ASEAN Energy Business Forum
Overview
Clean Energy Unlocked: A Stronger ASEAN
Driving innovation and investment toward a sustainable energy future

For over two decades, ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) has been the premier platform for shaping ASEAN’s energy landscape. Bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators, it fosters collaboration that drives solutions and progress.

The forum serves as a strategic venue where regional energy priorities are discussed and advanced, ensuring a more sustainable and resilient energy future for Southeast Asia.

In conjunction with the 44th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM), the 26th ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF-26) will be hosted by the Department of Energy (DOE) Philippines. This event will support the 2026 ASEAN Chairship under the Philippines' central theme “Navigating Our Future, Together”.

As the twenty-sixth edition of ASEAN’s annual premier conference and exhibition, the Forum will be a high-level, business-driven platform designed to position ASEAN as a competitive and reliable destination for clean energy and digital infrastructure investment.

Building on the opportunities and market trends discussed above, AEBF-26 brings together senior policymakers, the private sector, investors, financial institutions, and industry leaders. It aims to accelerate ASEAN’s energy priorities and commitments, while identifying specific collaboration and investment opportunities to contribute to a secure, resilient, just, and inclusive energy transition in Southeast Asia.
