Welcome Speech

All praise and gratitude we offer to God Almighty for His abundant grace and blessings, which have enabled Institut Teknologi PLN (ITPLN) to continuously fulfill its role as a higher education institution committed to the advancement of knowledge and technology, particularly in the fields of energy and informatics.

In response to the growing global challenges in energy transition, artificial intelligence, big data, and the digitalization of power systems, there is a pressing need for an academic and professional platform to bring together stakeholders from around the world. Therefore, we are organizing the International Conference on Advanced Technologies in Energy and Informatics (ICATEI) 2025, a prestigious international scientific conference that serves as a collaborative forum for academics, researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas, research findings, and innovative solutions that address current and future challenges.

We believe that the success of this conference relies greatly on the support of various parties, including sponsors, industry partners, government institutions, and academic entities both domestic and international. Hence, we warmly invite all participants to actively contribute to ICATEI 2025, not only as speakers and attendees but also as partners in advancing science, technology, and sustainable development for Indonesia and the global community.

On behalf of Institut Teknologi PLN, I extend our sincere appreciation for your participation and support. May this conference foster meaningful academic collaboration, strengthen research networks, and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as Indonesia's energy transition agenda toward a more sustainable future. Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
