The 25th WPC Energy Congress brings the energy industry to Riyadh. On October 14, Martina Dinardo shows which generation and storage technologies are improving fastest, measured in patent data years before the market moves.
Every energy company is weighing the same bets: which storage chemistry, which generation route and which grid technology deserve the next decade of capital. Expert panels argue it out. Martina brings a measurement instead.
Martina Dinardo presents Powering tomorrow: The future of energy generation and storage in Forum 23, The Energy Transition: The Role of Digitalisation, AI, and Cybersecurity, part of the WPC technical programme on Energy Technologies – Future Pathways. She shares the forum with speakers from Saudi Aramco and North Oil Company.
Every technology improves at its own steady rate. Filing counts, funding rounds and headlines tell you what is popular. The improvement rate tells you what will win. GetFocus reads that rate from the citation structure of patents, with a method co-developed with MIT, and has never found an exception: the fastest-improving technology always wins.


Name an energy technology field. We'll run the same forecast on a call.
