As industries like energy, utilities and critical communications accelerate towards smarter, more connected infrastructure, the need for secure, resilient and future-ready networks has never been greater.
Earlier this month, we welcomed industry professionals to our hub in Solihull for Siemens & TXO Present: Transition to Smart Grid — a day dedicated to industrial connectivity, cybersecurity and the evolving demands of digital infrastructure.
The event explored the technologies, strategies and operational challenges shaping the next generation of smart grid infrastructure, while highlighting how organisations can modernise networks securely, efficiently and sustainably. Take a look at our highlight reel below.
Attendees heard from specialists at Siemens and TXO on key industry priorities, including:
- Securing the smart grid
- Maximising network availability
- Boosting cyber resilience
- Gaining network visibility
We also explored how rapidly evolving cybersecurity regulations including NIS2, IEC 62443, the Cyber Resilience Act and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill are reshaping grid digitalisation and influencing long‑term transformation strategies across the sector.
Attendees had the chance to get hands‑on with the latest innovations from the Ruggedcom and SINEC portfolios, showcasing technologies designed to deliver secure, reliable and future‑ready industrial networking.
The day brought together a wide range of perspectives on building secure, flexible and resilient energy systems — addressing challenges such as supply chain assurance, technology lifecycle management and the importance of cross‑industry collaboration.
Beyond the presentations, the event created space for valuable networking, idea‑sharing and discussion around the growing demand for secure, compliant and adaptable digital infrastructure.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Solihull and contributed to the conversation. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and supporting organisations as they navigate the transition towards smarter, more resilient infrastructure.
