Dear friends,
I would like to cordially welcome all the participants and guests of this forum.
Over the past few years, the forum has rightfully become one of the most prominent international platforms for discussing current issues related to the fuel and energy industry. It is here that top managers of major companies and scientific institutes, as well as politicians and experts from Russia and other countries, evaluate development trends and prospects for the fuel and energy sector, exchange views on the technological challenges the industry faces, and consider problems related to environmental protection and climate change.
The theme of this year’s forum is The New Reality of Global Energy: Building the Future. Achievements that shape the future of both Russian and global energy will be presented during the business programme. There will be reports on the immediate and long-term priorities in the oil, gas, coal, and electric power industries. Participants will discuss strengthening Russia’s technological sovereignty and the digital transformation of the domestic fuel and energy sector.
As per tradition, forum participants will pay special attention to international energy cooperation. Despite the current geopolitical situation, this area of focus is actively evolving today. Economic growth, scientific and technological progress, and improvements to the quality of life of people around the world directly depend on effectively utilising the potential of this partnership.
I am certain that the recommendations developed during the Russian Energy Week and the agreements signed on the sidelines will help to strengthen cooperation in this strategic area and to build a prosperous future for our countries and nations.
I wish you all productive and successful work.
Vladimir Putin
About forum
REW is a key international platform for discussing current issues in the development of the fuel and energy sector, interregional cooperation, and the establishment of international relations in the field of energy. In 2024, the Forum will be held at two venues for the first time, combining the business programme with a specialized exhibition of equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy sector.
“Much of Russia’s success is linked to the fuel and energy industry and attention paid to problems and achievements in the industry. Energy makes the national and international news each day: new technologies are actively being introduced, new partnerships are emerging, and companies are entering new markets. We expect that the Russian Energy Week forum will enable international and Russian participants to see the whole range of opinions and create new joint initiatives.”
Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, and Chairman of the Expert Council of the MediaTEK National Competition
“Russia as a leader of the world’s energy industry substantially contributes to the global energy agenda. I am glad that heads of states, energy authorities and companies as well as experts from numerous countries choose Moscow and REW as a platform for discussing issues of energy development. This year main topics will include ‘Sustainable development of the energy industry for an unpredictable world’ and a roadmap of Russian energy industry development until 2024, as well as opportunities for investors, equipment producers and energy consumers brought about by the launch of major energy projects.”
