Challenges on the global energy market require closer cooperation among the European governments and the energy market stakeholders. The necessary transition from fossil fuels to renewables can only be successful through the dialogue. More than ever, it is also important to keep an eye on security of supply for the industry and private households. It requires investments in the long-term partnerships and in secure and diversified energy supply. And it also requires a state energy strategy that meets the challenges by being open to new technologies and investments in sustainable energy sources.


In order to strengthen the future- and opportunity-oriented dialogue in the energy sector between government, business and experts, the German-Slovene Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Slovenia) cordially invites you to the AHK Energy Forum, which will take place on 24 November 2022 in Ljubljana.
