Arash Aazami

Arash Aazami is here for the big change: a world where every individual has the right to harvest, use and share nature’s ever-existing energy abundance. As founder of Unify.energy, global advocate for the Internet of Energy and chairman of UniversalRight, Arash inspires future-makers across the globe to rethink energy and the role they can play in the establishment of a new 100% renewables-based, inclusive and just energy reality for all. After careers in music and online tech he founded the first energy company that earns more as it sells less energy, and his Path to Zero business model was awarded by MIT in 2014. His keynotes merge deep understanding of energy-related trends, geopolitics and digital technologies with the human elements: mindset, social design, values and ethics.

Arash has worked with the International Energy Agency, Singularity University, IRENA, the European Commission and multiple governments as well as a wide array of enterprises in energy, telco, IT, and various industries, bringing the Internet of Energy onto their strategic agendas.

He has presented hundreds of keynotes and workshops for Singularity University, TEDx, European Commission, IEA, Blockchain Summit, IFMA, Young Presidents Organization, SXSW, Tomorrowland, The Next Web and many others, and was invited by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2022 for a dialogue on energy and climate. He also developed and curated various tech and energy hackathons, as well as Europe’s largest sustainability conference in collaboration with Tomorrowland: Love Tomorrow Conference.

Arash wrote several publications and reports: From Volume to Value, Smart Multi Commodity Grid, Deltagrid 2050, and The Netherlands’ policy agenda for energy and digitalization ‘More than the Sum of all Parts’. His keynotes are widely acclaimed as insightful, inspiring, hope-giving and paradigm-shifting.
