: Energy Efficiency, Electrification & Hydrogen"

Energy Efficiency, Electrification & Hydrogen
The energy transition is becoming a central pillar of industrial sustainability, driven by decarbonization targets, rising energy costs, and the need for more resilient operations. This session explores how industrial companies are translating sustainability ambitions into practical strategies and measurable results. Through real-world case examples, the session will highlight how energy efficiency improvements, progressive electrification of processes, and the emerging role of hydrogen are reshaping industrial operations across sectors.
A key focus will be the enabling role of digital technologies, including edge computing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing energy use, managing increasingly complex energy systems, and supporting smarter decision-making. Participants will gain insight into how advanced analytics, AI-driven optimization, and edge solutions allow companies to accelerate the energy transition while maintaining reliability, safety, and competitiveness. The session offers a forward-looking yet pragmatic view of how technology and energy strategies together are enabling a more sustainable industrial future.
