📅 24–25 March 2026
Amsterdam
The Future of Energy Summit 2026, — taking place on 24–25 March 2026 in Amsterdam — is the premier global forum accelerating renewable energy finance and deployment in emerging markets. Co-hosted by FMO (the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank) and Solarplaza, this summit brings together developers, investors, DFIs, policymakers, and strategic partners to tackle the most pressing challenges shaping the energy transition today.
As the global energy transition evolves, all the players are facing a fragmented landscape of diverse policies, capital constraints, and emerging technologies. At the same time, the need for clean energy solutions is most acute in regions like Africa, Latin America, and Central & Southeast Asia. The Future of Energy Summit is uniquely positioned at this nexus — catalysing conversations that turn into investable projects, strategic partnerships, and real outcomes. The summit’s theme — “Navigating change in the energy transition” — reflects the need for pragmatic strategies to unlock capital, drive resilient infrastructure, and capitalize on innovation.
What Makes This Summit Unique
The Future of Energy Summit is designed not just as a talk shop, but as a practical accelerator for partnerships and project development:
Key differentiators include:
- A senior-level delegate audience — decision-makers with capital and operational responsibility.
- Interactive formats, such as Solution Circles, that move beyond traditional panels to focused working discussions.
- Emphasis on implementable outcomes, not just insights.
- Sessions on financing structures, risk mitigation, grid solutions, and storage integration tailored to emerging markets.
Strategic Topics & Agenda Highlights
