Pre-Conference Networking Event
We invite you to join us for an intimate evening at Flora Danica, a refined Nordic brasserie tucked away in a hidden patio just off the iconic Champs-Élysées. Set on an elegant outdoor terrace, this secluded space offers a rare sense of calm and exclusivity in the heart of Paris. With its warm atmosphere, Scandinavian-inspired cuisine, and relaxed sophistication, Flora Danica provides the perfect setting to unwind, connect, and enjoy meaningful conversations ahead of the conference.

Registration & welcome coffee
Session 1
Europe’s agrivoltaics market is set to double by 2026. This session delivers a fast, data-driven snapshot of where capital, policy, and project pipelines are moving, so investors and developers know where to position now, as the market matures.
The numbers are in. This session cuts digs directly into the agronomic data to explore what Europe’s operational agrivoltaic projects are actually delivering on farms today, in terms of crop performance and climate adaptation.
Agri-PV development looks very different across Europe, and the gap between a project that closes and one that stalls is rarely the technology. This panel puts developers who have navigated real permitting battles, agronomic audits, and financing processes in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain in the same room, and asks them to be honest about what actually kills projects early, and what makes the survivors bankable.

Session 2
This session offers a candid investor perspective on how developers can structure agri-PV projects that meet financing criteria from day one, reducing risk, accelerating permitting, and unlocking capital at scale.

The deals are closing. This panel goes behind the scenes of the most significant agri-PV financing transactions of the past three years, including the €144M EIB and Erste Bank structure behind PÜSPÖK's 257 MWp Austrian portfolio, to update attendees on how lenders are assessing Agri-PV risk today and what makes a project geniunely bankable in 2026.

Session 3
This session explores how technology evolution, smarter system design, and operational optimisation are reducing CAPEX and OPEX., bringing agri-PV closer to mainstream utility-scale economics.
Engineering, procurement, and O&M choices that materially improve project economics
Elevated structures, adaptive shading, semi-transparent modules, and design standardisation
Where CAPEX and OPEX are falling, and where they are not
Elina Bosch
Becquerel Institute
System design is where agri-PV projects are won or lost before a single panel goes in the ground. This session combines a live demonstration of the tools developers actually use with a panel debate on the design trade-offs that determine whether a project maximises both yields, or quietly optimises for one at the expense of the other. Bring your laptop, and your questions!

France’s agricultural-first regulations make agrivoltaics one of the most scrutinized models in Europe. This case study shows how it performs in reality.
Afternoon networking break
Session 4
This session explores how agrivoltaics,when embedded in the right policy, governance, and economic frameworks, can drive rural resilience, local value creation, and long-term territorial development.
Rural value creation and enabling conditions
From projects to systems
Spain is emerging as a high-potential agrivoltaic market-this case study shows what utility-scale agri-PV looks like in practice under real climate, grid, and agricultural conditions.
If you want your agri-PV projects to get built, and stay accepted, this session shows what actually convinces farmers and local communities to say yes. Hear directly from a farmer operating under agrivoltaics about the practical, contractual, and social factors that determine trust, long-term cooperation, and project success.
What farmers actually care about
How poorly designed projects damage trust and trigger local opposition
Co-ownership, income diversification, and long-term benefits for farming communities
