Initiating partner: GESponsors: MOL, SSD,

E.ON

CEE faces a number of short and long term energy related challenges, including sustainability and renewable energy, that threaten the stability and competitiveness of the region.

The First Regional Energy Forum aims to introduce a new approach by bringing together the stakeholders from CEE including the business community, the public and NGO sectors for an open and constructive dialogue. Our goal is to identify potential areas of regional cooperation to turn this threat into a mutually beneficial opportunity.

’08 Budapest Second Regional Energy Forum Global Challenges – Regional ActionsThe First Regional Energy Forum concluded that energy

challenges, if addressed jointly, present the region with a unique opportunity to generate a "leapfrog effect" in the competitiveness of the region. The Second Regional Energy Forum seek to promote a more unified, collaborative approach and a common vision for the region’s future and identify tangible actions we can start working on.

This year AmCham Bulgaria has also joined the partners from CEE driving SREF. REC will mobilize the NGO sector while GKI Energy Research provides scientific background.

The Hungarian Minister of Economy will have his counterparts responsible for energy to participate in a roundtable discussion on the second day of the event.
