In this opening episode of the DEDALUS podcast series, host Diego Giuliani explores why technology alone is not enough to drive the energy transition. As Europe pushes for more efficient and advanced solutions, a key question emerges: how can these technologies truly meet users’ needs and gain their trust?With contributions from Diego Arnone (Engineering Group), Chiara Fonio (ICONS Innovation Strategies), Panos Skaloumpakas (National Technical University of Athens), and Oula Terttunen (Smart Innovation Norway), the discussion highlights the importance of human-centred design, co-creation, and social acceptance. They explore why it is essential to involve users from the design phase, and how this approach can broaden participation in the energy transition, turning users from passive recipients into active co-innovators.Find out more about DEDALUS at: https://dedalus-horizon.eu/
