Transforming Substations for the Future Grid


The webinar will be held on
Dec 10, 2025 at 11:00 AM (GMT+4)

Are you ready for the next big leap in energy management across the Middle East and Africa?


As the region races toward smarter, cleaner grids and massive investment in renewables, digital substations have become the backbone for operational excellence, reliability, and sustainability. Don’t just watch the future happen—become one of its key architects.


The MEA energy sector is at a historic crossroads. With governments targeting over 50% clean energy by 2030, and grid operators upgrading assets for both resilience and flexibility, traditional infrastructure is giving way to software-defined, intelligent platforms.

This transformation enables:

  • Real-time operational intelligence
  • Secure, bidirectional communications
  • Automated grid control and protection
  • Seamless integration of solar, wind, and distributed energy resources
  • Scalable compliance with the latest IEC 61850 and cybersecurity standards

Advantech recognizes that MEA's energy transition is unprecedented in scope and speed. We've invested in developing purpose-built solutions—from certified IEC 61850-3 Ethernet switches to software-defined protection platforms—that enable utilities, system integrators, and OEMs to move fast without sacrificing quality or security.


This webinar is our invitation to co-create the future grid—with proven technology, real-world examples, and partnerships that work. Join Advantech and Startech for an in-depth technical webinar exploring proven IEC 61850-compliant solutions that enable the DNO-to-DSO transition across the Middle East and Africa.


So, mark your calendars for December 10th, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Don’t just watch the future happen—be a part of shaping it.


Together, we can shape a sustainable future that benefits both businesses and the planet.
