DESCRIPTION:The 6th workshop will be focused on the Estonia’s DC future a
 nd how local developments connect to wider European efforts. Special atten
 tion will be given to the transfer of research results into industrial app
 lications as well as the role of pilot projects\, such as TalTech Resident
 ial DC Innovation Hub\, in accelerating uptake. The workshop will highligh
 t how companies\, researchers\, and policymakers can jointly shape the ene
 rgy transition by\nbuilding DC competences that strengthen both national r
 esilience and global competitiveness.\nThis event is organized by the i3DC
  initiative\, a non-profit venture of TalTech aimed at increasing awarenes
 s\, pushing forward innovation and accelerating the industrial uptake of t
 he residential DC microgrids. It is co-funded by the European Union throug
