We are living in a time of change which is both complex and unpredictable.

But the energy transition is still not optional; it is necessary. How we move forward requires fresh thinking and shared responsibility.

Technology is evolving fast, and digital tools are now central to how we design and manage energy systems. Innovation is key: artificial intelligence, data platforms, and remote monitoring solutions help make systems more efficient, flexible, and resilient. At the same time, we must remember that these technologies also consume energy and resources. It’s a balance that requires careful choices.

This edition of goZERO reflects a global perspective. It brings together stories and insights from very different geographies: from Brazil’s energy ministry to the state electricity company in Indonesia, and from nuclear innovation in Europe to lessons from the Mediterranean.

Each voice highlights a different way to approach the same challenge.

No participant can do it alone. The transition needs the involvement of institutions, companies, researchers, and local communities. It requires collaboration between regions with different resources, priorities, and timelines.

We must learn from each other - adapting technologies to local contexts, and sharing successful models across borders.

RINA is present in many parts of the world and across the energy value chain. This gives us a wide view: we observe what works, help adapt ideas to different settings, and connect actors who might not otherwise meet.​ We are part of a larger ecosystem, one that moves forward only if all its parts work together: Hydra project shows just how effective this approach can be.

We are also seeing new frontiers emerge: underwater infrastructure, floating solar units, energy use in space, and the growing role of data centers.

These are not just engineering challenges, but signs of how energy is becoming more interconnected and global.

The energy transition will not follow a single path. It will be shaped by local needs, tested solutions, and the global exchange of information.

This is the spirit of goZERO: a forum to listen, share, and build bridges between sectors, disciplines, and countries.
