Registration for the 7th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2014 opens today. Organised by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) since 2008, SIEW has developed over the years into a leading forum for discussing energy issues in Asia.
SIEW’s theme for 2014, “Building Energy Connections”, reflects how energy markets are becoming increasingly interconnected. Key energy thought leaders set to share their insights at SIEW include: Maria van der Hoeven, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Masakazu Toyoda, Chairman and CEO of the Institute of Energy Economics Japan (IEEJ); Peter Schwartz, futurist and co-founder of the Global Business Network; and Anthony Jude, Senior Adviser and Practice Lead (Energy) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The Singapore Energy Summit, kick-starts the week and provides insights into topical issues including energy connectivity in Asia, exploring the optimal energy mix, integrating renewables into our energy system and the role of energy technologies in sustainability.
This adds to a suite of conferences and events which cover the spectrum of today’s global energy priorities; including:
- The Asian Energy Financial and Investment Conference is the first Asian event hosted by the notable Edison Electric Institute, and will include investment presentations, a project financing workshop, and opportunities for investors and analysts to meet C-suite energy executives.
