IEU Kommunikation AG takes over energy platform EPN
IEU Kommunikation AG is not only celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but is also setting the course for the future of energy communication with the acquisition of the European Power Network (EPN).
The agency from Liestal and Zurich is thus further expanding its position in the energy sector and contributing its own expertise to the Europe-wide network of experts.
The EPN has been an established platform for exchange and networking in the energy sector for over two decades. Monthly conferences with top-class speakers ensure practical knowledge transfer among experts. The focus is increasingly on forward-looking topics such as renewable energies, flexibility management through battery storage and digitalization in the Swiss and European electricity market.
Even after the takeover, Klaus E. Schewe, the founder of EPN, will remain in the network as an advisor. The managing partners of the IEU, Fabian Cortesi and Hans Jörg Luchsinger, will manage the platform and emphasize the importance of joint solutions for the energy sector. "We see it as our role to build bridges between research, business and society," says Cortesi. The IEU sees itself as a service provider in strategic communication management and promotes the personal exchange of important future topics with new formats.
With nine employees, the owner-managed agency specializes in the areas of energy, construction, real estate, sustainability and innovation. The acquisition of the energy platform EPN is intended to drive the agency's growth and provide further impetus for the transformation of the energy industry.
