Event Overview

The European Clean Energy Transition Conference 2026 will convene industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to chart a path toward a secure, competitive, and sustainable energy future for Europe. With energy policy now central to Europe’s competitiveness and security, the conference will explore how to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, diversify clean-energy sources, and scale domestic infrastructure — from renewables and grids to hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. As Europe advances its clean and digital transitions, discussions will focus on keeping energy affordable and accessible while strengthening industrial leadership and resilience across the continent.
