On 24 & 25 March 2026, FMO and Solarplaza will once again host the 'Future of Energy' Summit in Amsterdam. This high-level event unites a global mix of top project developers, financial institutions, investors, service providers, and asset owners to tackle the critical strategic challenges and opportunities related to accelerating the renewable energy transition in emerging markets.
