Superconductivity was in the spotlight during the CIRED conference held in Geneva on June 2025. A strong focus was set on how to accelerate the energy transition, particularly for this edition where the onus was on the challenges and opportunities in forecasting the amount of grid and transmission lines needed to support the electrification of economy and Renewable Energy Transmission. Superconducting technology was a perfect fit for such a theme, as it represents a game-changer in the future of energy networks thanks to its revolutionary character and the potential it represents to enhance the resilience of energy grids.
