Digitization and Innovation on the Ground

We are pleased to confirm Paul Mignot, Founder & CEO of Withthegrid, as a keynote speaker at the NMi Technical Symposium: Powering the Energy Transition – Measurement, Compliance & Cybersecurity, taking place this 23–24 September in Delft.

Paul brings a grounded, real-world perspective on how digital tools are redefining the operational reality of today’s energy systems. As the founder of Withthegrid, he has worked closely with grid operators and asset owners to address one of the energy transition’s most pressing questions: How do we monitor, control, and secure increasingly complex and distributed infrastructure—at scale?

A Grounded Perspective on Scaling Energy Systems

In his keynote, Paul will address key technical and regulatory challenges, including:

• How can we achieve real-time measurement, monitoring and control across hundreds of different asset types?
• How do we ensure every connection is cybersecure by design and compliant with evolving European grid codes?
• What is required to reliably scale from a few assets to controlling thousands, without sacrificing speed or security?

Paul’s talk will provide actionable strategies to bridge the gap between digital ambition and operational reality—perfect for professionals in engineering, innovation management, and regulatory strategy.

Join the Conversation

Paul’s session complements Peter Molengraaf’s keynote by shifting the focus from system-level strategy to practical, on-the-ground execution. As a leader who has worked directly with industry partners, Paul brings insights that are both relevant and actionable for those navigating the digitalization and compliance challenges of the energy transition.

Join us in Delft for the NMi Technical Symposium this September to hear Paul’s keynote and participate in shaping the future of energy measurement, compliance, and cybersecurity.
