About the Strategic Conference

In a world where rising demand coincides with geopolitical volatility, capital discipline, technology disruption and growing pressure on infrastructure, the need to examine and discuss the strategic choices that will determine how energy systems perform under stress and how they evolve to meet future needs has never been more critical.

The ADIPEC Strategic Conference responds to this need by focusing on the system-level priorities shaping energy security, economic resilience and long-term growth and competitiveness.

ADIPEC 2026 Themes:
Performance under pressure: Energy systems in a new era
