The main goal of the Forum is to discuss relevant issues in global energy, identify areas for the development of the main sectors of the fuel and energy industry, and search for optimal solutions to respond to existing challenges.

Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov said the REW has prospects to become the largest industry-based event in the country. «More than 8,000 representatives from the government authorities, leading scientists and experts from Russia and other countries, and about 1,000 media members will take part in the Forum», Kobyakov said.

Commenting on the business programme, Russian Deputy Minister of Energy and Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee Anton Inyutsyn said the theme of this year’s forum will be ‘Energy for Global Growth’. «The business programme will feature a discussion of the main challenges facing the energy sector and current problems with its development. There will be a whole series of discussions on topical issues in the oil and gas industry, the power industry, the coal industry, energy efficiency, and the international agenda», Inyutsyn said.

A key part of the forum’s programme will also be Russian Energy Week Youth Day, which will be largely devoted to the #BrighterTogether All-Russian Energy Conservation Festival, one of the preparatory stages for the World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi on 14–22 October 2017.
