ICI Bucharest participated in the ZF Energie 2025 Conference, an event organised by Ziarul Financiar, held today, November 28, 2025, in Bucharest. The theme of this year's edition was "How do we transform a year of record investments in green energy into an engine of continuous growth?", in a context in which Romania is once again registering an accelerated pace of commissioning and strategic investments in the sector.
ICI Bucharest representatives emphasised the importance of using artificial intelligence, high-performance computing infrastructures, and cybersecurity solutions for the efficient integration of renewables, the development of storage capacities, the optimisation of networks, and the increase in the resilience of critical energy systems. During the debates, they contributed with applied research perspectives and examples of technologies capable of transforming current investments into sustainable economic benefits and visible impact for consumers.
The ZF Energie Conference, the event that annually concludes the ZF series of energy conferences, aimed to evaluate the 2025 balance sheet and outline directions for 2026–2030, including in the areas of infrastructure, storage, electrification, and industrial competitiveness.
Developing and testing artificial intelligence solutions requires computing resources and technical expertise that not all companies have at their disposal. The services offered by the European BSC AI Factory project to address these needs were presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at GoTech World 2026, held on 10–11 November at Romexpo.
How can virtual and augmented reality technologies help people prepare for emergencies, improve interactions with public services, or create new ways of learning? These were among the applications presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at the “1st Regional Workshop to Strengthen the Central, Eastern European and Balkan Virtual Worlds Ecosystem”, held in Budapest, Hungary.
How can Europe prepare for the security challenges of the coming years, amid geopolitical instability, hybrid threats, and the rapid development of new technologies? These questions were at the heart of the conference “Towards Europe 2040: How Can We Anticipate Change and Build a Secure and Resilient Future?”, held in Bucharest on 9 November 2026 at the European Parliament Liaison Office in Romania.
