Energy Asia 2025 to focus on transition themes, wider collaboration
by AUFA MARDHIAH ENERGY Asia 2025 will focus on key topics such as economic uncertainty, geopolitical risks, capital markets and changes in the power sector, as part of efforts to support Asia's shift to cleaner energy. To be held in Kuala Lumpur from June 16 to 18, the conference — led by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) — will introduce new formats to encourage action, especially through greater involvement from youth, innovators and decision-makers. Petronas Group Strategic Relations and Communications head Arni Laily Anwaruddin said the conference will cover things around the geopolitics and the macro landscape. 'We also have power markets in transition, and talk about electric vehicle (EV) securities,' she told reporters at the Road to Energy Asia event today. This year's event will also explore themes like talent development, innovation and how to fund energy transition projects across Asia. Energy Asia 2025 will also bring together a wider range of participants, including policymakers, corporate leaders, students, academicians and energy enthusiasts. Apart from that, Petronas also aims to expand delegate diversity beyond just growing attendance numbers. This includes a broad range of participants beyond policymakers and corporate leaders, emphasising the importance of involving younger generations and ensuring wider representation in the energy transition. Meanwhile, the CEO roundtable — a regular feature of the event — has been redesigned. Instead of a traditional discussion, participants will join smaller workgroups to form 'soft pledges' that support collective progress. 'They will be rolling up their sleeves. Not just a roundtable, they will be broken up into work streams…so that Asia can come together better,' Arni Laily said. Other highlights include the expanded Energy Park exhibition, the Future Energy Leaders Programme and the inaugural Energy Asia Awards recognising achievements in innovation and social impact.
