The University of Tomorrow's Energy, a meeting place to achieve a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040 for France

On February 12, 2026, Impact France inaugurates its first University of Tomorrow's Energy, a unique event that will bring together several hundred economic, political, and institutional leaders in Paris to discuss a key issue: collectively ending our dependence on fossil fuels and successfully transitioning France to renewable energy.

In a context marked by climate emergency, geopolitical tensions, and massive investment needs, the energy issue is no longer sector-specific. It is economic, industrial, social, and democratic. It is precisely to respond to this complexity that Impact France is creating this new major event.

An event to break down silos and build a shared vision

The energy transition still too often suffers from fragmented approaches. Producers, manufacturers, regions, financiers, public decision-makers: everyone is moving forward, sometimes quickly, but rarely together.

The University of Tomorrow's Energy was born out of a strong conviction: there can be no credible energy trajectory without collective alignment. Alignment of objectives, public policies, investments, and corporate strategies.

This event is a continuation of the Cercle Énergie d'Impact France, launched in 2025, which already brings together more than 200 players from across the energy value chain, from start-ups to large groups, throughout the country.

A clear objective: raising awareness to accelerate action

Achieving a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040 and carbon neutrality by 2050 requires:

• stable energy policies to secure investment,
• energy sovereignty, an essential condition for French competitiveness,
• a profound transformation in demand and our habits,
• fair and transparent ownership of the transition by all.

The University of Tomorrow's Energy aims to develop a shared vision of the national energy trajectory, capable of guiding both public action and private decisions to break our dependence on fossil fuels. 

An unprecedented coalition of committed stakeholders

Co-sponsored by numerous major professional organizations—France Renouvelables, Union Française de l’Électricité, France Hydrogène, Start Industrie, CleanTech for France, Transport & Environnement, Charge France, and many others—the University of Tomorrow's Energy embodies an unprecedented alignment of the economic world.

This coalition demonstrates a shared desire: to move forward together, overcome sectoral divisions, and speak with a strong, ambitious, and audible voice to decision-makers.

A program designed to help you decide and take action

Over the course of half a day, the event will offer:

• major debates to compare visions, scenarios, and strategic choices;
• operational masterclasses to transform ambitions into concrete levers;
• small-scale meetings (lunches, coffee breaks, networking events) to promote direct, decision-oriented dialogue between business leaders and public officials.

The University of Tomorrow's Energy aims to be both a space for strategic reflection and a catalyst for concrete action.
Because where there is a common goal, there is a way.

See you on February 12, 2026, in Paris for the first University of Tomorrow's Energy.
