The major theme will be “Expanding the Mediterranean Energy Sector: Fuelling Regional Growth,” with a special focus throughout the event on research and innovation, the ‘digital revolution,’ and the rapid implementation of energy-efficient technologies.
“We have consolidated relationships with the countries across the Mediterranean,” said Innocenzo Titone, the event’s chairman. “It is a natural hub, paving the way for gas flows from African, Asian, and Mediterranean countries to Europe. At the same time, the discovery of large hydrocarbon deposits, as in the case of Egypt, will be able to satisfy that country’s internal energy needs and regional export demand. Countries in the Mediterranean area are rich in natural resources, and are working hard on the energy mix development and helping to achieve carbon neutrality.”
