The CEO Forum defining Europe’s energy transition

20 CEOs. One room. A private forum tackling Europe’s biggest energy challenges and setting the course towards 2030 and beyond.

Hosted at Enlit Europe in partnership with Iberdrola, the Evolution Talks brings together the industry’s most influential CEOs for an unprecedented closed-door dialogue. Here, Europe’s top energy leaders confront the critical challenges of the transition, from decarbonisation and security of supply to competitiveness and innovation, with outcomes and strategies that will guide Europe’s energy future.

Turning Dialogue Into Direction

The Evolution Talks is more than a meeting. Under the Chatham House Rule, participants will confront Europe’s most urgent energy challenges and agree on the actions needed to secure a competitive, resilient, and decarbonised future.
