Jan Ghysels joins Andersen European Energy Industry Group Meeting in Frankfurt
Our Partner Jan Ghysels recently took part in the Andersen European Energy Industry Group Meeting, hosted by Andersen in Germany in Frankfurt. The meeting brought together colleagues from across the Andersen network, as well as industry professionals and guest speakers active in key areas of the global energy sector.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the major developments currently shaping the energy industry in Europe and beyond. The sessions covered a broad range of topics, including geopolitical trends, nuclear energy, offshore wind, hydrogen and photovoltaics. These discussions highlighted both the complexity of the energy transition and the importance of cross-border collaboration in a sector that continues to evolve rapidly.
The meeting featured insights from several industry experts, including Michael Spahn from Herter & Co., Robert Willems and Luc Van Maldegem from Renubel, Wolfgang Röbig from GIGA.GREEN, Marcelino Oreja Arburúa from GreenYellow and Josh McMorrow from GenH2.
For Andersen in Belgium, Jan Ghysels’ participation was an opportunity to stay informed about current developments in the energy sector and to exchange knowledge with colleagues from the Andersen international network. As the energy sector faces increasing regulatory, technological and geopolitical challenges, sharing knowledge across markets is essential to providing clients with relevant and informed legal support.
