As electrification accelerates and global energy systems face growing pressure from climate change and geopolitical instability, resilient and flexible electricity grids have become central to the energy transition.
Swiss-Japan Energy Days 2026 will focus on the future of electricity grid resilience and demand management, exploring how Switzerland and Japan are addressing increasingly complex energy challenges through research, technology, and cross-sector collaboration.
Organized simultaneously in Japan and Switzerland, the event serves as a platform for international collaboration in energy research, innovation, and policy.

Applications are now open for the Q3 2026 Startup Camp, powered by Innosuisse and managed by Swissnex in Japan. This program supports two cohorts: energy startups, and all industries startups, looking to validate their market potential and establish a foothold in one of the world’s most advanced and innovative economies.
The second edition of the Swiss-Japan Energy Days took place at Swissnex in Japan on September 25 and 26, during Expo 2025 Osaka. Against the backdrop of the world’s Expo theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” the conference convened leading experts, researchers, policymakers, and startups from Switzerland and Japan to address the urgent global energy and climate challenges of our time.
The Swiss-Japan Energy Days 2024, a groundbreaking event, was held on September 10 and 11 across two venues—ETH Zürich and Swissnex in Japan. The conference brought together top-tier academic, policy, and industry experts, as well as breakthrough startups from Switzerland and Japan to tackle the pressing challenges of the global energy and climate crisis.
