INTERSOLAR EUROPE 2022: FOCUS ON INTELLIGENT DUAL USE OF AREAS

22.4.2022 10:39:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release

At the Intersolar Europe exhibition, established and new players in the energy sector exchange information about new developments and trends, experience innovations and exploit business potential. The focus of the world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry is, among other things, the dual use of areas in agriculture, on bodies of water and in buildings. Intersolar Europe will be held at Messe München from May 11 to 13.

Photovoltaic (PV) production is booming in Germany and throughout Europe: almost 26 gigawatts (GW) of PV installations were connected to the grid in the EU in 2021 – a record growth of 34%. As in the previous year, Germany was the largest PV market in the EU with an addition of 5.3 GW. The European inter-trade organization, SolarPower Europe, expects installed solar power capacity to double to more than 326 GW by 2025.

At Intersolar Europe 2022, companies will present innovations and products developed for the world of new energies. Some examples include Agri-photovoltaics and Floating PV. The efficient dual use of areas for agriculture and solar power generation is developing dynamically: in 2020, plants for the generation of more than 14 GW had already been installed worldwide, according to the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE). Floating PV is now considered the third pillar of the global solar market. An estimated 400 plants with a total capacity of more than 3 GW are already in operation in over 40 countries. At Intersolar Europe 2022, these rapid developments will be prominent, with a large number of exhibitors presenting innovative products and solutions from the Agri-PV and Floating PV sectors.

Building-integrated PV (BIPV) is another key topic at Intersolar Europe 2022. With a view to the German market, this is where the greatest potential can be found for reducing the CO₂footprint of buildings, using space efficiently and strengthening sustainable development.

Intersolar Europe forms part of The smarter E Europe. From May 11 to 13, 2022, it will present cross-industry and cross-sector solutions for the energy transition and security of supply in Europe at Messe München. 1,450 exhibitors will showcase products, solutions and business models across 132,000 square meters in twelve exhibition halls.

Topics such as Agri-PV, Floating PV and BIPV will also be addressed at the Intersolar Europe Conference on May 10 and 11, 2022 at the International Congress Center Munich (ICM). Participants will learn all about the markets, technologies and financing of PV projects. One area under the spotlight will be large-scale PV power plants and systems, especially with regard to Agri-PV and floating PV. On May 10 at 6 p.m., innovators and experts will be honored with the Intersolar AWARD at the ICM (Hall 1).

Forrester’s 2027 Budget Planning Guides: After A Year Of Caution, Business And Tech Leaders Are Ready To Invest Again15.7.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release

According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 Budget Planning Guides, business and technology leaders are approaching 2027 with renewed confidence as they increasingly accept volatility as a permanent feature of the business environment. After a year of more cautious spending, more than 80% of leaders expect their budgets to increase over the next 12 months, with as many as one-quarter anticipating growth of 10% or more. But planning in the age of AI demands more than bigger budgets: Increasing investment without modernizing operating models, strengthening data foundations, and improving AI readiness will only accelerate fragmented data, duplicated work, and technical debt. To realize AI’s full potential, leaders must rethink their strategies and prioritize investments in operational foundations, governance, and experimentation that drive tangible outcomes. This year, optimism is widespread across functions: 82% of technology decision-makers and 91% of marketers expect budget increases

Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release

It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefore shortening the timeline to Q-Day. This has led prominent experts to estimate today’s encryption may be broken as-soon-as the next three years. It’s against this backdrop that the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has included the Classic McEliece algorithm as part of its standard for Asymmetric Ciphers (ISO/IEC 18033-2). Organisations from ISO’s 177 member states can now upgrade to Classic McEliece using an international s

Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release

Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
