Energy crisis and businesses: the first A3i Morning coffee takes place on Thursday 21 May

Morning coffee A3i - 21 maggio 2026

A3i is launching a new online format dedicated to the issues that are reshaping sustainability, efficiency and business competitiveness.

On Thursday 21 May, from 9.00 to 9.20 am, the first A3i Morning coffee will take place: a new online event promoted by the business network created by Amapola and 3i Efficientamento Energetico.

The format is straightforward: 20 minutes, live on LinkedIn, to start the day with an agile conversation between experts on the issues that are increasingly influencing business decisions. Not a traditional webinar, but a short, focused space to make sense of scenarios, risks and practical tools.

Geopolitical energy and margins: what businesses need to do now

The first session will focus on the energy crisis and its impact on business competitiveness. Geopolitical tensions, market instability and cost pressure are putting energy back at the centre of industrial strategies.

For companies, this is no longer only about the price of energy. It is about operational continuity, planning capacity, margin protection and the ability to compete in a context where volatility has become a structural factor.

Bringing sustainability and operational efficiency together

The conversation will feature Giulia Devani, President of A3i and Head of Reporting at Amapola, and Gianluca Gualco, Partner at 3i Efficientamento Energetico and Energy Manager.

The discussion will bring together two complementary perspectives: sustainability as a strategic and reporting lever, and energy efficiency as an operational, measurable area directly linked to business costs.

This is exactly what A3i was created for: to combine ESG and energy expertise and help companies turn sustainability into concrete, consistent and actionable choices.

What tools are available to companies today?

During the Morning coffee, the speakers will discuss energy efficiency, renewable self-generation, storage systems, PPAs, price risk hedging tools and Energy Release 2.0. The aim is not to point to a one-size-fits-all solution, but to understand how companies can build the right mix based on consumption patterns, production profile, investment capacity and strategic horizon.

Why attend

The A3i Morning coffee is designed to give companies a concise, up-to-date and accessible view of the issues currently reshaping the market. The starting question for this first session is very concrete: how can businesses respond to renewed pressure on energy costs without simply chasing the emergency?

The event will take place on Thursday 21 May, from 9.00 to 9.20 am, live on LinkedIn.
