Munich, Germany (27 May, 2026) – RE+ Events and WIP Renewable Energies, organisers of EU PVSEC, today announced a new partnership to launch the RE+ Tech & Innovation Forum, a dedicated two-day programme taking place during RE+ 26, November 16–19, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Designed to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world deployment, the RE+ Tech & Innovation Forum will convene applied researchers, technology innovators, industry practitioners, investors, and market stakeholders in a curated environment focused on accelerating the commercialization of emerging clean energy technologies, particularly across solar PV and energy storage. The program will deliver technically rigorous, market-focused content that complements the broader RE+ 26 conference, while fostering collaboration across the innovation ecosystem. The event will highlight actionable insights, deployment strategies, operational learnings, and scalable pathways for bringing advanced technologies to market, covering key industry topics across solar and storage operations and maintenance (O&M), grid stability and resiliency, tandem solar technologies, artificial intelligence applications in clean energy, and long-duration energy storage (LDES).

The partnership between WIP Renewable Energies and RE+ Events highlights the knowledge sharing opportunities between the European and American PV and energy storage sectors. WIP Renewable Energies brings the rigorous scientific excellence of its EU PVSEC education programming together with the industry-leading conference and exhibition opportunities of RE+ to foster transatlantic dialogue focused on these critical energy sectors.

“We are excited to partner with WIP Renewable Energies to create a new platform dedicated to technical innovation and commercialization at North America’s largest and most comprehensive clean energy event,” said Stephen Miner, CEO and President of RE+ Events. “The RE+ Tech & Innovation Forum will provide a unique opportunity for global collaboration and knowledge exchange focused on the technologies shaping the future of energy.”

“Collaborating with RE+ Events on this new forum creates an opportunity to connect research expertise from both Europe and North America with the needs of the evolving clean energy market,” said Jannis Haack, Managing Director of WIP Renewable Energies. “The RE+ Tech & Innovation Forum will encourage exchange between science and industry while supporting the adoption and commercialization of innovative energy technologies.”

RE+ 26 brings the modern energy industry together to meet the power demands of the future. Evolving from Solar Power International (SPI), RE+ has become the largest and most comprehensive renewable energy event in North America, uniting an extensive alliance of leaders across solar, energy storage, hydrogen, microgrids, EV charging and infrastructure, and wind energy for extensive education, business development, and networking opportunities.

Additional details on the RE+ Tech & Innovation Forum, including programming and participation opportunities, will be announced in the coming weeks. Visit re-plus.com for more information and to register for the event.
