On April 11, XEnergy successfully organized the second cycle of one-day trainings on contracting the purchase and sale of green electricity, i.e. PPAs. The extremely successful first training, which took place in February, showed that there are still many doubts, which were clarified to the participants this time by XEnergy experts Minea Skok, Tina Jakaša, Martina Vajdić and Saša Jovičić, as well as our guests from Professio Energia Marko Karan and Miroslav Nikolić.

We are thrilled to introduce the esteemed members of our newly formed International Advisory Board at XEnergy. Comprised of diverse experts, this board represents a convergence of women and men dedicated to advancing our mission of empowering women in the energy transition.

Our Assembly member Nađa Dizdarević recently visited Brussels, where she took part in a series of events dedicated to energy transition and sustainability as a Young Energy Ambassador and representative of XEnergy.

Our first internship program, organized in collaboration with our corporate partner, E.ON Croatia, has successfully concluded. Six female graduate students from technical and social sciences had the opportunity to experience real challenges in the dynamic energy industry over one month, guided by experienced mentors and working on concrete projects: from employee engagement, developing solar potential in Croatia, and market strategies for certain parts of E.ON’s business, to exploring green transition opportunities and helping shape solutions for waste management in the photovoltaic industry.

The member of our Assembly, Nađa Dizdarević, was elected Young Energy Ambassador for 2025. Among more than 1300 applications from all over the world, 30 young ambassadors were selected, and Nađa had the honor of being one of them – as the only candidate from Croatia! The selection was carried out by the Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment (CINEA), the body of the European Commission responsible for the implementation of key EU programs in the field of sustainability and climate transition.

We are very pleased that our member Ani Trstenjak, in addition to 11 other distinguished representatives of non-profit organizations, business and politics, was chosen as the ambassador of the European Climate Pact in Croatia, thus joining a network of more than 800 ambassadors across the EU.

This was yet another outstanding and particularly engaging event! Despite last night’s Croatian national football team match, a large number of our members, friends, and partners joined us. It’s no surprise, considering the topic was Pantheon AI, one of the largest and most talked-about projects, and our guests were the leading experts behind it, ready to answer every question: Mario Gudelj, Project Manager, and Bruno Štambak, Executive Director at Dalekovod Group.
