Moscow hosted the first meeting of
the Organizing Committee of the Russian Energy Week International Forum (from
15 to 17 October 2025), under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister of the
Russian Federation Alexander Novak. The event was attended by
representatives of federal authorities, energy companies and industry
communities.
Opening the meeting, Alexander
Novak noted the substantive level of the business programme, the geography
of participants and guests of the Russian Energy Week 2024. Deputy Prime
Minister said that this year’s programme will retain its content, diversity and
intensity, as well as expand its international representation. “REW 2024 has
once again confirmed its reputation as one of the most significant events in
the field of international energy. In this cycle of Forum preparations, special
attention will be paid to inviting the foreign business community. Presentation
briefings for representatives of foreign organizations are expected to be held
in Moscow in order to internationally position REW 2025,” noted Alexander
Novak.
The main events of the REW 2025
programme will take place at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall and are
scheduled for 15 and 16 October, with 17 October becoming Youth Day. In
addition, an exhibition of industry innovation projects and high-tech equipment
for the fuel and energy sector will be organized again at the Gostiny Dvor
site. This year, more than 50 exhibitors presented their technological
developments and equipment for all energy sectors.
Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the
Russian Federation, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the
Russian Energy Week International Forum, outlined the main elements of
preparations for the Forum in 2025. “In preparing the business programme of
next year’s Forum, greater emphasis will be placed on dialogue with foreign
partners in all energy sectors, as well as on the involvement of the heads of
partner energy companies in the Forum and personal participation in the
programme sessions. In this regard, more active work will be done to promote
the Forum to foreign audiences in Asia, Africa and the Arab World. I am
confident that next year Russian Energy Week, as an effective tool for the
comprehensive development of international relations, will once again become a place of attraction for
serious international industry specialists, energy company executives, foreign
officials, and representatives of the business, expert and media communities,”
emphasized Anton Kobyakov.

industry, digital technologies, scientific and technological development of the
energy industry, climate agenda, energy security and other areas. The central
event of the business programme will be the plenary session. Special attention
will be paid to the nuclear power industry within the framework of the 80th
anniversary of the industry; it is planned to organize a large stand of nuclear
industry technologies and equipment at the Exhibition.

Week events, the scientific and practical conference ‘Territory of Energy
Dialogue’ will be held for the fourth time. The conference is of applied nature
