Kraków Tech Summit Conference – Green Technology
On November 6, 2024, the Kraków Tech Summit Conference was held at the ICE Congress Center in Kraków. This was an event dedicated to the development of the startup and innovation sector in Kraków, during which three thematic tracks were organized. One of them was the Green Technology track, organized by SPCleantech member, the Kraków Miastem Startupów Foundation and the Regional Institute for Education Development. Kraków Tech Summit 2024 is not just a conference – it is a place where ideas meet action, and new acquaintances can become the key to your success! This was a unique opportunity to establish contacts with people who believe in the power of innovation and sustainable development.
The conference started with a speech by Hanna Zdanowska, Mayor of Łódź.

Green Innovations on the Example of Łódź (Key Note Opening)
Key Note Speaker: Hanna Zdanowska
At 10.30 – 11.15, Janusz Kahl, President of SPCleantech moderated a panel entitled:
“The Impact of EU Directives on the Green Transformation of Buildings”
During the panel, we tried to consider the impact of the new legislative proposals of the European Commission. We looked at the impact of the updated EED, REDII, ETS2 directives, and especially the new EPBD “building” directive on the greening of construction through thermal modernization and renovation of single-family houses, multi-family buildings and public utility buildings, including historic ones. During the panel, using the knowledge and experience of the panelists, we tried ti find out to what extent the owners of single-family houses, managers of multi-family buildings and municipalities are prepared for the changes that await us all in light of the proposed legislative changes related to the implementation of these directives in EU member states.
