moving away from fossil fuels in a decisive and definitive manner.
The event is divided into several plenary sessions, panel discussions and group
activities to ensure that its delegates can exchange ideas and information across a wide
range of issues and subjects concerning energy. The proceedings include evidence-
based presentations from different Asian countries.

Economy, Federal Minister Energy, Managing Director Private Power and Infrastructure
Board, amongst others.
