BECOME PV Workshop on the Future of Emerging Photovoltaics
We’re excited to announce that tickets are now available for the Second Edition of the BECOME PV Workshop on the Future of Emerging Photovoltaics!
This year’s workshop will bring together leading researchers, SMEs, industry experts, and policymakers to tackle the key challenges and opportunities in emerging PV. Together, we’ll explore the latest breakthroughs in scalability, stability, and commercialization, while fostering collaboration across the entire value chain.
💡 Panel Discussions and Roundtables will address key questions such as:
🔹 What are the opportunities for single junction thin-film PV?
🔹 How can we accelerate the creation of a full value chain?
🔹 How can we move from demonstration to market creation?
🔹 Is versatility in architectures and processing a benefit or a burden?
You’ll hear insights from organizations like TSE TROLLER, Oxford PV, Aiko Solar, Heliatek, AVANCIS, Perovskia, ASCA, Von Ardenne, Singulus, Dyenamo, Engie, TotalEnergies, SolarPower Europe, and more; all sharing their perspectives on innovation, collaboration, and scaling the next generation of solar technologies.
Join us on 2–3 December 2025 in Brussels to connect, discuss, and shape the future of solar energy.
👉 Tickets are now on sale! Two options are available:
Standard Ticket: Access to the full two-day workshop.
Standard Ticket + Social Dinner & Museum Visit: Includes full access to the workshop plus a group dinner and a guided visit to the Belgian Beer World museum on the evening of December 2 at The Brasserie – Brussels Stock Exchange.
We highly recommend booking the Social Dinner option: a unique opportunity to network and exchange ideas with fellow participants in an informal setting.
