SIEW Launch 2015
We are pleased to inform that the Singapore International Energy Week 2015 is officially launched!
The theme “Global Energy Transitions” reflects how recent volatility in oil prices, growing energy demand in Asia, and increasing market interconnectivity are greatly reshaping the global energy landscape. This has prompted re-assessment of long-term investments in both oil and gas, and alternative energy projects. Governments and industry need to consider how to leverage the opportunities and challenges that these developments present.
Against this backdrop, SIEW 2015 will address how best to navigate the emerging energy transitions, and the impact these changes would have on the global energy system.
The programme is as follows:
- Mr Yeo Yek Seng, Acting Chief Executive, EMA
