Energy Transition Summit: East Med & Southeast Europe

As Europe advances on its path to a sustainable energy future, the challenge of building clean, reliable, affordable energy systems is both urgent and complex. Success hinges on collaboration among policymakers, industry leaders and investors to tackle critical issues such as decarbonisation, energy security, and affordability – all against a backdrop of volatile geopolitics and market uncertainty.

Set in Athens—a vital crossroads linking Europe, Africa, and the Middle East—the Energy Transition Summit: East Med & Southeast Europe offers a pivotal platform to address these challenges. Over two days, with guidance from Financial Times and Kathimerini journalists, the summit will bring together top executives, government leaders, and energy experts to share strategies, exchange ideas, and drive progress on regional and global energy goals. Featuring exclusive CEO interviews and in-depth panels, the event will deliver actionable insights into building a competitive and sustainable energy ecosystem for this critical region.
