Fidectus Summit 2025: Two Days of Innovation, Insights & Industry Connection

In early June, Zurich’s iconic FIFA World Football Museum played host to the annual Fidectus Summit, where over 40 energy trading professionals, digital transformation leaders, and operational experts from across Europe came together to connect, collaborate, and share insights.

Over two impactful days, the Summit explored how modern energy trading companies are embracing automation, efficiency, and innovation to meet the challenges of an evolving market.

Highlights from the Summit

Held on June 5–6, 2025, the event featured expert-led talks, hands-on discussions, and valuable conversations focused on the future of post-trade and digital transformation in the energy sector.

We kicked things off with opening remarks from our CEO, Dr. Jens Bartenschlager, followed by a deep dive into evolving regulations and market standards, including sessions on VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) and Switzerland’s upcoming BATE Law. Speakers from Energy Traders Europe, ElCom, and leading energy firms shared updates on regional adoption, transparency, and compliance challenges.

The afternoon focused on solutions driving post-trade efficiency, including how Fidectus and enmacc are automating REMIT reporting and confirmations, and how Alpiq is transforming back-office operations. Rabobank closed the day with a forward-looking session on digitised working capital solutions, showcasing the potential of integrating Fidectus’ GEN platform.

This was followed the next day by an interactive workshop led by the Fidectus team on accelerating eCM and eSM adoption, then a dynamic roundtable on the role of Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) in supporting sustainable energy markets — with contributions from Nvalue, CerQlar, and enmacc.

From expert insights to real-world case studies, here are five themes that stood out across the two days:

1. Post-trade automation is no longer optional
From REMIT reporting to confirmations and deal data matching, automation is becoming critical for efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across trading operations.

2. Regulatory change is accelerating
Sessions on ViDA and Switzerland’s BATE Law showed how regulation is evolving fast - and why market participants need to stay proactive and prepared.

3. Digital collaboration is gaining momentum
Integration stories (like Fidectus & enmacc) and partner case studies (Uniper, Trianel) reinforced the importance of connected systems and open platforms in enabling seamless workflows.

4. Sustainability and transparency are reshaping market expectations
The discussion around GoOs made it clear: digitalisation is key to tracking, validating, and scaling green energy certificates.

5. Capital efficiency is rising on the post-trade agenda
Rabobank’s insights into working capital digitisation sparked conversations about how post-trade platforms can go beyond compliance to unlock financial value.
