The global energy system is undergoing a fundamental structural transformation. Focusing on decarbonisation and the advancement of clean energy, this transition has emerged as a key driver of sustainable development, economic resilience, technological innovation, and regional cooperation.
Governments, industries, and financial institutions worldwide are accelerating efforts to develop innovative energy infrastructure, with investment increasingly directed towards green energy generation, energy storage technologies and intelligent grid solutions.
Future-oriented energy investment plays a strategic role not only in the green transformation of energy supply systems, but also in reshaping global development pathways and directing capital allocation.
This session will examine key areas including policy incentives, the strategic mobilisation of public capital, innovation and technology transfer, and the coordination of cross-border financing.
The aim is to facilitate dialogue on how to build a global energy investment ecosystem that is resilient, equitable, and responsive to long-term sustainability imperatives.
Theme 1: Strategic capital approaches to future energy systems
- What are the emerging investment opportunities in future energy systems, such as next-generation batteries, clean mobility systems, and green hydrogen?
- How can strategic capital approaches transform these innovations into scalable, bankable assets that underpin future energy resilience?
- As trends converge in data centres, computational power management, and green energy integration, how can the tripartite nexus of energy-digital-finance reshape investment logics?
Theme 2: Strengthening Policy-Technology-Capital synergies for cross-border investment in renewable energy
- How can international policy coordination and regional cooperation platforms foster an enabling environment for cross-border investment in renewable energy?
- Given the long-term and capital-intensive nature of energy infrastructure, how can hybrid cross-border financing structures and policy-based guarantee instruments be leveraged to channel both public and private capital into renewable energy projects?
- In view of regional energy integration, how can sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors from Asia collaborate to improve investment resilience and energy security?
