10th Balkans Energy Summit!  

Building on a decade of convening senior energy leadership, the 10th Balkans Energy Summit returns to Athens, Greece, as a landmark platform shaping the next phase of Southeast Europe’s energy system.

Hosted by IN-VR and its Net Zero Circle community, the Summit brings together ministers, regulators, CEOs, investors, TSOs, utilities, and infrastructure developers at a critical moment for Europe’s energy security, power system resilience, & transition financing.

As Europe redefines its energy architecture, the Balkans sit at the crossroads of gas corridors, LNG access, power interconnection, renewable deployment, and infrastructure investment.

The 10th edition moves beyond ambition and policy statements to focus on what actually gets built, financed, connected, and utilised.

The Summit serves as a high-level business and policy platform, enabling strategic dialogue, deal-making, and cross-border collaboration across oil & gas, power, renewables, grids, storage, and finance ensuring continuous engagement across all two conference days.
