As our global energy systems undergo rapid evolution, driven by technological advancements and economic transformations, the imperative to build secure, resilient, and flexible energy systems has never been more urgent. As a curtain-raiser for SIEW this October, the SIEWConnects will convene leading policymakers, industry innovators and financial experts to navigate Asia's critical role in this global transition.
This pivotal gathering will explore how deepened regional and international cooperation can accelerate the deployment of future-ready energy solutions, scale up green infrastructure and de-risk crucial projects across Asia. Speakers will examine innovative financing models and strategic investments needed to unlock Asia's clean energy potential, from hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture to advanced renewables.
Key discussions include:
- How can Asia build resilient energy systems that balance reliability with sustainability?
- Which innovative financing mechanisms can effectively de-risk clean energy projects in emerging markets?
- How can we accelerate the development of cross-border energy infrastructure?
- Which policy frameworks and market structures will best support Asia's energy transition?
