    As Europe enters a decisive phase of its energy transition, the challenge of delivering clean, reliable and affordable power is becoming ever more complex. The Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Europe sit at the nexus of this shift connecting Europe’s demand with African resources, Middle Eastern capital and global trade routes. Building interconnected, flexible and investable energy systems will require aligning regulation, technology and finance at a time of fiscal strain and geopolitical uncertainty. Progress now depends on closer cooperation between policymakers, industry and investors to balance energy security, competitiveness and social stability in the decade ahead.

    Set in Athens, the Energy Transition Summit: East Med & Southeast Europe offers a platform to explore these issues in-depth. Over two days, the summit will bring together senior executives, government leaders, and energy experts to share strategies, exchange ideas, and drive progress on regional and global energy goals.
