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.

This edition’s theme — “Navigating change in the energy transition” — highlights the need to adapt to evolving global dynamics, shifting policies, and emerging technologies that redefine how renewable energy projects are financed and developed worldwide.

'Future of Energy' is a must-attend event for everyone rising to the challenge of renewable energy project development & financing in Africa, Latin America, and Central & Southeast Asia.                                                                                                                                           

With an emphasis on networking opportunities, interactive panel discussions, and world-class keynotes, 'Future of Energy' will condense a year of business development into two days of learning, network-building, and good fun!
