This agenda is the first and largest event organized by ITB students, discussing intensely the synergy between community elements consisting of academics, state-owned enterprises, private companies, and startups engaged in the energy sector.

NYSRE 2020 raised several topics which are the role of industry, national corporations and private multinationals in the field of renewable energy; global agency for youth empowerment in renewable energy; the government's role in achieving the 23% target of Indonesia's energy mix; entrepreneurship in the energy sector; the role of research institutions for the advancement of Indonesia; and the last is the career path in the renewable energy industry.

This event was closed with a competition that was held from March 2020, followed by the final on August 9, 2020.
