The Investors Dialogue, which is coordinated by InnoEnergy, is a platform for energy and finance experts from all EU countries to discuss financing schemes that aim to enhance and mobilise additional capital for Europe’s climate and energy objectives. Here the initiatives of the year will culminate in a meeting for stakeholders and is a key opportunity to meet and network with members and stakeholders of the energy and financial landscapes. 

 
An opening keynote speech will be given by from Ditte Juul-Jørgensen, the Director-General for Energy at the European Commission, followed by a series of panels featuring high-level speakers such as officials from EU institutions, representatives from international organisations, and experts in the financial and energy fields. This is also a key opportunity to meet and network with members and stakeholders of the energy and financial landscapes.
