The conference will feature four key programs:

• Strategic leadership
• AI: Energy
• ClimateTech
• Hydrogen

These programs will explore the role of natural gas and technological innovation in building a robust energy system capable of withstanding market fluctuations and supporting ⁢global economic growth.

Confirmed⁤ speakers

The conference will feature more than 50 sessions,including roundtables,leadership panels,ministerial addresses,and on-stage interviews.⁢ Confirmed speakers include:

• Adolfo urso, Minister of Business and Made in Italy
