Quantum Optima was pleased to be among the speakers at Panathēnea 2026, with Nikos Douros, CEO & Co-Founder, presenting the company’s vision during Agora 2.0 – The Climate Tech Debate.
The session took place at the Maria Callas Museum and brought together entrepreneurs, investors, technology companies, and climate-tech stakeholders to discuss the future of climate technology and its role in Europe’s economic and industrial transformation.
Agora 2.0 focused on a central and timely question:
Is climate tech losing momentum, or is it evolving into critical economic and industrial infrastructure?
For Quantum Optima, the answer is clear: climate tech is entering a new phase. The next stage will not be defined only by the deployment of renewable energy assets, batteries, and grid infrastructure, but also by the intelligent systems required to optimise them.
As Europe’s energy system becomes more complex, the need for advanced decision-support technologies is growing rapidly. Battery energy storage systems, renewable energy producers, aggregators, and energy market participants must operate across multiple markets, uncertain price signals, grid constraints, and increasing volatility.
Quantum Optima is developing an optimisation platform designed to support this transition.
The company’s approach combines classical optimisation, artificial intelligence, and quantum-inspired methods to improve decision-making for battery storage and energy market participation. The objective is to help asset owners and operators capture value across day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and ancillary services markets, while managing risk and operational constraints.
During his presentation at Agora 2.0, Nikos Douros highlighted that climate technology is increasingly becoming part of Europe’s critical infrastructure. In this context, optimisation is not a secondary layer. It is a core capability for making the energy transition economically viable, resilient, and scalable.
Being among the speakers at Panathēnea 2026 provided Quantum Optima with the opportunity to present its work within a broader discussion on European competitiveness, energy sovereignty, and the future of climate infrastructure.
Quantum Optima would like to thank the organisers of Panathēnea and Agora 2.0, as well as all speakers and participants, for a high-quality and timely discussion.
