This event is a very good platform to gather information on what’s really happening in the region, what are the needs for the next year for people in the industry to act, but also it’s a great networking event because lots of discussion are taking place behind the scenes.
Clean Energy Researcher, Japan NRG
Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition is unique in the fact that it’s not only about new energy transitions, where it’s going to be the business of the future in ten years, but it’s very practical as well. I like the balance.
Commercial Director, Energy Transition Business Development, Large Industries & Hydrogen Energy Division, Air Liquide
The Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition is a great opportunity to meet with a number of companies covering the whole spectrum of energy issues and topics from gas to power. It’s an opportunity to get lots of very interesting insights from the various panels and conferences, so really a lot to learn at the Japan Energy Summit.
